You are their mother. You are in a towel. For gods sake, if they get uncomfortable, they’ll tell you. People sexualize shit too much nowadays and it’s WEIRD
My kids see me walk around naked sometimes and think nothing of it! I guess because I’ve always done it. I don’t see anything wrong with it tbh
My 17yr old son feels awkward if I sit there in a towel…so I put a robe on…yet my 11yr old daughter comes and tells me her life story while I shower😂
Your fine !!! They need to chill
So you wear a towel? That’s not naked. But if you saying no towel then it is slightly werid. They are way to old to still see you naked. Just my opinion. It REALLY bothered me that my mother did that for so long. I didn’t say anything but I hated it. And even if she had asked I would’ve said it’s fine but I felt really uncomfortable. Just awesome no adult and almost adult child wants to see their mama naked. Like I said though a towel is not naked at all… nothing wrong with that at all!! Your covered.
Lady i think you already know the answer to your question, stop fishing
I was born naked ima enjoy being naked. Lmao (jokes) but it’s your home mama do as you please.
My two boys have seen getting in the shower and I’m going to say using the restroom. I think it may have traumatized them for a few minutes but they both have turned out to be good men.
If you were completely nude i would see a problem with it being that your boys are that old but to each there own. But being in a towel i see nothing wrong with you are covered.
Kids are old enough to say if they not comfortable. And in a towel and being completely nude are two very different things I struggle with my 11 yr old to get out of my room when I come out the shower in a towel and ask him to get out so i can change and he says im not looking at you im facing the wall * followed by if its cuz of your tummy stretch marks i know its cuz of me you dnt need to feel bad about it mom* smh
I do that in my robe… what’s the difference?…
People are weird. If your sons cared, they’d tell you themselves. They dont need others opinions defending them lol
What the f* is wrong with you ? Those boys don’t need to see that.
Don’t ask strangers, ask your kids how they feel. If your teenage sons have no issues with you being naked around them then that’s fine since every family is different. I would be weirded out and would feel awkward if my dad would be walking around naked.
No I would not ,they are teenager boys don’t need to see me nude
I see nothing wrong with being in a towel. I get out of the shower (downstairs) and go to my bedroom (upstairs) in a towel. It’s not like your buck ass naked walking around. BUT keep in mind, to someone else this might be weird because of how they grew up or were raised.
I used too walk around naked like if I had to make a bottle or get something for kids first thing when I got up or when getting out of the shower.
When my son hit 7 he told me mum I’m grown up now I think you better put some clothes on, so I did and stayed fairly modest thereafter. It doesn’t have to be a big deal don’t sexualised nakedness but listen to what your kids tell you, if they get uncomfortable then change your ways
Only my daughter will be around me when I’m in a towel or naked (whether I like it or not she’s not letting anything stop her from talking to me when she wants to) not my sons… I raised them that way because if the situation happened with another adult or someone else’s mom that would definitely not be ok in my opinion but to each their own. No judgment what people do with their own kids is their prerogative. My boys actually act like their gonna go blind if they almost open a door while myself or my daughter aren’t dressed. Lol
You’re not naked if you have a towel on…so….
I don’t think it’s a big deal, you don’t sexualize them, they don’t sexualize you, it’s just a body, it’s just nudity, it’s probably good for them to see a normal female body in a non-sexual way.
Please dont be NAKED naked infront of them… unless you can pay for lots therapy later but I see nothing wrong with a towel. Girl I liveeeee in my towel after a shower. its gonna atleast be an hour til I have actual clothes on
I don’t think it’s weird at all. Naked is natural.
Am I missing something?? You sit in your towel on your bed in your room? I mean that’s not you just walking around in the nude. I don’t see the problem.
Tell them to get the hell over it plain and simple. We are their mother end of story. They don’t like it oh well. No need to explain or worry about it.
If you got a towel on you’re not naked. Now if you got your lady bits out for all to see, then yes that’s weird
It’s only uncomfortable if it’s made uncomfortable.
I dont think there is anything wrong with being in a towel, now if your walking around full on naked that might get uncomfortable
Like you said you are in a towel not just walking around naked. My 17yr old son sees me walking around in my bra and underwear when I’m running back and forth from my room to the bathroom when I am getting ready for work.
Why is being naked a problem.
It’s absolutely wrong, they aren’t toddlers. And for those saying they would speak up if it was a problem… How do they know that. My kids sure wouldn’t speak up, due to fear of embarrassment.
You’re their mother, not their girlfriend or wife.
Why are people so uncomfortable with normal things? Why sexualise a mother? It’s only weird because society said it’s weird now of your boys voiced concerns or they are uncomfortable or if this were inappropriate then yes, it would be weird and wrong but by the sounds of this it isn’t
You’re not even naked, you have a towel on. I do that all the time
If you’ve always done it and they aren’t uncomfortable then I don’t see an issue
I walk around in my towel to nothin wrong with it
Nudity is an interesting subject. When I was a nanny in Europe, i was surprised by the difference of comfort with the human body and nudity, compared to in the US.
The families I stayed with were more comfortable with being naked in front of each other (respectfully, of course, such as changing clothes in front of each other or as mentioned by the OP, getting out of the shower and crossing the room to grab a towel).
The general public was more accepting of the human body and being around each other and not viewing it as sexual (co-Ed changing rooms at swimming pools or bathrooms. Not to mention tv commercials and magazines).
It took some getting use to but I liked it and I like the idea of being ok with nudity and your body. I do agree that if the child or person you are around mentions they are uncomfortable or ask for a preference of modesty, that should be respected.
My son is 10 and he’s seen me naked so many times it’s natural to him. He don’t see anything wrong with it because I’m his mom.
If you have a towel wrapped around you that’s ok, if you aren’t covered up, that’s disgusting. Just my opinion.
Nothung qrong with it there are people who live like a nudest i think your fine my husband and I both walk around my 6 yr old naked and she does too sometimes it’s fine our bodies are normal should let people shame you into thinking other wise just because they don’t think it’s ok doesnt mean it’s wrong do what you wanna do
They are your sons. You normalized a human body. It’s a mindset. They are obviously well adjusted. Nothing nasty about a human body unless you are taught that it is
I have 3 daughter and 3 sons. Ages 22 to 5. My daughters I will change in front of or help with bras or whatever. My sons I might do a t shirt and panties through the house at night or in morning. Thats it. Except my youngest. He doesnt care and wants me when he wants me. I could be showering… He needs momma… In he comes. Hes 5 and a mommas boy through and through. But i of course say turn around let me get out. I think society over sexualized EVERYTHING though. Do what works for your house
My 4 year old daughter & 10 year old sister are so used to me being naked that it’s no big thing for them. Now my mom does find it a little weird but she says it’s because she grew up where she couldn’t even wear shorts because my grandma would tell her to cover up because of her brothers & sad. If you’ve always done it I see no issue with it. they don’t see you with lustful eyes they’re your kids.
naked and in a towel is different lol
Yes that’s wrong! Nasty!
My grown 22 year old son has seen me naked I don’t see what the problem is. He is my son not my man. Well I guess there are alot of weirdos out there having sex with their son smh
I believe it’s great. If we didn’t sexual the body so much then no one would have a problem with it. Teaching our children that our bodies aren’t sexual objects can actually save them in abuse situations.
You shouldn’t just sit naked in front of them no… just like they shouldn’t be naked in front of you. Does your man just stand naked in front of them too?
I sit exactly like that around my 20-22 year old brothers. I see nothing wrong
My nephew is 4 and I shower with him, and it’s normal for him
Those are her children! It’s not like they’re sexualize her, stop projecting your own issues off on this mom
I raised 3 kids on my own (1 boy 2 girls) and I always walked around in a towel and sometimes naked and I used the bathroom with the door open often! I left my bedroom door open and my bathroom door open all the time for my kids! There was no sexual relationship between us at all so it was not awkward!! People need to stop sexualizing parent and child relationships!
Being naked is normal! My kids have always walked in and had full conversations with me during my shower. They don’t care and don’t think anything of it. Now when they see nudity, they don’t make a big deal out of it. It’s so normal!
Me and my little brother are 18 and 26 we still Chang in font of each other are commit to people when they say it’s odd is what is the difference between underwear and bras then bathing suit I don’t think it’s odd at all but I come from a very open family…. And I would remind the person that told you that their are some family that are nude all time around each other
Why bring it up to anyone in the first place ?? Your at home doing your family thing… ain’t no ones business. I got 2 sons so I know Damm well what it’s like to get dressed… sometimes I got to run down stairs to get a towel… or what ever…but that’s no one business… no one or these boys pay the bills. Get dressed and get my shit where ever it is… naked or not naked
My mom always did this and None of us kids paid her any attention she still with still in her towel and get ready.
Americans are so prudish. Its nudity. Its Not sexualized. Two very different things
It’s definitely inappropriate
Why do people always feel the need to sexualise nudity. Being naked is normal and natural.
I can tell you from first hand experience that the human body is natural and it’s only wrong if your intentions are wrong.
Your fine your not strutting your stuff on front of your kids. Your kids are old enough to open their mouths if they don’t like it but of your in your own room I don’t even understand the problem. Your just normalizing the human body.
Personally you should ask your boys how they feel about the situation. It’s really no one else’s place to judge you on what you do behind closed doors either.
Don’t make it awkward for them… like nude …nude? Cuz being in a towel is not nude , you show more in a swimsuit… I have a 24 yr old son, and a 27 yr old son…a towel is a robe without sleeves… it’s no big deal…I however would never let them see my ass naked…( they are adults, and no longer live at home) I also have a 15 yr daughter and a 7 yr old daughter… I’ll be in my bra , and a towel wrapped around my bottom half … again just like a swimsuit
I dont see nothing wrong with this. I guess everyone has a different type of household but my kids are young but see me naked all the time. They come in when I’m showering, changing using the bathroom and me and brother did the same with my mom as well she would be getting dressed or in the shower and we’d walk right in if we needed to ask her something still do to this day
What the fuck, don’t worry about it, you are in a towel and if your boys are used to it, than who cares. It’s be strange to stop just because someone’s quick to sexualise something so normal, weirdos
Wheres Dr. Phil? Lol
Because I am their mother I don’t think as they are older I should be nude. I showered with them up until age 3 but after that, if they saw me nude unintentionally I didn’t make an issue .
It’s only weird if you make it weird. A human body is just that… a human body. Everyone looks different, different shapes and sizes. By doing this I believe it’s setting for a healthy body image and not setting expectations on what the ‘ideal body’ should like. It’s natural. If they were to tell you it made them uncomfortable, then I would clearly stop.
If they see you in a towel or bra and underwear i dont see a problem. Everyone views things differently personally being butt naked infront of your older children is kinda weird.
If you have a towel on, that’s not naked.
To each his own. I personally would not be comfortable around my sons at that age. Since they were able to tell the difference between males and females I stopped.
I have 3 boys ( now men ) I personally wouldn’t want to see my son’s in the nude and Vice-versa
Going from the bathroom to your bedroom is fine in a towel but you should close your door once in your bedroom to get dressed and they shouldn’t just come in once that door is close it’s called respecting each other’s privacy
Have my kid’s ever seen me naked I don’t know because nothing was ever said to me except the time I was put into reduced coma and my youngest son said he seen things he never wants to see again
Maybe your kids have a issue with it but just never said anything about it because of being embarrassed
I would have a talk with them about the whole thing if I was you personally
Communication is key word without that then nobody knows what the other person is thinking
How your friend found out I have no clue But she should keep her opinion to herself if you ask me because it’s a family thing to discuss not for everyone else to be involved in
So, someone threw a fit because you walk from a bathroom wrapped in a towel so you can get dressed in a room that’s not filled with humidity?
I do the same my boys are 10 and 12. Single mom.
Are you sitting in your room in towel when your boys come in? I see nothing wrong with that
Absolutely nothing wrong with crossing rooms in a towel. Being in your room in a towel. Being wherever with a towel!!
I’m 35 and my mom has done this since I was born. There is still zero shame in walking in on her in the bathroom. She sat on her bed in a towel around my brother too, and if it was weird then my brother would stay away and not look. It’s only weird if y’all make it weird
I find it would be inappropriate once they feel uncomfortable
I don’t see an issue. I bet your boys have more damn respect for a woman and their bodies then other boys their age. I have girls, 14 and 26 and nakedness has never been an issue in our house. No need to make everything so taboo. Stop sexualizing the human body and a lot of problems will no longer exists. I applaud you mamma:clap:
Wooooow. How does this even need to be a question??? once your kids can distinguish body differences the being naked around them needs to stop.
You’re in a towel comfortable in your home, you’re fine!
Nothing wrong with it, it was the same in my house xx
Wait if there’s a towel on it’s all good but if you’re naked it is so messed up so please clarify lol
It’s inappropriate. Mother, father, children, teenagers…
Appropriately clothe yourself in the presence of others. You wanna strut around naked in your room behind a closed door in private that’s your business but leaving doors wide open with a towel leisurely getting dressed or in the process, should be done behind a closed door in privacy. What’s the point in NOT closing your door…? Odd.
Huge difference wearing a towel in your bedroom and getting ready for work versus strolling around your house around 17 & 18 year old boys naked.
The first is fine. If they don’t want to see you naked, they should stay out of your room while you’re dressing.
If you’re naked all over the house, I personally find that super inappropriate.
I continue about my biz since my grandson was born hes 6 now and im sure he will continue to see me out of the shower getting dressed the rest of his life if it bugs him he will stay out of the way and come back when i have my bra and underwear on but bodies are bodies
People are so crazy it’s family, my nana can’t pee without one kid and a few grandkids in the bathroom bugging about anything and everything. Why do people have to sexualize everything.
I don’t see anything wrong with it. Towel or not. There’s tribes out there where it’s normal. And many people don’t look at them like it’s wrong.
As long as they’re comfortable with it, I don’t see the problem.
Man, just do what’s comfortable. My family has always been super open so like, mom would walk out in a bra pretty regularly and we’d just have conversations like that.
It’s only inappropriate if
A) you make it inappropriate
B ) they’re uncomfortable but you do it anyway
It’s not inappropriate at all
It’s normal it’s family life
ignore the silly comments
Most boys don’t want to see their mother naked
I see nothing wrong with it. My son is 16 and if he happens upon me he just keeps eye contact. Nothing weird at all. Only weird if u make it weird or let others make u feel bas for it.
This is a great way to teach boys to grow into men who don’t sexualize women’s bodies. It’s only inappropriate if you make it inappropriate. Other’s have no right to judge you for how you raise your children, if you are not harming them in any way.
Decentize woman’s bodies!! This is what it should be like!! Our bodies are NOT evil!
It’s puritanical crap that we were taught in the US. I think it depends on the level of comfort the adults have with nudity. If they aren’t comfortable that gets transmitted to the kids around age four, and trouble can ensue. But if there’s plenty of comfort I see no reason for concern.
Naked or in a towel? I think its important to set healthy boundaries about nudity and privacy with and for children well before their teen years. I just dont think we live in a society that should normalize nudity around children or with children because frankly there are too many child abusers in the world. Nothing wrong with setting healthy boundaries. In regards to naked around teenage sons I recommend reading some Freud writings and theories which are very interesting.
I question if this is really a serious post.
People need to mind their effing business! People that find this inappropriate are either perverts or have some deep seeded issues imo.
What disgusts me more than anything is other women in the comments sexualizing your body! There is nothing wrong with being naked in your own house. If your children were openly expressing discomfort then it would be disrespectful towards them to continue, but it sounds to me like you have taught your children correctly by not sexualizing the nude body. It is only inappropriate if they’re uncomfortable and you continue or if you make it inappropriate. Screw what everyone else thinks. So many people now are raising their children to not look at nudity as taboo and to not sexualize any person no matter their gender. People can either get with the new ways or they will die in the old ways and sadly pass their disgusting bodily sexualization onto their own children.
If ur in a towel in ur bedroom, that’s not naked. But your titties and cooch hanging out while u walk in the living room, that’s a problem. Tell ppl to mind their business.
