So my two boys, who I carried inside me for nine long months, each still live at home with me. They are 17 and 18 now. They have always seen me naked. Like when I get out of the shower, I wrap in my towel and go sit on my bed and get ready for work. Recently someone had a fit because I sit on my bed like that with my boys around. To them, it’s inappropriate. I honestly didn’t think it was a big deal. My boys don’t pay me the first bit of attention, and it’s not like I’m walking around nude. I was just wondering what other mamas thought ??

That is 100 percent inappropriate. They are way to old to being seeing any part of your body at this point. shut your bedroom door as you get dressed. Where I’m from you could actually be arrested
I don’t think it’s that weird. They’re you’re kids and it’s not a sexual exploitative situation. If one of them was to express that it made them uncomfortable, then it would be different. But he’ll, I’m almost 30 and will still go sit in the bathroom and talk to my mom while she takes a bath.
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Is it wrong that I am sometimes naked around my teen sons?
i dont even do this with my 6 yr old son…

I don’t really think it’s inappropriate, but I wouldn’t be comfortable. My son’s 4 and I still go naked around him but I think at some point I’d stop. Just personal opinion though, I see nothing wrong with it

All I have to say is, are you on f****** crack? First of all, that’s weird. Second of all, I’m the first person to be naked so don’t even come at me. Third, are you fully nude or just in a towel? Because a towel is fine, but fully naked? Are you on crack?
Especially if they’re that old and have seen it their whole lives…forget anybody elses opinion.

You parent anyway you want but to me it is weird and inappropriate. There is no way I’d do that I’m front of my kids but that’s me. I am baffled that you do this …
To me it’s weird the kids see that as normal but to me and the way I live it’s not.

Yes. Once a child starts school, modesty should be the norm, in my.opinion. that way if an unsavory person does it, the kid knows it’s not normal and not ok and can trigger the red flags for sexual abuse.

A towel is one thing if it’s completely covering you… but even then at their age why are they just walking through your room? They can’t wait till you’re clothed?! I make my 8 year old leave the room if I’m changing. I can’t imagine being naked in front of him when he’s a teen. Real weird.

If your wrapped in a towel in your room I don’t see anything harm in this. For a Mom of 3 boys. But if your running around your home naked I do see it harm.

You just said you walk around naked then said but you’re not nude. Which is it? And yes it is inappropriate.
Yes its inappropriate and you’re lucky no one called cps on you as I know someone called cps on someone for just going pee while their child was showing in the only bathroom of the house. Maybe start getting dress in your own room. Rainn.org

I don’t like being naked around my 8 year old son
Personally I don’t think it’s right
Y’all didn’t read it….the boys didn’t say anything someone else did……
I don’t see an issue with it… they know you are sitting there in a towel so it’s their choice to go to/by your room at that time or not….
Everyone makes it out to be so sexual but there is nothing sexual about it….

The body shouldn’t be shameful and they think nothing of it cause you’re not exposing yourself to them and you’re their mom. They couldn’t give a rats ass about it if you taught them that a body is a body 
they literally came out of your body it nourished them and if you taught them right which it seems you did they won’t care
How are you gonna let a someone tell you what makes them uncomfortable in your house…you said your boys don’t pay mind to it so don’t worry about it so much. Why be concerned about something that’s 1. None of their business and 2. Is literally bothering nobody.

Does this person understand that naked means no clothes? Also, put a damned robe on or something, for God’s sakes.
It’s not appropriate now that they are teenagers.
Weird that you’re ok with them seeing you naked.

No I’m sorry it isn’t appropriate. Once your children are old enough to know and understand body parts (around 1 maybe 2 depending on maturity) they should not see you naked.

All 4 of my kids, 3 girls 1 boy, see me naked constantly. I haven’t ever hid anything from them. That’s part of the problem is people making “seeing your parent naked” seem like it’s wrong! It’s not wrong at all! It’s life! If you’re doing something deemed “inappropriate” in front of them… that’s different.

Wow…I can’t imagine not feeling awkward nude or even in a towel around my 18 yr old son. My daughter its a bit more open but we still respect each others privacy…I respect hers way than she respects mine but she’s 11 so. Not appropriate in my opinion.
Are your boys uncomfortable by it? If not, then you do you. If they are, then change.

In my own personal opinion, I say as long as you’re covered by at least a towel, there’s nothing wrong with it. They’re old enough to say so.ething if they were bothered by it. My son is 20 almost 21 & he has his own place, but he knows that of he were in my house id still be doing it. I’ve always done that & probably always will. So I see nothing wrong with it. Like you stated, its not like you’re running around the house completely nude, you’re covered so it’s not like they’re seeing anything anyway.

If your covered in a towel I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. However I think if you were completely naked it wouldn’t be ok.

IMO if your sons haven’t said anything and your not walking around nude, but having a shower, using a towel and going to your room to get dressed… I don’t see a issue. I don’t consider being wrapped in a towel as naked either, standing there with nothing on and not covered is naked.
If your in a towel sitting on your bed I think it’s fine but every home is different my kids still walk in on me while I’m on the toilet like it’s nothing

Completely naked- No. In a towel, in your own room- yes. They are also old enough to understand that “ this is moms room, she can do what she wants, I need to knock on the door first before I just walk in. “
You can always ask them if they feel uncomfortable too. And if it makes it a little more okay wear a robe.

I don’t think it’s an issue if you’re in your room, especially since they don’t pay you any attention! 
Now if you were walking around completely nude like you stated (which you don’t) then I would see an issue
A body is a body, it’s not sexualised. I hate how people interpret things like this. If it doesn’t bother you or your boys it’s not an issue

Maybe I’m just different but, though I don’t walk around naked, my kids (b6,g7) have always seen me naked, in a towel, getting dressed, it doesn’t bother me, if they were to ever tell me it made them uncomfortable I would never do it again but I teach my kids that men’s and women’s bodies are normal and they should respect themselves but being naked isn’t taboo in my home

I’m confused - are they choosing to hang out in your room while you get ready for work? If you’re walking through the house in a towel to get to your room - I don’t see the big deal.
Granted my son is only a year - but my bathroom gets way too hot and muggy to get dressed in.

I have 3 boys. Two of which are teenagers sometimes in the craziness I’m running around the house getting the kids ready in just a towel because hey mom has to get ready to. She is completely covered. What’s the difference in wearing a swim suit in front of them. She’s naked under that too.

It’s not for me but nudity isn’t a taboo thing for a lot of people, different countries and different cultures so personally as long as nothing of a sexually abusing nature is happening there’s technically nothing wrong with it. My girls still will see me naked on occasion and my 2 year old son always does, I’m not sure when they’ll stop walking in on me lol I figure if I gross them out or make them uncomfortable they’ll stop barging in my room after I get out of the shower
