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

My son is 3… I jump out of the shower, and I suck at time management, so he sees my nakedness ALL the time… asks why I look different sometimes… but he is still young, i teach him boys and girls look different naked, and teach him the proper names for body parts. I will ALWAYS get dressed anywhere in my house, and as long as he lives in MY House , there will be naked lady parts… if it embarrassing to him, then move out, or close your door until Mama is done. This is only weird if you make it into something weird…

My two boys pay no attention when they walk into my room and accidently see me or I walk around in a towel

Who are we to judge her? In Europe women and men go naked in public. Just because it makes you uncomfortable doesn’t mean it is wrong or immoral.

My mom still walks around my butt ass naked!!! Who cares!!! They are your kids and its not like you are walking around completely naked. I wouldn’t let this bother you.

A towel around you and stark arse naked are two different things. I put a towel around me and am in front of my kids but quickly go to my room with the door closed for privacy.

I don’t see the issue I’m naked around my girls but they are very young . I don’t think I’d personally walk around naked with older boy children but that’s just me. I believe when a kid gets a certain age if they are uncomfortable that should completely be taken into considered and stop doing it . They’ve now had their say so I would say you have to accept it x

I have a 23,17,14,13,12yo sons they have no damn issue with walking into the bathroom while I’m pooping, showering getting dressed nada. Someone once said something bc my four yowould shower with me Dr said tell them stfu if the kids are uncomfortable they’ll stop. Well here we are my 23 yo still walks in .

If you’re in a towel its not a big deal but being naked around them is a whole other story.

Not an issue. And I dated someone who made the biggest deal Bout this. This man wouldn’t let his two boys see him without a shirt on no exaggeration. They never saw him nude nor in his underwear… these same boys are THE MOST MANNISH PERVERTED BOYS I HAVE EVER known. They have been caught in questionable situations multiple times, and one time I caught them peeping under the bathroom door at someone. I think being naked around your children is absolutely natural as long as there are boundaries. For instance now that my boys are teens I ask them to excuse themselves when about to drop the towel. There older sister is comfortable as well being naked around them and they pay her no mind. I think when you associate nudity with sex you are setting your children up for failure

I try and limit how much my son sees me naked now (he is almoast 6) but, at the end of the day, it’s only weird if you make it weird :woman_shrugging: I go to the bathroom with the door open sometimes, I was really sick and had leg cramps once and had my son bring me a banana while I was in the tub.

On the flip side of that I do explain that if I or someone is in the bathroom with the door shut you don’t bother them. And I am teaching privacy.

It isn’t weird until someone makes it weird. Your kids may need to wipe your butt for you someday, so I suggest not making it a bad thing to see your parents change, or in the bathroom now.

My husband and I walk around our house in a towel. However, when we get dressed it’s behind closed doors. As well as my kids. They are allowed to walk around in a towel but get dressed in private.
We are never completely nude in front of our kids and they’re never nude in front of us. Only naked one in the family is our toddler :joy::woman_facepalming:t4:

In a towel fine, without a towel, absolutely not fine. I would not want my 22, or 19yr old sons seeing me naked, and I sure as hell don’t want my 9yr old seeing her dad naked. Same difference, just not ok unless privates are covered. We teach our kids that private places are private for a reason.

I mean I have an 8 and 4 yr old girl, and I’ve done that quite alot myself. My 4 yr old showers with me, I also do my best to counter by teaching modesty too and making sure they know I’m mama, and they should never see anyone else naked but I want them to know as they grow not to be ashamed of their bodies and when their in high school they won’t feel embarrassed changing in front of other girls. Not a boy mom, but to me I see no problem with it asking as long your not completely flaunting being totally naked in front of them, a towel is no big deal!!

I had a mother who talked to me about all her sexual experiences at a very young (was eventually raised by my grandmother rest of my life) now that was more traumatizing then ever seeing her naked or wrapped in a towel… she was a mom of 3 girls so that was never an issue around us girls byt just her non needed too adult convos were.

Honestly to each their own, not my monkeys :monkey: nor my circus :circus_tent:

If it’s been normalized since they were born it’s not an issue IMO. In the scenario you described, you’re not naked so def a non issue.

Its what you and your family choose. As a mother or father who has been naked around your kids for a good majority of their young lives. I don’t think thats “weird” I think its important my son and my daughter have realistic expectations of bodies and learn to be respectful of them as well. People need to mind their own business. If your sons don’t think its weird and you don’t think its weird and thats the openess you have in your house then thats what it is. You’re their mom. My dad was always in his underwear we all usually had the bathroom door open. Its between you and your kids

The way you worded your question is VERY confusing. Are you completely naked around them at all or are you fully covered by a towel? If your privates or boobs aren’t actually showing at all and they pay no attention then that’s fine and normal, but if you take the towel off around them at all then I think that’s not appropriate considering they are basically grown men. At 17 & 18 they definitely shouldn’t be seeing you naked at all. When they are toddlers it’s understandable but they are way older now.

Are you naked or in a towel? I feel like yes it is wrong to be naked in front of your boys. I personally would feel disgusted if my dad walked around naked in front of me. No body wants to see or is comfortable around their parents when they are naked. Now if you are in a towel I feel like it’s slightly more appropriate but there is a time limit to this. You can’t sit in the common areas in your towel and watch netflix. Again, this is just my personal opinion based on my feelings growing up with my parents and now with my own new family.

I understand you being comfortable because those were your little boys that you wiped their butts and maybe even used your body to feed them but they have grown and now it’s not appropriate to be nude around them.

I walk around in just my knickers all the time, my kids are 17,16 & 15. The eldest and youngest being boys. They don’t bat an eye. I’m not ashamed of my body, why should they feel embarrassed by a naked body either. I think it promotes body confidence rather than something that should be hidden. It sure helps on holidays with women walking along the beach in a thong and nothing else.

Walking from the bathroom to your room in a towel doesn’t seem like a big deal to me? I’m sure they have seen you in a bathing suit which is more revealing. It’s not like you’re naked. Plus, I feel like at those ages they definitely aren’t looking at you in any type of weird way. If anything, they’re thinking “ew that’s mom”. Lol

But that’s my opinion.

Being in a towel after your shower is inappropriate? Doesn’t seem terribly inappropriate to me. It’s not like you’re walking around butt naked exposing yourself to them. If they’ve seen you in a bikini, or bathing suit at all, seeing you in a towel isn’t much different in my opinion!

Americans are EXTREMELY prude when it comes to nudity. My (hippy) parents were nudists when I was little… I’ve seen them and a TON of other adults naked in a non sexual way as a kid. As an adult, I sleep naked. Do my kids walk in while I’m asleep sometimes? Yeah. My teenaged son knows to knock bc he doesn’t want to see me naked, and I don’t walk around naked so he doesn’t have to see stuff he doesn’t want to. He’s seen me breastfeeding all three of his younger siblings though…and he was never squeamish about it bc he knows the difference between nature and the sexualization of breasts. :woman_shrugging: I would assume it’s the same as them seeing her in a towel.

Wrapped in a towel is totally fine…butt naked not fine with boys that age… with girls its different… especially of it has been that way their whole lives

I guess it depends on the situation. I do agree that one day our children might have to wipe our butts on day. If wrapped in a towel I don’t see anything wrong with it however I wouldn’t be naked walking through the house all day.

My kids are 13, 9 and 8 and I’ll walk around in a towel after a shower. They could care less. They’ve seen me in my bra and underwear too. It’s not like you’re walking around naked with nothing on. People just like to find things to bitch about :woman_shrugging:t2:

I do the same but I have teen girls. They have their privacy but they talk with me while make or in a towel. How do you sons feel about it. Is the main question

Teaching modestly is also a parents job. Can’t teach it if you dont practice it

Do what makes sense to YOUR family. It doesn’t sound like there is abuse going on. You’re sons don’t even pay attention so clearly they have been used to this since birth. What’s the big deal about a nude body. It’s probably good they seen a woman’s real normal nude body for one they won’t be tripping over themselves to see one vs boys who’s never seen one. Second are you uncomfortable with it? If not who gives a fuck what someone else thinks. I’ve always felt if your not abusing or hurting you or others then live they way you feel is right for you. We’re all going to die. Don’t spend too much time on what someone (that may not be that important to you or worth worrying about) thinks about YOUR life. :kissing_heart::heart: Parenting is hard enough. I’m completely at ease being nude around my kid she doesn’t give a flying fuck she’s used to me being comfortable in my skin. I’ve also educated her about not flaunting her privates to anyone and that we are family and our home is a safe place. My husband on the other doesn’t feel as comfortable and you know it works for him to be more private. To each their own. Ppftttt. Live and Let love people :heart:

I think it’s fine… my kids are 7,8,11 all boys and my mom and I sit on our beds in towels sometimes before getting dressed… My kids have walked in on me getting dressed I try not to freak out and tell them to get out cuz they’re just learning body parts but I try to limit them walking in on me as much as possible…

Wrapped in a towel isn’t walking around naked. So no, I wouldn’t think that was inappropriate. It’s much like wearing a dress in my opinion :woman_shrugging:t2:

Either you grown up in a naked house or a clothed house!! Everything in life is addressed in Sex in the City!

You clearly stated at first that you were sometimes naked around your two teenage boys…wearing a towel or robe after a shower around them is not being naked…but even then, it is your responsibility to make sure you are appropriate in actions and words…why can’t you get dressed before you come out of the bathroom when they are around? And all mothers carry their children for nine months so I’m not sure why you included that in your question…and who saw you sit on your bed with a towel around you after a shower other than your two sons? It all sounds inappropriate to me…as you seem to be stating that someone else was seeing you in the towel …you don’t mention a father figure so I’m assuming you are alone with them…I think for the sake of the sons and respect you have for their proper upbringing, you should get dressed before you leave the bathroom…and stop walking around so they see you in the towel…and if you decide to keep wearing the towel at least close your bedroom door to get dressed…

Im 25 and still walk around in a towel or undies holding my boobs or a towel idgaf what my mom, dad or bro think lol they arent creeps and look… Usually cause my bras on the line or something so i run out and in…

Ehhh…I wouldn’t be naked around either one of my kids at that age. Mostly so I don’t burn their eyes.

I was always told that it’s fine unless the kids start to feel uncomfortable, then it’s time to stop. 17 and 18 is getting up there tho :woman_shrugging:
Idk , I think it’s possibly time to close the door when you’re dressing now?
One bonus is that they have seen you naked since they were born and won’t be in a rush to see “ boobies” or whatever in girlfriends because it’s no big deal . :joy:
In the end, only you know what’s best for your family!

Y’all really didn’t read the post if you think she’s not covered she’s wrapped in a damn towel her body parts are covered it’s perfectly appropriate she’s not bare ass naked flashing them her boobs.

I don’t see any problems with it. I mean you were doing a bunch of things at once. That’s being a great parent

Do you share a bed/room with them? Before any opinion is made I think this is a better question.
If you don’t share a bed/room with them then they can leave the room if uncomfortable (no matter what I’m sure there is a living area). Maybe you let them know I’m hoping in the shower is their queue to exit the area.
If there is no other area then maybe try a robe instead of only the towel around your head. If you are also wearing a towel around you, your covered in my opinion and the boys need to understand that.

I’m sure like my dad (deceased) and step dad who did and still do walk around in their boxers when anyone familiar is around its life. My biological dad was terrible and did this when I had friends stay the night (that was inappropriate and embarrassing :flushed:). I see my mom in a towel I’m in a towel or robe post shower. If you’re truly covered in some way and not just a towel over your head then your good. Otherwise tell the boys (at least 18 year old) they can find a job and move out if it’s that “inappropriate” to them. Don’t do their laundry (if you still do) because that wouldn’t be appropriate either.
My thoughts, and rereading it sounds like a friend said that’s inappropriate so that person probably isn’t someone you need in your life if that’s what their concerns are. :woman_shrugging:t3:

This mama thinks modesty is virtue.

What do you do when you go swimming at a pool - kids or grandkids - older kids can go on their own but not younger ones

My kids couldn’t care less if I was naked in the shower or sitting on the toilet. They till walk in to my personal bathroom (master bedroom) when I’m using it to ask ke whatever it is they want to ask me. They don’t make ot weird. But they don’t care. I’m their mom. There’s nothing nasty, sick or perverted about it. Don’t make it. Them… on the other hand… scream if I see them naked, lol.

Ok…walking around naked??? No.
Walking around in a towel? Unavoidable sometimes and completely ok.

I don’t think it’s wrong, I also think it helps boys see what’s realistic when most teens are expecting girls bodies to look like porn stars. If they’ve always seen you naked what’s the difference? When it makes him uncomfortable I’m sure he’ll turn away haha

How about you just raise your boys how to act around naked bodies it would do the whole world a justice

Wait… so you’re just in a towel? Lol idk why thats bad?

I have a 13 year old a 8 year old daughter and a 4 year old son and sometimes I walk around naked or something I even take my son a shower with me but I been teaching him to shower or bath by himself and sometimes he will and sometimes he don’t want to

So you sit on the bed, wrapped in a towel, with them? I see no issue with that.

Edit to add, the only people who can truly tell you if it’s right or wrong is your sons. Ask them. If they feel uncomfortable around you like this maybe have a no in moms room policy until you are done showering and dressed or whatever works for your family.
