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

Somewhere in this scenario, mom will walk naked in front of their friends who might be with him.

Towel ok. Naked absolutely inappropriate

Omg if you aren’t nude then wth If your kids are that comfortable around you then good job mama.

My son is 8 and I change in front of him with no issues.

Let me say it loud enough for people in the back ::: If My Son Can’t Handle Seeing Breasts That Belong To His Mother, Then I Have Immensely Failed.

I see nothing wrong with being wrapped in a towel. To me that isnt someone seeing me naked.

Are you naked or are you not naked . I’m confused lol

Do you have doors in your home?? Please close them.

U said they’ve always seen u naked. But then u say, ur in a towel. Which one is it?

Nothing wrong with sitting on your own bed in a towel

Ok…im confused. Are you going around in a towel or naked? If naked…do you keep it behind your closed bedroom door or all around the house? Need more details. In a towel…kind of iffy but ok. Ive had to walk around the house in a towel before bc get hot in shower and need a bottle of water from the kitchen. However…walking around teen boys naked…not a good thing. Keep the nudity in your bedroom behind a locked door. Sorry…it is not ok to walk around teen boys naked. I know i wouldnt want to see either of my parents naked. Have seen them in towels running to kitchen and back to bedroom and thought nothing of it bc they did it quick and were covered. No big deal. Ask their opinion on it too. If they aren’t comfortable with even a towel…then maybe invest in a bath robe to wear around until can get to bedroom and get dressed. Take their feelings int account as well on everything. I remember my mom would sometimes use our bathroom with door wide open a lot,didnt make sense to me bc had her own bathoom but ok,and once i got older it started grossing me out that she would use the bathroom with door wide open that was right across the hall from my bedroom, so if i walked out i had to see her on the toilet and hated it. Kids feelings and level of comfort matter too.

Try a big terrycloth bathrobe instead of a towel. Maybe then?

The only thing that would make that inappropriate is if you sexualize it.

Not a problem, I do the same

Towel is no biggie. Naked is not appropriate.

You’ve said 2 different things here. You asked “Is it wrong that I’m sometimes naked in front of my son’s” and then said “It’s not like I’m walking around nude”… Can you clarify? because I’m confused.

I think it’s highly inappropriate at that age. They also probably don’t actually want to see their mother naked. I have 2 sons who are 8 & 5. I don’t walk around them naked. It’s not about “sexualizing” anything, it’s about having respect for them. My oldest son would be grossed out at seeing his mom naked like that. Just my opinion on it.

As a mom of 2 grown sons HELL NO THAT ISN’T AT ALL OK. . You need counseling.

My grown son lives with me and I change clothes wherever I am. Also you obviously aren’t being sexual about it and we need to stop people sexualizing every little thing :roll_eyes: boobs aren’t sexual. Naked bodies aren’t sexual. The only reason I can’t walk around without a shirt in public is because of perverts :roll_eyes:

In a towel is ok a lot of people don’t get dressed in the bathrooms but walking around naked or just being naked is weird to me especially with teenage sons but everyone will have their own opinions.

My kids walk into my bathroom and ask me questions and my shower is clear glass. They are in their 30’s now and don’t live with me but still do it. 2 girls. 2 boys. I scream at them and tell them to get out but they don’t. They think I’m crazy for begging mad🤷🏻‍♀️

Nope. Sorry towel is cut off at 8…maybe 6. Cover up. It’s not hard to do

Which is it? They’ve always seen you naked or in a towel? Naked around teenagers is not ok especially with the opposite sex

No. I have 10 kids. I don’t see a problem.

Ok… this is misleading… in the beginning, she states, “they have always seen me naked”… and even asks the question, “is it wrong that I am sometimes naked around my teenage sons”… then goes into being “wrapped in a towel”…… ummmm, not the same thing y’all. You, as a mom, shouldn’t be letting your teenage sons see your naked ass. Period. Different when a toddler comes in the bathroom
Or whatnot, if you’re showering, or sees you changing. Info in her post isn’t consistent….:woman_shrugging:t2:

My take is if you got very I’ll,they might be your first corresponders,but on the other hand,I would be careful of how I carry myself around my children, in this age ,of abuse…sexual…most of the time its , relatives of these children,that have this sick mentality, now ,girls and boys are subjected to sexual abuse,from some parents ,with the age of ,sick porn,being rampant.and available, to any age,we must be vigilant as parents , and also teach our children to be vigilant also,children should be taught ,certain things is not just ok,a line should be drawn.

As long as you’re not nude it isn’t a problem

Ask your boys I don’t think any teenage boy likes to see their mom naked

I’ve always seen both parents like it from a young age and into my adult years. I see nothing weird about it, it’s your family. Every family is different, but if your a close and laid back family, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just bodies. If the child doesn’t say they are uncomfortable by it then I see no issue. X

More is covered when wrapped in a towel than when in swimmers so there is nothing inappropriate at all. If you are a prude and get fully dressed in the bathroom before walking out then good for you. However many people share a small bathroom or have disability and need to dress in their own room so will leave the bathroom in a towel. It’s perfectly ok.
The same people having a problem are the same ones who wouldn’t ask a son to get them a feminine hygiene product etc.

I think it depends on the family. We where always the kinda family with no locks on doors and walk round naked. I don’t see the issue and I’m the same with my daughter. I think as long as the birds and the bees talk is had it makes kids a lot more aware and less curious. X

If you’re walking around in a towel or covered in some manner, I don’t find it weird. But if you’re out displaying your parts around your teenage boys….I do find that weird.
Don’t assume that just because your kids are quiet or they dont “pay attention” to what you’re doing, that they are ok with it. They maybe scared or embarrassed to voice how they really feel.
Later on when they become older they may bring out the actions you did.

If kids are brought up around something it’s what they are used to. I walk round naked in front of my kids one being an 18 year old son. He just laughs at me as do my two daughters. No shame in it in my opinion. Times have changed as I keep getting told by the younger generation, I never saw my parents naked but they also didn’t tell me they loved me, does that mean I should be the same towards my kids??

I have two boys one is 17 one is 15 and I used to be around them naked all the time until they were uncomfortable at around 10-11 since then doors get knocked and mum is covered if they are around they are fine with underwear but no nudity once they started to be uncomfortable I made an effort to respect how they felt I will add I grew up with all girls and even now as adults none of us are bothered my mum and my sisters all se eachother nude no problems I would say follow their lead on it I didn’t think about it until my boys started to noticeably be uncomfortable that’s when it changed for them but hasn’t for my sisters and mum with myself at the same time I also have a daughter and my husband has not been naked around her since she noticed the difference between boys and girls which was much earlier but she was very young when she decided she was uncomfortable with anyone other than mum seeing her in the nude she has no problem seeing me with nothing in and she is 8

Some of these comments really surprise me. You’re a mum and it’s your body, your body birthed those children! A mums body is not naturally a sexual thing, people are making it that way for some crazy reason. You’re sitting on your bed in a towel, you’re not being inappropriate at all :two_hearts:

I personally don’t think it’s appropriate. If your boys were 3&4 it would be okay, but teenagers…I don’t think that’s okay, but you have to decide for yourself. It’s probably not a good conversation topic though to have with people that you know, some things should be kept private among your household.

My boys came and gave me a kiss and hug on their way to bed and I was on the toilet. Explained to them about patience and knocking first but it’ll take time to sink in…. They are 15 and 12. I am the only woman in the household I want my kids to know there isn’t anything strange or exciting about a naked lady and I am careful not to hide or downplay the differences of my body and what a woman has to go through that is different than a man. This way when they have a friend or girlfriend who has their period or complains of cramps then my sons should know how to react and provide support without any qualms. Hopefully by not hiding or objectifying the parts of my body that are female they won’t to others.

I think it is disrespectful to your children and yourself. Hardly any parent does that, no matter what you tell yourself. I raised 4 children, 1 girl & 3 boys, their father used to do things like that, later, after they were all adults, they agreed they didn’t appreciate it at all. Come on woman, who is the adult there???

The point is, why is everything sexualised? Its a body, and likely a fine example of a real, none filtered one. If your boys aren’t fussed and you aren’t either, I say carry on. I was the same but my son started to become embarrassed at about age 13 so I respect his feelings and try to stay covered around him. You sound like a great Mum, keep up the good work :heart:

My MIL who I’ve known since I was 17 (Now 32) freely walked around nude in front of her kids, including myself. She had 2 boys and 2 girls. We never saw it as anything more than she hated to wear cloths. Raising men that don’t sexualize every naked women is an important lesson all men can benefit from. Boobs are created for feeding and nurturing, the vagina is a literal path into this world and used to urinate…the more you cover it up the more hyper sexualized it becomes. Other women in other cultures freely walk around exposing their chest and the men don’t even flinch. We need to grow up and stop being so sensitive to things in this country. If your family prefers to cover up, cool…but expecting others to live with the same narrow minded views that you do isn’t! I now have a 13 yo boy and I don’t necessarily walk around to be seen but if he happens to come into my room while I’m getting dressed I don’t run and hide. I walk around with a T-shirt at night, and he still manages to bother me when I’m on the toilet far too often. Let’s grow up America!

If they walk into YOUR room once you’ve showered they are fully aware that you are going to be changing; However if you’re covered by the towel then it’s nothing they haven’t seen before. If they are comfortable and so are you then let it be. If you feel uncomfortable about it then close the door and tell them to knock.

So being in a towel is not ok as a mother around her children but its ok for them to be exposed to stuff they shouldn’t be on social media or video clips or being exposed to things like trans gender books at age 4…
