Is it wrong that I am sometimes naked around my teen sons?

Your house, your rules.

What a bunch of freaking nancies… Is it your house? Then do what you like. If you’re afraid your teenage sons are going to feel some type of way about their own mother because you have a towel on I think you have bigger issues to worry about :woman_shrugging:

If these boys are going to sexualize their own mother you might want to lock them up so they can’t see anyone else in the entire world wearing anything that’s not completely covering them

I’m confused by the wording… so you’re saying that after a shower you sit on your bed while wrapped in your towel and they see you in your towel…? Or you’re saying that you sit on your bed naked (no towel) and they come in your room? Towel is fine, you’re still covered… naked without your towel it’s strange to me

Wait… like your in a towel in your room on your bed and then grown ass kids come in…
Nothing wrong with that…
Now if your walking through the house butt naked after a fuck fest to get a drink… BIG problem….

I dont see a problem with it at all…when my kids are that age I’m doing the same. My kids are 5, boy and 8 girl and they see me in a towel all the time. I want them to be comfortable in their skin so why be ashamed of myself in a towel.

I mean if you’re in your room on your bed it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a towel or naked. But if you’re walking through the house naked or in a towel that’s a bit uncomfortable. But your house your rules i guess. But reasons like this is why I want my house to be the kid hang out place.

I lived in Germany for 4 years while in the army. Americans are the only ones who sexualize everything. It isn’t a big deal or inappropriate unless you or they say or do something to make it inappropriate. Do tour thing. Fuck the prudes.

My boys are 6,5,1. And they walk in on me all the time when I’m changing. It’s irritating because I just want a little privacy. They follow me everywhere. The 1 year old doesn’t really bother me as much.

First of all communal showers and family beds are normal in many countries. Americans sexualize everything. It’s fine. They are your children. Unless they tell you they have a problem with it, you are fine.

You’re in a towel in your room… I will stay in my towel for a bit &I have 4kids. My oldest is the only one that gets uncomfortable so I make sure he isn’t around if I have to run out of my room to grab something from the laundry. Other than that it’s his responsibility to knock on my door before walking in…

I’m so confused by the phrasing of this. To me, they’re adults. If they are upset by this it’s not like they can’t make themselves scarce when they know you’re showering. I really don’t get why they’d be in your space when you’re getting ready for work after just taking a shower.

If they don’t say anything then that’s cool. They could always walk out. Maybe is good thing, they won’t jump on every girl that as short skirt on or too much skin showing.

Nakedness doesn’t have to be, and should not be sexualized so much.
Good on you for teaching your boys that bodies are just bodies!
You are promoting a much healthier mindset that will help them grow to be much more respectful of others.

It seems like people are reading way too hard into this. The post clearly states she wraps her towel around her and sits on her bed to get ready. So y’all are saying u wouldn’t walk they ur home in a towel or even sit in your own room on your own bed ina towel bc your kids are home?

For all of the people saying it’s inappropriate, congratulations you just sexualized a random woman on the internet for sitting wrapped in a towel on her bed. :woman_facepalming:t2: It’s not like she’s sitting there spread eagle flashing them her vag, get a grip. She’s wrapped in a towel and chances are they just walk in knowing damn good and well that’s her room.

I can’t understand why bodies are inappropriate? Her kids came out of her vagina? Like it’s a BODY, just a body. It’s not like she’s walking around naked, she’s in a towel. I walk around in my towel ALL THE TIME. I think this question should have been asked differently. But really y’all, THEIR BODIES and if it doesn’t bother them, who cares?

If you have a towel wrapped around you then you’re not naked. How is it any different than wearing a dress? At first I thought you meant you walk around stark naked. THAT would be inappropriate. This is fine.

Towel is fine!! You’re covered.

Pay no heed… You didn’t sow bad seeds in their minds or yours, it’s never been a discomfort. So don’t let that bother you. And keep such a person out of your home.

As long as your rules and doings don’t offend your morals and those of the society, no need to worry

No, not appropriate!

The way I look at it if it makes them uncomfortable then that is one thing. If it doesn’t then continue on. It’s your house. My mom would walk around HER house naked well after I was adult. Am I going to tell her to put on clothes in her own house hell no. The problem is most people see the body as a sexual object. If people would just stop with the over sexualization of the body things would be so much different. I mean we don’t come into this world with clothes on

Are you naked or walking around with a towel?

I see nothing wrong with it. Your in a towel not walking around naked. The towel covers you. I have sons. They see me in my towel. They’ve been known to burst in the bathroom while I’m bathing. I do make them leave and talk to me through the door. If your comfortable then do you mama. People sexualizing parent children nudity are the ones with problems.

That’s not nude ? It’s the same thing a strapless dress would cover & more than a bikini would cover so NO it’s definitely not wrong to be in a towel. First of all, it’s your home… second of all it’s your kids & I’m sure they not the least bit curious to see you naked so they’re not trying to creep. & honestly, if you’re on YOUR bed then it’s simple as them knowing don’t come in my room when I’m fresh out the shower lol. They’re grown boys they know better so no you’re not wrong. Whoever is making a big should seek therapy.

They must be mortified, there’s a time & place for doing that, in your bedroom.

NO, NO, NO!!! If you just mention what you did or if any of your sons told anyone, you could be in major trouble legally. There should be ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to allow your sons to see you naked or partially naked. You are an adult, they are still kids, even though the 18 year old is legally an adult, your 17 year old is not. Have some decorum. Ever hear of indecent exposure? In some states, you could be charged “in some cases, an individual may face an indecent exposure to a child charge from an activity done in a private place.”

YES you are very wrong to deliberately be naked around your chidden. Its disgusting TOO!! If its accident …like You are running to bedroom because YOU forgot your clothes or something that’s one thing… but to deliberately struct yourself around children of ANY age is very wrong… Male or female parent should NEVER deliberately be naked around their female or male children . IF you are IN your bedroom they should NOT be IN there IF you are naked or even IN a towel.

QUIT SEXUALIZING NUDITY!

To the mother of this question, I am the same way with my boys. Never once have they batted an eye. At least my sons will grow up to know what women ACTUALLY look like and not what over-edited, photoshopped media/social media portrays women as.

Im 26 and still see my mom naked sometimes or I find myself walking in and talking to her while she’s on the toilet :rofl: shes like you’re 26 and I still can’t get privacy lmaoooo its normal to me im also a woman. But you are mom. If you live with someone whether related or not you’ll usually accidentally see them naked at some point. My boys are 5 & 7 and I make them go away if im naked but that doesn’t stop them from always trying to barge in the bathroom or my room when im getting dressed and ask questions. i can’t ever get any privacy with these kids honestly. but I do my best to keep them away when im nude.

I have a 23 year old son and a nine year old son. Neither can ever remember seeing me naked! You think it is okay right? But what if it was your daughter and your husband doing it. Bet you wouldn’t be so cool with it then.

Kids seeing you naked is one thing (While your helping them learn to dress themselves, wash themselves, use the bathroom themselves) but these are nearly adult sons. In a towel is fine but I hope you don’t parade around naked in front of them like it’s normal because it’s not.

If you are wrapped up then it doesn’t matter. If you are insecure then that is your problem. Being comfortable with your body is healthy. I am the same way with my kids. I have breastfed them so they know breasts are for food. They have seen my belly as that was their home before home.

We see our mom naked all the time hahahaha

my kids (2 adult daughters a 6 yr old boy) have always seen me naked a time or two. We are all very close, like when one of uses the bathroom we hardly ever shut the dooror if we are im the shower we leave the door open​:woman_shrugging:t2: i mean my kids shut the door but we just got used to leaving the door open we arent grossed out by each other, my girls especially used to be in the bathroom when i had to get a tampon etc, ive never let them think thT type of thing was gross :woman_shrugging:t2:

I think this was worded incorrectly. You weren’t nude, you were covered in a towel. Two completely very different things. Towels cover more than bathing suits.
I’ve always raised my kids to be comfortable in their own skin.
If it’s not made a big deal it won’t be for them in the future.
Being wrapped in a towel isn’t also isn’t nudity or inappropriate in your own home.

If you have a towel wrapped around you there’s no problem

Less in a bathing suit

You’re not exactly naked, wrapped in a towel. Like if you were walking around the house with no towel completely naked then that I feel would be an issue but you are in your own private space in your own home and you have a towel wrapped around you, I see no problem with this.

I dont walk round naked but my sons are 21 and 19 and they arent worried bout seeing their mums boobs or backside the odd time if they happen to walk in on me getting dressed or i need them to grab a towel from shower. I have a 13yr old daughter whom im trying to teach to be happy in her skin and to love her body so i have to show her im not ashamed of mine, stretch marks and all. I have always given them their privacy though as teenagers i think they need it

As babies there’s nothin wrong with it. And damn near adults its nasty and you need help. Maybe you’re just open like that but that’s not okay

If you’re wrapped in a towel idont see the fuss. But if there isint then I personally find it a bit odd because puberty and teenage boys and cause we are suppose.to teach out kids privacy

I’m old school I never even sleep naked nor do my sons grandson ever see me naked nor do I see them naked it’s more respect than anything else I just feel it is wrong

Why is everything so sensitive and sexualize?? It’s YOUR children, YOUR house. Aka YOUR rules. Things likes is only sexualize when ignorant, sensitive people don’t like things. If your son’s are uncomfortable about it, they’d tell you and if not, you could always have a conversation about it. But that’s it. Do you, mama. It’s a body, everyone has one :woman_shrugging:t2:

How’s about do what you want in your house behind closed doors and not tell the public what you do. The minute you do is when you begin to get judged and make it others business. If your children (boys) are of age and feel uncomfortable they should be able to speak up for themselves for what they deem is inappropriate and uncomfortable to them.
