Should a father walk around naked with their kids around?

Is it okay for a father to walk around naked, only covering his genitals in front of his five-year-old daughter? Also, what about bathing with his five-year-old daughter?

Walking around naked no. Helping her in the tub yeah I don’t see a problem with a dad checking on her or helping her wash out the soap in her hair but at 5 she should be able to use body wash and clean herself

No that’s disgusting

My husband walks around in just his boxers around our girls all the time and he never bathes with them but does wash my 5 year olds head (she washes herself). But otherwise no it’s not ok a guy to bathe with girls. If you know of someone who does this or walks around naked and is ok with it I would start asking alot of questions.

I don’t see an issue with walking around in boxers…as for giving a bath it should be fine, what if its a single father with a daughter you people are to much to judge

I would say since you are asking you know it doesn’t feel right. And no it’s not appropriate. Even at a young age earlier than 5 years old they pay attention. They need to learn that the body parts are private. If he makes sure the daughter is bathe but not in the shower to me that’s more appropriate. Both being naked in the shower absolutely not I would not be okay with it at all

Not for just hanging out. Underwear sure.
My husband is gone most of the week so it’s just me and my boy (about to be 4) if I need to shower he comes with me 95% because he wants to play in water and make potions. Idk how it will be a year from now, but for now it works and it keeps me from sticking my head out every 2 second to make sure everything is still OK.

Walking around naked around his 5 year old daughter. Absolutely not. And covering as in naked and just hiding his crap? Or covering as in wearing a pair of boxers?
My husband walks around wearing boxers or shorts around our children. He also will occasionally supervise them for shower time and wash their hair for them. But you are making your questions seem predatory and I don’t know if that is your intent or not. But I would have a talk with him if I were you and set some ground rules that you are comfortable with.

Nope
My kid don’t even stay the night at her days, she’s 9
My choice, he respects it.

No and neither did I.

It says he’s covering himself my husband walks around in his underwear with our kids and I often will put our kids in the shower with him to same with me on days we have to be somewhere it’d often quicker to just have the shower with me or him.

Has he got underwear on or what lady or is he absolutely naked we’re he is covering his penis with his hands???

how is it wrong for a father to bathe with their kids but it’s normal for mothers? honest question, don’t attack me. i don’t agree with being completely nude around kids for no reason, that’s just… raises more questions than answers.

If he’s covering his genitals then he isn’t naked.

It sounds like the father is taking a shower WITH the daughter. Not just putting her in the shower. That’s not normal.

Depends. My boys are 5 and 10, both think nothing of talking to me when I’m in the shower or on the toilet. I tell them that mum needs privacy at these times, but actually don’t make a big deal of it. It’s not a sexual thing. Sadly we live in a world when something that may seem innocent, is not. At the very least a conversation is in order.

At 5 my boys still showered with me. Naked was never shameful here.

I hear all kinds of stories and sorry but some don’t sit well with me! When your child is an infant it’s one thing bc they have no idea you’re walking around naked . Once they start nursery school you shouldn’t be walking around naked… and no need for a father to be taking a bath with their daughter or a mother with their son ! Sorry but that’s just me!

This would not be happening in my house. Female or Male no difference. Clothing on parents and children should be in shower or bath tub on own and you supervise them or help them what they need or show them and tell them.
I would be asking why they are walking around the house like that and also why they are bathing there child like that.

My husband has never been naked around our children, he’s just not comfortable with that.
But yes he helped with all the changing and baths because if I didn’t trust him To do that he would not be my husband or father of my kids!

It’s a personal choice. Depends a lot on the kid. My oldest never did inappropriate stuff, like trying to grab things or ask awkward questions. Just sort of accepted things as they were. Of course now we try to avoid being naked in front of each other, but it happens sometimes. We aren’t shy and don’t shame nudity, but we also ask for privacy and set boundaries for everyone. It 100% depends on the kids and the parents. It should be a family choice.

What’s sad is I asked this questions about mom’s being naked in front of their kids, even older kids and apparently that was okay.

I dont think adults (any adults) should be naked around children, yours mine or otherwise.

I used to send my kid & dad to shower together after a beach trip. That ended when dad came out mortified & tucking saying “she’s noticed”. Now because my kid sucks at showering (I’m sorry but most kids do & mine stinks) we do a re wipe down after she does her thing & also do her hair. But dad being “free” around my daughter ended when she was like 2-3yr & noticed. I also don’t walk around naked but the one bathroom problem has resulted in her seeing me but not dad. Dad will at least slip on boxers or wrap a towel if she needs to get in the bathroom.

Think about this…if your daughter goes to school and tells the teacher she sees her dad naked and also bathes with him, what do you think will happen? That should give you a good idea of whether or not it’s okay.

I walk from the bathroom to my room occasionally and my kids know it’s completely normal. They also know who is supposed to see them naked and who isn’t. If he’s covering his penis, I don’t see an issue with it as long as you also teach your children about proper touch and who can and can’t see them naked.
You’d get a show at our house when we’re all trying to get showers done quickly, it’s like a revolving door :laughing:

Are you looking to get him for this so you can build a case?? I gotta know cause that’s what it sounds like to me!! :point_up_2:

Oh my gosh. I love where we are as a society. Do we all realize that dads don’t look at their children as sexual objects? Or as mother’s are we that unsure in the men we married to feel scared to let them give them a shower?

There comes a time where it becomes inappropriate. It has nothing to do with sexualising children. Where you as parents choose to draw the line 🤷🏾‍♀ is up to you. But factors such as the awareness and mental development of the child should definitely be considered.

Don’t sexualise it I have a feeling this is just for attention plus if you didn’t trust him why are you still around him with your 5 year old for Petes sake

Not in my opinoin . My daughter is told to leave room when he changes/ changing at age 2. And he tried to keep her clothed and gave me do the naked stuff for her . He handles our sons showers mostly…
