Am I in the wrong?

So, uh… what’s the difference in your son running around in his boxers or running around in swimming trunks?

Someone is ALWAYS going to have something to say… about how you raise your kids, how you keep your house, your religion, your political beliefs…there are just people in this world who aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about!

You do you, and what’s best/works for you and yours. If this person has a problem with how you raise your kids or how you run your house, they can kick rocks! It’s not exactly like they were invited anyway, they just showed up… which is rude on its own!

Mind their own business.

Nope ur not in wrong my 9 year old is always in his boxers

I make sure I call my in-laws with plenty of time before going to their house. My father-in-law is either his boxers or just a towel if he’s home, he’s usually at work. It’s your house, you set the dress code.

Nope. Let them be scared of skin in their own home and mind their business in yours. :man_shrugging:

Underware is not appropriate in mixed company. You should start getting them use to this so as they get older it is the norm. All it takes is one instance when older to be embaressed or not accepted by peers or their familes.

Standard in my house I will make my daughter (4) put her sweat pants on if anyone comes in though if it’s just us at home me and my girls (4) (18m) big tees and undies

He’s a CHILD. It’s only inappropriate if you make it inappropriate. Kids aren’t seeing it that way they’re innocent and don’t think like that so for an ADULT to make a comment about it is just immaturity. My son is 6 and he chills at home in his boxers and I have an 11 year old daughter and she is oblivious to it.

I get being comfortable in your own home but being in your underwear around company shouldn’t be a thing to begin with :woman_shrugging:t3: family is one thing, but you wouldn’t allow your child to walk around in their underwear outside or any other place so why would you allow them just because they are in their own home AROUND people who aren’t family :thinking: my son is 3 almost 4 and has clothes on when company is over, he doesn’t just run around in a pull-up because I wouldn’t take my son some place in just a pull-up

My boys are 13yo and 5.5yo and guess what the it starts from the top is bs I’m rarely naked in front of my boys but they are nudist! Always have been and probably always will be! Despite the fact that I am fully clothes constantly around them! You let them be comfortable in YOU ALLs house! I don’t give 2 shits what another says about me and mine and our home!

I don’t see anything wrong in this situation. It’s your house to set the standards and whoever complained needs to mind their own business

Heck no t ok you are not wrong at all

You know what, maybe you should start sleeping with no underwear on so they can kiss your @$$. You know what is inappropriate and what isn’t for you and your children.

I would probably ask them if it bothered them enough to not just drop by any more… Here’s the thing a lot of people don’t understand- just because you’re family doesn’t mean that you get to tell others how to live comfortably in their own house. Family doesn’t have a separate set of rules for manners. They need to mind their own business and maybe not just stop by. I would literally tell any of my family members this advice…Even my momma!!

Anyone who says a child wearing undies in the comfort of their own home is inappropriate shouldn’t even be in the home. That’s their problem not yours. And as far as it being around the girls I don’t see that as an issue since everyone is young and I’m sure it’s not like you just left them unsupervised so definitely not an issue

No, it’s fine. Wear what you want in your own house.

If the parent of the girls didn’t mind, there’s no problem. No one else’s opinion matters but the ho.e owners and the parents. And the parents opinion matters only as far as it involves their children.

Maaaan they would really hate to come to my house. My kids 6 (7 next week and a girl) and my 9 year old son wear just undies in the house. My daughter sometimes wears a sports bra (only if the curtains are open) I wear a t shirt and underwear and my husband wears just boxers hanging around the house. Nothing is seen that shouldn’t been seen. But we are very open and teach out children to be comfortable with their own bodies and not to be ashamed. Bodies are only sexualized if you make them sexualized :person_shrugging:

I don’t see anything wrong with an 8 year old hanging out at home in his undies

Absouloutly nothing wrong with this. Most people wrongly associate underwear and bras with sex for some stupid reason. If people make a big deal about it, and tell kids it’s wrong and to be embarrassed or uncomfortable about it, they probably will be. It’s perfectly fine.

Tell them that they are no longer welcome at your house…

Let the child be comfortable

That is just their opinion, and that is all it is. Depending on the State you live in, different states have different ideas about what is considered appropriate, unfortunately!
I believe that it’s their house, their rules!
I guess I just don’t understand why it is even an issue. Little kids live in their underwear…or diapers. Even when the parents don’t run around like that. I don’t because I was raised by a body shaming, flannel nightgown to your ankles, husband sleeps in a different bed on the other side of the house type.

Same at our house, as long as your bits are covered your good. It’s your house your rules

What you and your family does in your own home as long as you aren’t uncle with each other is no one else business. Second of all maybe things will change once your kids get older that’s up to you all but this family member acting like having bodies is shameful is nuts. They can keep their issues and opinions to themselves.

People who have an issue with the human body have their own mental issues to sort out. There’s nothing morally wrong about the naked human body and certainly not when there is still underwear on. People chill naked in their own homes all the time. Kids don’t like clothes cause they’re unnatural. Big fucking woop.

My son’s 13 still chilax in his jocks less we have visitors perfectly normal

Mind their own business

No, but you don’t have to tell them :heart::pray:t2::muscle:t2:

Tell them to mind their own business, ain’t nothing wrong with that!

Umm, it’s your house. You’re allowed to be comfortable in your own house and so are they. The only time I would see it as an issue is if someone in the house was uncomfortable with it and you didn’t consider their feelings about it. Other than that, do what you want.
