Also, my man is usually in just his boxers or shorts. I wear just my robe all the time. We are just not the kind of people to pop up on. Lemme know if you’re coming over

Someone will always have something to say. I’ve learned that if I’m okay with it, the right people will be okay with it too. Otherwise, they can either give me a notice that they’re coming over or they could just not come over anymore. It’s not a kids job to be uncomfortable to put adults at ease.

My 14 Yr old walks round in boxers at times. My 8yr old too. Is their home.
People SHOULD mind their own no one cares about a little boy being in undies unless they themselves have weird feelings about it straight up 
your home your rules. If they don’t like it then let you know way in advance so you can tell them this is how it is and if you don’t like it then don’t show up
I walk around like Winnie the Pooh… my kids also do. I’d put pants on but wouldn’t be overly bothered with trousers or shorts.
I really wouldn’t worry about it. It’s their problem x
As a mom of three boys they hate clothes thats the first thing they do when they get home is strip in there undies they are 8 6 and 5. The way i see it its my house if people dont like it they dont have to come over!

Doesn’t sound like anything inappropriate is going on. Not that I was thinking that. But if you don’t say stuff like that people freak out. 
Anyways, if they aren’t paying your bills or you are not living under their room I’d tell them thank you for their advice but this is your home and your direct family and yall are raising them just fine and nothing inappropriate is going on. But you do appreciate their advice.
No need to be rude, just firm. They can take it as they want, that we cannot control. Goodluck and remember it’s your home and your children. Mind you if you have a spouse make sure yall are on the same page lol

My family is always in varying states of undress at home, because home is where you should be comfortable. We never tell them they have to cover up if it’s just family at home, and they’re very secure in their bodies, know correct anatomical terms, and are less giggly about body parts because they haven’t been made to feel they’re taboo. Rock on with or without pants as you see fit, mama

Your family member would hate my house. My 4 year old it currently sitting on the couch in his whitey tightys and my 3 year old is sprawled out on the floor in her underwear. When my 9 year old gets home from school I can guarantee his pants will be off before he hits his bedroom. My 6 year old girl is constantly in her underwear and a t shirt and don’t even get me started on my 16 and 12 year old . And and their dad, a grown man, will literally drive in his underwear on our way to vacation (22hr drive) soooo yeah, your family member would have a dang heart attack in my “inappropriate” household

The first thing my son does when he comes home from school is take his pants off (keeps underwear and shirt on) I don’t see a problem with it. If he goes outside to play he puts shorts on. It sounds like they need to mind their own business.
Nope your home your rules if they don’t like it don’t come over. My 4 yr old hates clothes and is only in underwear when we are home. It’s her home so idc what anyone says to me and you shouldn’t care either

When they were little I would however I will get up to go to the bathroom in my t-shirt but it’s not their house not their business your house your rules but Maybe your husband is worried that somebody may take it into their own hands to make phone calls that don’t need to be made and bring more drama to your house

Has nothing to do with them. People have the same BS opinions on homeschooling kids… how “they need to be socialized so they’re used to it” which makes it seem like because they dont go sit in a brick building for 8 hours every day that they’re clueless when it comes to other humans. Same with your house… of course your son knows that he cant hang out at the mall in his undies,but at home that’s a whole different story. Home is for comfort and safety, not everyone elses opinions

There’s nothing wrong with your son walking around like that in his own home. HOWEVER, since there were little girls over there it probably would’ve been better to have him in some shorts. But since the parents didn’t mind, it’s okay and folks should mind their business.

I did allow my youngest to run around in his undies when they were loose. Then when he got older I taught him he’s too old in female company including me and sisters (who are 7+older). It’s RESPECTFUL to them to acknowledge that they should be treated Respectful. But, if he continues to runaround in undies ,they will nit respect him in turn. You may think it doesn’t bother them. But, have you sat them down and asked them. I was surprised when my step son came to me one evening and confessed that his Dad running around in his boxer briefs were making him uncomfortable. My husband was surprised as well. He said it didn’t bother him just him and Dad. But, when I entered the room ,he was embarrassed. I think this needs to be addressed to each child and husband. Also. They won’t respect YOU if you don’t respect yourself enough to get dressed. This all boils down to self respect and respect of others. Children should stop running around in their undies after puberty starts. Apparently you have company over when you are not dressed and that is also inappropriate. You say they shouldn’t come over. But, why would you allow them in. If your always nit dressed…you’ll never have company. Yes , that sounds nice. But, what about …their company. Their friends coming over. Show some respect…teach respect. Get dressed properly.

Dude my grandfather wore bikini Speedos. Didn’t matter who was there… he even mowed the grass in them. Luckily he was fit 
. He sunbathed out back nude (in the suburbs). He was nude unless ppl were over (no I never saw his junk and I lived there for years).
I had a co-worker babysitting my son and her 2 or 3 of her 4 boys would be running around with nothing on… the other one(s) would have on underwear. That was a little weird, but to each their own.
My in-laws were like this too to a point. When my daughter was a toddler, 1-3, who cares if she doesn’t have a shirt on! Like she’ll never be able to have that… they didn’t see it the same lol. Even my son they’ll be like where’s your shirt…. He’s a boy why does he need one? I don’t get it, but personally idc be comfortable in your own skin.

My kids (5 and 3) get undressed and run around in their undies as soon as we get home from somewhere. I’m not gonna force them to wear clothes. Now if I know we have people coming over I have them at least put a long shirt on. I mean I’m 27 and wear boy short undies and a t-shirt around my house. Ain’t no one gonna tell me what to do in my own home.

Your child was covered up, and that is all that is important. The kids were probably very tired after that trip, and if someone in your family has a problem, they should have said something to both you and your husband. What is the difference between a bathing suit and what he had on?

It’s his home; if he wants to be in his boxers, so what? My home is a safe place for my kids; they run around half dressed all the time, as do I. We also don’t view nakedness as a good or bad thing, just natural. Teaching kids it’s respectful to be dressed reinforces the idea that you are only as respected as the clothes you wear. Can anyone say rape culture? While there are of course expectations of having our privates covered in the presence of the opposite sex, they pretty much have free range on clothing at home.
