Your house, your rules.
What a bunch of freaking nancies⌠Is it your house? Then do what you like. If youâre 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
If these boys are going to sexualize their own mother you might want to lock them up so they canât see anyone else in the entire world wearing anything thatâs not completely covering them
Iâm confused by the wording⌠so youâre saying that after a shower you sit on your bed while wrapped in your towel and they see you in your towelâŚ? Or youâre saying that you sit on your bed naked (no towel) and they come in your room? Towel is fine, youâre still covered⌠naked without your towel itâs strange to me
Wait⌠like your in a towel in your room on your bed and then grown ass kids come inâŚ
Nothing wrong with thatâŚ
Now if your walking through the house butt naked after a fuck fest to get a drink⌠BIG problemâŚ.
I dont see a problem with it at allâŚwhen my kids are that age Iâm 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 youâre in your room on your bed it doesnât matter if youâre wearing a towel or naked. But if youâre walking through the house naked or in a towel thatâs 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 isnât 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 Iâm changing. Itâs irritating because I just want a little privacy. They follow me everywhere. The 1 year old doesnât really bother me as much.
First of all communal showers and family beds are normal in many countries. Americans sexualize everything. Itâs fine. They are your children. Unless they tell you they have a problem with it, you are fine.
Your boys may not say anything but any normal adolescent guy would not like it at all.
Towel = ok, Naked= no way
Unless theyâre in your house their opinion donât matter
Youâre 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 isnât around if I have to run out of my room to grab something from the laundry. Other than that itâs his responsibility to knock on my door before walking inâŚ
Iâm so confused by the phrasing of this. To me, theyâre adults. If they are upset by this itâs not like they canât make themselves scarce when they know youâre showering. I really donât get why theyâd be in your space when youâre getting ready for work after just taking a shower.
If they donât say anything then thatâs cool. They could always walk out. Maybe is good thing, they wonât jump on every girl that as short skirt on or too much skin showing.
If u have on a towel youâre not naked
Nakedness doesnât 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 yâall are saying u wouldnât 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?
My kids are 16 and 14⌠my kids see me in a towel⌠anyone who thinks itâs weird⌠is weird⌠lol⌠we donât make it weird over here⌠walking around the house naked with ur children is a bit much⌠but a towel⌠noâŚ
For all of the people saying itâs inappropriate, congratulations you just sexualized a random woman on the internet for sitting wrapped in a towel on her bed. Itâs not like sheâs sitting there spread eagle flashing them her vag, get a grip. Sheâs wrapped in a towel and chances are they just walk in knowing damn good and well thatâs her room.
I canât understand why bodies are inappropriate? Her kids came out of her vagina? Like itâs a BODY, just a body. Itâs not like sheâs walking around naked, sheâs in a towel. I walk around in my towel ALL THE TIME. I think this question should have been asked differently. But really yâall, THEIR BODIES and if it doesnât bother them, who cares?
Other peoples opinions donât mean sh!t.
Your house, yalls comfort level and no one elses business.
If you have a towel wrapped around you then youâre 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.
Someone needs to learn that nudity isnât inherently sexual. Yikes
Who cares what anyone else thinks! Itâs your sons! It ainât like your strutting around naked
I will lock the bedroom door after shower and get dress real quick
Towel is fine!! Youâre covered.
Pay no heed⌠You didnât sow bad seeds in their minds or yours, itâs never been a discomfort. So donât let that bother you. And keep such a person out of your home.
As long as your rules and doings donât 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 doesnât then continue on. Itâs 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 donât come into this world with clothes on
I grew up this way and to this day my grandmother is still naked around her 3 grown boys when sheâs getting ready (bra and underwear) , itâs never been weird in my family because no one thinks of it that way, everyones seen their mama naked
If you have a towel wrapped around you then I do not call that NAKED!!!
Donât pay that person any mind. Itâs not wrong. Period. People need to stop sexualizing everything about the body. You should be able to be comfortable in your own home. Itâs your home.
I walk around in a sports bra and my undies in front of my 27 yo son and my 8 yo granddaughter. I also have a bath robe I wear when I get out of the shower. My house, my rules.
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. Theyâve been known to burst in the bathroom while Iâm 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.
Thatâs not nude ? Itâs the same thing a strapless dress would cover & more than a bikini would cover so NO itâs definitely not wrong to be in a towel. First of all, itâs your home⌠second of all itâs your kids & Iâm sure they not the least bit curious to see you naked so theyâre not trying to creep. & honestly, if youâre on YOUR bed then itâs simple as them knowing donât come in my room when Iâm fresh out the shower lol. Theyâre grown boys they know better so no youâre not wrong. Whoever is making a big should seek therapy.
They must be mortified, thereâs 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 âin some cases, an individual may face an indecent exposure to a child charge from an activity done in a private place.â
My son is 11 and wouldnât want him to see me naked⌠but wrapped in a towel you are covered so I donât see the issue⌠naked would be inappropriateâŚ
I think ask your boys how they feel. If it doesnât bother them, then who actually cares what someone else thinks?!
YES you are very wrong to deliberately be naked around your chidden. Its disgusting TOO!! If its accident âŚlike You are running to bedroom because YOU forgot your clothes or something thatâs 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.
People in the comments:
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 sheâs on the toilet shes like youâre 26 and I still canât get privacy lmaoooo its normal to me im also a woman. But you are mom. If you live with someone whether related or not youâll usually accidentally see them naked at some point. My boys are 5 & 7 and I make them go away if im naked but that doesnât stop them from always trying to barge in the bathroom or my room when im getting dressed and ask questions. i canât 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 wouldnât be so cool with it then.
Thatâs super inappropriate.
Youâre not naked around them, youâre covered with towel. Thereâs a huge difference between the two. Iâm confused why so many comments are saying itâs weird, Iâm going assume they didnât read the part where you said youâre wearing a towel
I personally donât like it but thatâs bc Iâm not comfortable with it. If youâre comfortable and your boys are comfortable/donât care then thatâs all that matters.
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 donât parade around naked in front of them like itâs normal because itâs not.
I do this I have 3 boys, they see me in bra and underwear all the time⌠No different than a bikini⌠Further two of them watched me breast feed the third so theyâve seen way more of me lol!! Towel acceptable donât let haters tell you different.
They came out of your body
Itâs fine as long as both parties are comfortable
Why do womenâs bodies need to be continually sexualized?
No itâs not weird I grew up with all sisters one brother⌠We all have to be ready to go somewhere quick ⌠Church every Sunday mom yelling at us to try stuff on⌠My moms more embarrassed we stand and talk to her with boobs out⌠My children know you better hurry up and get ready as well⌠solo mom at least Iâm trying to teach them that⌠Naked is normal⌠I was a fully nude dancer before children 12 years
Definitely think itâs inappropriate
Ask yourself this, if you partner (the dad) were to be walking around naked in front of your teenage girls would you think thatâs fine?! Itâs a no from me. Seriously. What a question to ask.
Hope all these crying babies never let their son see them in a bathing suit good Lord might make them explode
Wearing a towel and being naked are 2 different things. I donât see anything wrong with wearing a towel in front of them!
I have 3 kids 2 girls 10 and 13 and a 5yr old boy they all come in when Iâm taking a shower my youngest the most werenât make it awkward⌠they should know about the human body and that they are all different look at all the Karenâs on here getting their panties in a wad
Yâall are messed up FR.
wrapped in towel is ok. but totally naked? no, please.
If you are just naked yeah thatâs not really appropriate but if you have a towel covering you I donât see a problem.
In a towel itâs fine maybe bra and underwear, but butt naked, thatâs weird. Had it been a man, he wouldâve been accused of so many things
just shut the door problem solved
Shhh I jumped in the pool naked once at my parents⌠my toddlers told my dadâŚ
You arent even naked youre in a towel ?? People are idiots
I donât think it was wrong if you had a towel on its not like they could see anything donât worry about what other people think
Thatâs disgusting keep clothes on around your 2 teen boys wth kind of parent are you not a very good one
I myself wouldnât dream of letting my kids see me naked but everyone has different relationships with their kids and some are closer than others who are we to judge itâs your business
The ignorance of some of the commentsâŚ
Itâs your house, if thatâs how you guys have done things they donât care. Weâve always been open growing up and I am with my children. Who cares they are at the age Iâm sure they would voice it if they did care.
No issues at all. Theyâre your children. Some people are just more open than others are around their own children. I do not understand any person in these comments that would sexualize the relationship between mother and child or father and child, gross.
At that age I personally find that disturbing. My daughter doesnât see me naked
Girl donât worry about what anyone thinks. There is nothing wrong with being in a towel.
I walk around with towels in front of my kids. They donât care
Ewww look at all these people sexualizing a mom.
In a towel I wouldnât worry my children see me in a bikini
If you are wrapped in a towel, you are not naked, therefore its fine. Goodness gracious, you see more when you are wearing a bathing suit
If you are wrapped up then it doesnât 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 openâ: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
No way in hell would I be doing that with my son who is 19 years old, absolutely not.
I think this was worded incorrectly. You werenât nude, you were covered in a towel. Two completely very different things. Towels cover more than bathing suits.
Iâve always raised my kids to be comfortable in their own skin.
If itâs not made a big deal it wonât be for them in the future.
Being wrapped in a towel isnât also isnât nudity or inappropriate in your own home.
If you have a towel wrapped around you thereâs no problem
Less in a bathing suit
My sons are 11 amd 9 and they still come talk to me while im in shower or barge in yes i make them leave but they dont bat a eye if they catche out of shower without clothes. People that are sexualizing this are wrong. I also have a 2 year old daughter that showers with me. Makes it easier for me.
Youâre 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 sit in my towel all the time. Itâs zero difference than a strapless dress. Do as you please Mom your house + your kids = nobodyâs business
Ainât yâall ever barged in to talk to your mom in the bathtub? Get real
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 thereâs nothin wrong with it. And damn near adults its nasty and you need help. Maybe youâre just open like that but thatâs not okay
If youâre 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
Iâm old school I never even sleep naked nor do my sons grandson ever see me naked nor do I see them naked itâs more respect than anything else I just feel it is wrong
Why is everything so sensitive and sexualize?? Itâs YOUR children, YOUR house. Aka YOUR rules. Things likes is only sexualize when ignorant, sensitive people donât like things. If your sonâs are uncomfortable about it, theyâd tell you and if not, you could always have a conversation about it. But thatâs it. Do you, mama. Itâs a body, everyone has one
Howâs 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.
It was nothing for us growing up to walk in as kids do, without knocking, and see our Mom in a towel or in her undies⌠half the time we was following her into the bathroom while she pottied, or sat in the floor and played while she took a shower. I donât see the problem. Your a MOM. <3
Iâm 26 and still go in the bathroom at my moms house when sheâs in the bath or showering.
This is such a different response when itâs asked if a father can be naked around daughters of any age. Just an observation.
How I get about in my house is my business, if people have a problem with what youâve stated above Iâd be concerned.
Unless they state discomfort who gives af
My mom still changes in front of my brother and sister and i if we are at her house. We dont think anything of it. We are all grown. I still change in front of my daughter who is 3. My sister changes in front of her kids. She has a 10yr boy 9yr girl and 1yr boy
This is literally one step away from saying âwell what was she wearing she deserved itâ
