My kids are 11 and 12 and I will run around my house naked, half dressed or wrapped in something. The body is nothing to be ashamed of and shouldn’t be taught to kids to be ashamed of. Stop making everything sexualized!
I walk around with a towel all the time mine r 13 and 17, they don’t care couldn’t careless
Nothing wrong with it. Your sons will let you know if they are uncomfortable.
As long as you’re in a towel then I don’t see a problem. But keep the towel on so they don’t see anything. Completely nude is inappropriate.
I think it is totally inappropriate. Maybe when they are really little (3 or 4) but not when they are teenagers. I’m not a prude but I would not feel comfortable like this and wouldn’t want my 19 year old Son subjected to this/doing this.
Instead of asking for OUR opinion why don’t you ask your children how THEY feel about it. You’ll get a heck of a better understanding. They may act like they pay you no mind but in reality they may not want to upset or hurt you. So tell them to be HONEST with you and to let you know how they feel about it. If you’re sitting on your bed in your bedroom with the door shut that’s one thing, but the door open or on the sofa (ie. Living areas) that’s another story.
My nephew has always seen my sister naked… from an early age he would go in her bathroom while she was in the tub to either get something or ask her something… she or him did not care… he is 22 now
To me, naked would be with no towel! You’re covered more with a towel on than bikinis you’re fine with a towel! Don’t mind what anyone else says!
If you are wrapped up in a towel and your body is covered, I don’t see where there is a problem. It us not like you are walking around the house completely naked and your sons are looking at your body.
Wrapped in a towel isn’t naked. Now naked… yes, you should cover up. There is an age where children start to understand the human anatomy and it becomes a bit inappropriate. It may confuse the young mind or make them uncomfortable. I still walk in my underwear around the girls, 9 and 13, but I wear short undies & I’m starting to wear shorts more often since my oldest is getting older.
Not inappropriate or sexual
I still do not understand why the human anatomy is sooo taboo and over sexualized. In other countries nudity is completely normal. Here it’s like OMGGG I SAW A PENIS OR VAGINA. It’s a body part. Everyone has one or the other. GET OVER IT!
People are stupid, if the boys don’t care, then whatever.
In a towel isn’t naked now if ur walking around butt naked then that’s honestly weird
Fuxking weirdos whoever thinks wrong your child is not looking at you in a wrong way!
I get out the shower and walk around in my towel until I’m finally ready to get dressed… my kids are 9 and 6 and they still ask to shower with me… I don’t let them anymore but they do still ask… No shame it. Seriously… people see more of me when I go swimming than when I’m walking around wrapped in a towel
Wrapped in a towel or underwear is fine everyone does that around the house, but walking around the house full naked no you shouldn’t be doing that in front of yours kids
Lol people get crazy about naked. It’s all good just live your life however it works for you
Im sorry. Did i read the question wrong? These are your kids you gave birth to? If they are your kids then I am sure you know what is ok and what isnt with your kids. Never ever let anyone tell you how to act or how to parent YOUR kids. They are yours not anyone elses. Never mind the haters and the wanna be life coaches out there. hell they made it to 17 and 18 shit you must have done something right!!! BE YOU LIVE LIFE AND LET THE REST GO!!!
I don’t see an issue at all if your covered with towel. I remember even as a teen barging in the bathroom to talk to my mom while she was taking a bath my brother did to. On hot summer days my mom would sit around the house in her underwear and bra we all did but we had no ac either. I never myself viewed it as weird. . My son is only 3 and as a single parent he is with me when I change when I bathe unless I get lucky and he is sleeping, heck I can’t use the bathroom without him wanting to hang out. But I’ve never felt being naked connected to anything sexual.
If it’s not sexualized why is it a problem? Human bodies are normal.
My kids have never given nakedness a thought, I have zero privacy🤣. They will walk straight in if I’m using the bathroom, whatever.
You are their mom. No one should sexualize that.
Okay, so I started trying to read some of these comments and decided the mental health disorders are running strong with this one:joy: If you want to call child services on me just let me know ahead of time so I can prepare, I want to make sure my dishes are done and the trash is taken out:person_facepalming: I have 6 kids, 1 is an 18 year old boy and I have raised my 4 year grandson since birth almost. My youngest is a 13 year old girl. Even if I shut the door to take a shit or shower, one of them are coming in, it’s a given. I am never exposed in front of boyfriends/girlfriends, but this is my house and I pay the bills. I’ve learned because having kids means sacrificing privacy, to not give af if my kids see me naked because it obviously doesn’t faze them one fkn bit, so why should it faze me:person_shrugging: I don’t just walk around my house exposed, it’s only in the bathroom, but if I have the choice because I’m so hot natured, I leave the door open. I’m not revealing in anyway outside my home, no cleavage, no shorts, nothing(personal preference, not a judgment). My kids in my 27 years of being a parent have never told me they were uncomfortable, and if they did I would respect it. Just because they see me naked doesn’t mean we engage in sexually explicit and inappropriate behavior, it just means I like to be naked before and during a shower, I don’t like to take a shit with my pants up, and my kids don’t give af because for some reason when I’m shitting and showering that’s when their most important questions come to mind and can’t wait until I’m done! They are the same way with their kids, who are all basically toddlers except one, and they don’t give af either because if any of us did, we’d never be able to shit or shower:100: Now once they reached a certain age, they didn’t want me to walk in on them in the bathroom, unless of course it was an emergency, which recently just happened with my 13 year old daughter when she slipped in the shower, but I’m their mom, not their kid. It’s about the comfort zone of the children, not the adults that sexualize everything in today’s society, households and among family’s. There are kids that are literally in therapy because outside influences have made them believe that generations of habits handed down to decedents that were never inappropriate, and shouldn’t be considered as such, now are because mentally disturbed groups or individuals are telling them it is.
Disturbed Source: Has your mom or dad touched your genitals?
Kid: No
Disturbed Source: Has your mom or dad asked you to perform sexual acts on them or to allow them to perform such acts on you?
Kid: No
Disturbed Person: Have you ever seen your parents engage in inappropriate sexual acts with your siblings or any other children?
Kid: No
Disturbed Person: Have you ever seen one of your parents naked?
Kid: Well yeah, but what kid hasn’t?
Disturbed Person: OH NO, that’s inappropriate sexual abuse and we have to call cps and have you removed, you should never see your parents naked! Oh, and if they’ve ever taken a picture of you while bathing as a baby we need that too because that’s child pornography, it doesn’t matter if it was your first bath and they wanted it for your baby book!
I don’t walk in or push my way in on my kids, they do it to me, and have been since they could walk, if you try to claim your kids never have, I’d have to call you a liar!
I grew up in a very open environment. My parents were hippies , nothing hinkey happened. I never saw it as weird, never sexualized …it was just a body. Some homes are more open then others. It’s your home and your family.
Kristi Schellman lol
You’re not naked, you have a towel on. I would say its inappropriate if you were completely nude in front of them but being in a towel after a shower in your own room isnt a big deal at all
I dont think it’s so much about what you feel is inappropriate… its more on how they feel. I, as a mother… don’t think twice about nursing my 9 month old son in front of my 11 yr old son. But he is getting to the age of not wanting to see me like that and feeling uncomfortable in those situations. So now HE needs to be more mindful of my privacy. As in… if I’m in the bathroom taking a bath, he doesn’t barge in to use the bathroom anymore. Or if I’m in my room getting dressed… or nursing his brother, he will knock first. I definitely understand both sides… where as a mother, we don’t see anything wrong because we don’t sexualize these things with OUR CHILDREN but as a child, he may no longer be comfortable seeing his mother naked
It’s not their children, it’s not their problem
As long as it doesn’t start making you or your boys uncomfortable, I don’t see an issue with it.
No, its not inappropriate. They need to mind their business.
Imo its inappropriate the second any one of your kids says it is. If the kids have an issue, then you need to put more clothes on and practice closing the door. Sounds like the boys aren’t bothered so nobody else should be.
If they don’t want to see it and u have the door closed they will soon learn to knock lol
I walk through my house in my towel. How is this any different than the revealing bathing suits people wear that doesn’t cover anything? I think if you don’t have a problem and they are not uncomfortable then other people need to get their nose our of your business.
It would only be wired if your stark naked. A bathing suits fine, so what’s wrong with a towel
You’re in your room… So it’s not like you are walking around naked… Right? They walk in they haven’t learned the knock part yet huh?
If you’re wrapped in a towel I don’t see the issue, if you’re completely nude…EW!
I find it a bit odd in my opinion.
It NEVER FAILED. Everytime I went to the bathroom here comes one of my boys. I would holler “ Privacy” and all I heard as they walked in and sat on the tub as I was on the toilet …. But mom I need to talk to you a min!!!It seems they always looked me in the eye. Just funny for a 22 yr old to just walk in. Just how we lived:roll_eyes:
Ok a 17 and 18 year old seeing their own mother wonder around naked in the house. They must be dead inside if that doesn’t make them extremely uncomfortable. Sexual or not. They are almost grown men. What’s wrong with you.
Ashley Nicole Davis I remember us talking about this at one point. These comments are our convo…
I have four kids, two of them are comfortable around me in a towel after a shower and two aren’t. They know what I’m doing and act accordingly. It doesn’t bother me any. And, it isn’t weird or sexualized
Whether they say anything or not I would think they would find it extremely embarrassing.
If you aren’t naked it’s not a problem. A towel is not naked.
Are you naked or wrapped in a towel?? Big difference
Yep definitely wrong.
I see no issue. I walk naked infront my kids… my son is 20… I don’t hide anything… if I fall sick is them that have to bathe me… I change of and my 5 yr old will ask mom why is their blood are u sick… and I explained to him.
The kids not even worrying with u… stop making everything an issue. Nobody cyah tell me it’s wrong . Dats their opinion not mine
Same here! Skin is skin and there is nothing sexual or inappropriate in what you are doing. Mine are both out of home now but if they visit they will sit in the bathroom while I have a shower and talk to me. They are both respectful young males.
What the what I’m sorry but no this is not ok at all
Yes have some repect
My hubby would say a big fat nooooo dont do that! My sons agree!
Good on you for normalizing bodies. People need to stop sexualizing everything. It’s weird.
Ok, to me it sounds more like you are in a towel, and getting dressed in your room. It don’t sound like you are walking around the house buck naked
Naked and wrapped in a towel are two different things. If you’re wandering around totally nude, that would be weird. But if you’re in a towel I don’t see an issue. Especially if you’re in your own room, just shut the door.
As long as your sons don’t feel uncomfortable then why would it be inappropriate to wrap up in a towel?
No people need to mind their own business lol
I always sit in my towel and if its in my bedroom then they should learn some privacy and not come in Yall weird for thinking she has to change quickly with children in the house. They need to learn boundaries then and stay out of her room when shes getting ready or out the shower
I have a 2 yr and a 10 yr old, Honestly I never been naked around my two boys they seen me in my bra and underwear getting into my clothes or getting my clothes from the dryer in the morning. When we are all getting ready and in a rush. don’t think that’s inappropriate but completely naked I don’t want them to see like that. If I want to sleep in my bed naked or be naked I would do that in the comfort of own room in private where they won’t be around. Who wants to see an older women naked I remember seeing my mom naked and it was awkward to be in view of her like that. Js
Your teaching your boys to mind their own business. Good on you mama. Plus their are nudists who keep to the lifestyle
If your in a towel and your stuff isn’t hanging out it’s 100 percent no an issue I know for sure if my kids are 17 and 18 and they have a problem with it all tell them to look away or get their own place lmao I mean obviously not while company is over but if it’s in your room absolutely stand your ground
Well first your post says naked, yet you are saying in a towel, so in a towel is ok naked id say NO
Growing up in my house we only had one bathroom and sometimes me, my brother, and my mama all three had to be in there at once. Sometimes one would be in the shower, one using the toilet, one using the sink. We did what we had to do to make it work. My mama would go around the house in her shirt and underwear and I would too. My brother would sometimes just wear boxers and no shirt. My mama’s been around both me and my brother in her towel we we thought nothing of it. She was our mama and there wasn’t anything sexualized about it.
What’s taboo for some might be normal in other households.
My husband’s family was the complete opposite.
But it’s ok to breastfeed in public in front of total strangers…breast being fully exposed…
I think if the header were removed and everyone understood you are in a towel, that very few, if any people would think it’s wrong. It’s basically a sleeveless dress. Nothing wrong with that!
I walk from the shower to the bedroom in a towel but I don’t consider that walking around naked because I’m covered in a towel. If your walking around totally nude, uncovered, that’s inappropriate to me. Just because you gave birth to your sons doesn’t mean they want you walking around naked in their face.
SHES SITTING IN HER ROOM WRAPPED IN A TOWEL!!
SHES NOT SAYING SHE WALKS AROUND NUDE IN FRONT OF THEM.
If y’all would READ THE ACTUAL POST you wouldn’t react in a stupid FUCKING WAY .
Dear Jesus, let this woman live.
I don’t walk around in front of my boys naked, but Im ok pantless with a shirt on. If that’s what you guys are comfortable with and your boys raise no objections or embarrassments, then why not. You do you.
No issue at all!!! My cousin don’t care who is in her house, it’s her house… and she will walk around buck naked!!! Lol. Your house, your kids, your choice!
I mean, if they had bumped into you once or twice in your towel, that’s one thing, embarrassing but still not so bad.
But why do you feel like you wanna chill with your towel on in the presence of your kids?
Do you have your room?
If you want to chill in your towel, stay there!! If you want to mingle with your kids, put some clothes on yourself!!
TF!?
Like you said you birthed them and it’s not like your naked in a sexual type of way… You shower like everyone else … naked lol. I don’t see an issue. My son is 5 and I’ll walk around in a t-shirt and my underwear (not a thong either) and sometimes walk from my bedroom in my bra as I get ready too. If it’s something normal to you then don’t listen to others. We all raise our kids differently. Honestly boys that age seeing their mom makes starts to get gross lmao like plus it’s your house they can go in their room lol
I m pretty sure it would be better to ask this qst a psychologist. Not good idea and nothing to do with them paying attention, you are mom. But i m sure it can affect something psychological
The amount of people sexualizing the situation is disgusting and probably have their own issues they’re not willing to address Some of y’all have never left the United States or seen/experienced other cultures.
Y’all are trippin! She is NOT NAKED!!! She’s sitting on her bed, in her room, in a towel for Christ’s sake🙄
Sheeesh so um how many people see their parents in bathing suits? Same sort of thing as bras and undies, and how many people know about nudists whom don’t do anything clothed including raising their young.
People have issues with other people’s parenting also people like to judge.
Talk to your kids!
Each family is different. If this is how your family is, that’s ok. Don’t let someone who isn’t as open with their family demean how you are with yours.
I’m the same way but mines a girl n she’s 4 so idk but I feel to be open and mature is best it keeps them informed and the secrets make them more curious and causes sheltering which can mentally hurt them in the long run or can cause too much dark curiosity because that’s how secrets work
Teach kids to be comfortable in their home. Home is supposed to be a safe space who cares about the human body
I could care less what amount of clothing anyone wears in their own home
If you’re comfortable and your kids are comfortable than it shouldn’t matter, the issue is the perverts trying to sexualize it
My only question is who is this "someone x that had a fit?
Were you undressed around them or did one of you boys complain to them?
TOO MANY KAREN’S UP IN HERE!!! Take the stick out of your & move along:rofl:
No. I would not walk naked in front of any male that is not my hubby. But that’s just me.
If you have a towel around you, I don’t see a problem with it. My oldest son is 12 and still thinks nothing of walking in the bathroom if I’m in the tub to ask me a question. My 10 year old son is uncomfortable with it and I respect his modesty but a towel wrapped around you is like having a robe on…they can’t see anything.
Mine are 18(boy) 15(girl) 12(boy) 11(boy) 7(girl) 6(girl) and almost 1(boy)
Keep in mind… They were all there to witness the baby and the 6yo being born. Full on view…
My 11 year old is the ONLY one who will turn around and walk out the room if im in the shower or Gettin dressed or any of the above… Its normal for us…
I mean, I think if you have a towel on it’s totally fine. You see less body parts covered in a towel than you would in a swim suit. I don’t think that’s weird at all.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that mama! You do you, people who throw a fit about that are uncomfortable with themselves not you!
I think other people should mind their own bussineness over what goes on in your house…but i think you should ask your sons if it makes them uncomfortable if the answer is no then no issue answer is yes buy a robe and install a hook in your bathroom.
It’s only weird if you make it weird.
If you’re there in a towel, nothing is showing…what’s the problem. Sitting there full naked and your sons are there, I would say that’s not cool. But hey it’s a towel. More is seen in bra and undies or bikinis.
I mean but why be naked lol like it’s not your only option and if your asking you must have a conscious
Americans have to over sexualize everything…being naked isn’t a crime in your own house & shouldn’t be this big of a deal. We all have nipples… get over it!!
In a towel?!?
You’re fine. That somebody sounds sketch though.
In a towel? No. Naked? Yes.
Wow alot of different opinions. I think if your in a common living space its an issue. But in your bedroom getting dressed? Hey, thats your private space do what you want. Your mom. Maybe one good thing your teaching them is that women’s bodys are full of imperfections. And that’s ok because maybe down the road they won’t pass up a really great girl with a perfectly but imperfect body😊
Your boys are of age to tell you if they are uncomfortable with it. Why does nudity have to equal sexuality? You even have a towel on for crying out loud which far more than a bikini…
As long as you’re not naked around their friends then I don’t see an issue at all.
Stop sexualizing the naked body!
If you’re in your room, that’s fine. The moment you start walking around the living room, playing jenga and making dinner naked, you’re running into a funky area that is inappropriate.
I prefer to practice modesty.
That is my choice.
Two of mine do not
Each to their own. And every household is different.
If everyone is comfortable. Do as you wish
If you are in a towel & in your bedroom just shut the door
I have no idea why Americans need to sexualize a nudity but nudity is not inherently sexual.
My kids have never seen me naked, that’s weird as fuck. I have been in a towel around them and I can count on my hand with that but naked? Never.
I think some of you need to read the dictionary or do some research. Because this is not to do with sexualization
Angela Smith if she is in her room behind closed door I don’t even see sitting on the bed naked while they are home. They are 17 & 18 surely they know how to knock first. My kids are 3 and 5 and they knock and wait for a response before they even attempt to open the door
…… your in a towel your not naked…. Now if you going around your house w no clothes on that’s weird especially w kids that age.
