Nope. Not ok by any means. The father should be extremely uncomfortable doing so.
Replace dad with mom. Would these answers be the same?
Holy shit, these comments.
I honestly donāt see the problem?
Iām confused is he naked or in underwear? Because thatās a totally different story
Heās not naked if his dick is covered upā¦ so whatās the problem??
I havenāt seen my kids naked since they could take care of their hygiene. They have no qualms walking in my room regardless of what Iām doing. Thank God for locks.
Not at all. I remember walking in on my dad in the bathroom once around that age and I still remember it.
Thatās f****** nasty. I understand people practice nudity but sometimes itās a little much
Noā¦no adult should freely walk around naked infront of their kids.
Absolutely not we have a 5 yr old daughter and her dad would never think to do that one
If just boxers itās the same as a bathing suit.
Not in front of the kids either parent ā¦
Not your family not your business. You realise people live different lifestyles. Have you heard of nudists?
Fuck no itās not okay
I mean if you donāt sexualize it then itās fine
I used to change in front of my son and take baths with him when he was little so whats the difference?
Is he just wearing underwear? If so I see no problem in that in their houseā¦ bathing his child, if heās nude in the tub thatās awkwardā¦ if heās just giving her a bath there is nothing wrong with that.
Different families, do things differently, is there a concern for molestation? Have you had a talk with this father and how do you know that these things are happening?!?
Unfortunately, so many are so quick to sexualize every single thing a parent does with their child, often times people like you donāt realize that youāre projecting unresolved trauma/fears onto someone else when there is absolutely no concern, for you to know these details, it leaves me wondering who you are exactly and if youāre so uncomfortable with it and you know itās going on, why havenāt you addressed the situation/issueš¤·š»āāļø
The idea that nudity is always equivalent to sex is primarily American and has a lot to do with our toxic ass culture.
If you have to ask you know the answer to that question ā¦ Noā¦ I understand in certain situations underwear like getting out of bed and what not to go get his clothes but no never for an extended period of time
Yikes yāall. If you donāt trust the father of your kids just say that.
if everyone is comfortable with it, why not? many families walk around naked. itās not MY jam, but thatās me. if dad, daughter and any other parent (if there is one) is comfortable one or both of them may become uncomfortable and at that point it should stop.
normalize nudity. people need to stop sexualizing everything. if this was about a mother and a son no one would be asking this.
if you are questioning this, it should be whether or not the adult in question is a SAFE AND TRUSTED parent figure. if you think your child shouldnāt be around their parent nude, then you probably shouldnāt have your kids around them at all.
I donāt think there is a right answer for this. Everyone has their own personal feelings on this topic. None of which are right or wrong. I guess it really depends on the person and the situation.
We donāt see anything sexual about nudity in our home and neither do our kids Americans over sexualize everything itās gross.
I wouldnt allow it, thatās just my personal opinion
No. Idk why this is even a questionā¦ why would he want to bathe with his 5 year old daughter? Thatās just weirdā¦ this whole thing screams red flags to meā¦ and I feel like I should add, I donāt mean him giving her a bath, but him being naked while doing soā¦ I donāt think a grown ass man needs be naked around a little girl. Period. And everybody on here saying itās his lifestyle choice or whatever and that people are over sexualizing, noā¦ the world is full of pedophiles, and itās on the news constant about child sex crimes, trafficking, and itās not just strangers doing it to random kids. Most of the time, itās their parent, a teacher, a religious leader, some adult that is supposed to be trusted with our kidsā¦ and why would this father want his 5 year old daughter being comfortable around a naked grown ass man? Thatās not normal and if the mother feels strange about it, there is a reason. Listen to your gut OP if thereās ever something that makes you feel uncomfortable, speak upā¦ taking a bath with your child when they are babies is not the same as taking a bath with a 5 year oldā¦ and I would def feel unsettled with my 5 year old child being in a bathtub with a naked grown ass adult.
My dad still does it
No. After a certain age, typically 5, theyāre not allowed. And if she tells another adult she bathes with her dad still and they chose to report it. He can get in big trouble. This happened to my cousin.
If heās in boxers its fine but completely naked is not fine at all. And baths/showers should stop when the kid starts noticing differences, which is usually between 3-5
Is he naked or in his underwear? That makes a huge difference. Also, how is bathing his child any different than when he changed her diaper?
At a certain age it becomes inappropriate. 5yo is about the time it becomes inappropriate to walk around naked, and bathing should probably start getting phased out.
Sounds like a lot of people start body shaming from a very young age. I donāt see any problem with mum or dad being naked or half dressed in front of their own kids.
If this question was about a mother, would everybody still feel the same way? I walk around naked in front of my 3 year old. I shower with my 3 year old. As does her father. Weāve never made it weird. Bodies are normal. Genitals are normal. Yeah, kids are going to have questions, but they have a right to know about their bodies. I see nothing wrong with this if thereās no suspicions of molestation/abuse. Yeah sure it could be argued that 5 is too old but kids donāt find things weird until you make them weird. So why yāall sexualizing the human body for CHILDREN? Theyāre children, they seriously think nothing of these things. If the child is not being harmed, why does it matter how you feel about how they run their household?
Lol some of you people
Our daughter is 8 almost 9, she sees my husband/her dad naked if heās changing, showering or she walks in the room etc. Itās really not that big of a deal, itās the human body. I also walk around naked.
The human body is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of.
Whose eating the tide pods here
Bath, yes. If mom can do it, so can dadā¦ Walking around, idk.
If either one doesnāt want to see it or isnāt comfortable being naked, thatās when it should stop. My daughter still sees me in all my glory and sheās 6, not like either one of us goes out of our way but I donāt care and neither does she (for now lmao)
Inappropriate, for mom or dad. My thinking is I donāt want my kids thinking that it is the ānormā to see adults or even older kids walking around naked because itās not. You want your 5 yr old to see someone else nude and think āthatās totally fineā ??
Why would a man want to expose himself to his little daughter?
I donāt see a problem with eithernifnits covered. Now if it wasnāt covered that would be an issue but no I donāt think its wrong. Also yes he should share giving baths well unless heās a pedophile then thereās more issues at hand
I mean, I wouldnāt like it just because how sexualized people have made literally everything these days. BUT, I wouldnāt judge another family for allowing it because itās their choice. Unless, there is concerns about said father being sexual with said daughter? I dunno. My kids dad wonāt even be in a towel in front our 3 BOYS , and thatās HIS choice! He will not change in front of them. He usually wears underwear but heāll cover up with a blanket if heās chilling on the couch watching tv or something.
Why is it necessary to bath with any child?! Male or female child?! I have NEVER showered with any of my children but they have seen me get changed but I have 3 girls. I donāt understand why people feel the need to do EVERYTHING with there childrenā¦showering with them, sleeping in the same bed as them is just too much!
Yaāll are making it sexual. Itās not! Itās anatomy. If he just got out of the shower then no big. He can wrap a towel around. If he walking around like just hanging out naked that is a different storyā¦
If hes got underpants on yeah. I dont see a reason someone would be walking around with their dong out in front of kids you know like just causally like that. Its one thing if hes changing or something but yeah cover the genitals up when just chilling around the house imo.
Nudity is natural, thereās nothing wrong with it at all. Stop over sexualizing such natural things.
Fully naked No, not okay. In a robe is okay as long as his parts are covered. Bathing together at 5 I think is too old.
Why is this being made into something sexual?
I showered with both my mom and dad till I was like 5 or 6. They had me turn around the other way in the shower while they cleansed and I played. Then they gave me my loofah and let me clean myself and if I needed help they would just turn their torso. I might have seen their privates a few times, but they didnāt make a big deal out of it so neither did I. Now, just freely walking around for extended periods of time? Chilling on the couch? Cooking dinner? Ehh, no not for my family personally. Unless their nudists. I donāt care either way honestly. If you feel uncomfortable, donāt do it. Doesnāt matter? More power to ya! Different strokes for different folks and thatās ok!
Wow. Stop sexualizing everything. If a father canāt bathe his young daughter without your mind automatically going there, the problem Is you, not the dad
If his genitals are covered isnāt that the same as a bathing suit? I donāt see a problem with it, bodies arenāt meant to be sexualized 24/7.
As long as they are both comfortable with bathing together I donāt see a problem with that either.
My parents walked around the house naked in front of me my entire life. It was never weird and in fact as I grew up, greatly minimized the shame/awkwardness often attached with human nudity. When youāre raised in an environment where nudity is normalized, then itās never really made to be an issue. Idk I donāt see anything wrong with this. No different then the countless traditional indigenous tribes that are completely/almost completely naked all the time. Just my opinion though.
I donāt see a problem with it, unless she is uncomfortable or starts asking questions about whatās what when bathing together.
Also if genitals are covered then whatās the problem?
Iām sure if mum was replaced with dad no one would be questioning this.
Stop sexualising fathers being fathers. Tf
If a mother or father walks around the house in their underwear, so what? Especially if the child is accustomed to it. Lots of women bathe or shower with their children, itās no different if itās the father. Every family is different, and it depends on whatās comfortable for them.
Itās fine. If you are not a sexual predator, this is 100% fine. Some people choose to be more āprivateā about their bodies, but some people do not. Perfectly fine.
If he in boxers big deal? And I mean why u questioning it whether he should bath with his 5 year old or not, I feel if you have to question that then it should be no cause youāre clearly uncomfortable with it.
Our son just turned 6ā¦ and we do not let him see us naked
Either way ā¦there needs to be boundries ā¦at least around ur daughter and definitely shouldnt be bathing wit her
Nothing wrong with that
I seen my dad in underwear and Iām just fine. However, I didnāt bathe with him, unless he had swimming trunks on, and that was still only a few times cause we got really dirty at the lake.
I have researched this and even spoke with a child therapist I know.
Itās whatever the parent is comfortable with. There is A nothing wrong with it B no sexual C allows for children to grow up confident about their bodies and themselves. Thereās nothing wrong with nudity or bathing with your child. You do whatās comfortable for you and your kids and your life.
Hippy parents were doing it for years! Ha
Honestly my husband wouldnāt do it himself bc heās extremely modest. I wouldnāt make judgement on others. My boys n my daughter all showered with me up until they were about 5ish. My 4yr old still showers with me if he just needs a a rinse other wise he prefers to get a tub with his 11yr old brother bc they play in the tub. I say to each their own. Ppl make nudity so taboo no wonder ppl r so insecure.
I would say itās ok. Just teach your daughter the correct terms for her genitalia and male genitalia. That way if something does happen, they will be very clear about what happened.
My kids are only 3 and almost one and we all shower together and we walk around naked. Just a body. Unless you sexy like it, it becomes wrong. But itās a body. And itās best to be aware of body autonomy than not. Everyone has one. I walk around naked in front of my son and he barges in the bathroom and shower all the time. What makes the father so special he gets to go to the bathroom, shower, and get dressed in private? Me and my fiancĆ© have the same views on sexual abuse and would have no problem putting them in a body bag.
Some of you are not reading this correctly!!!
It says āBATHE WITHā!!!
Thatās just wrong. Not at 5. Iām sorryā¦NOā:bangbang:
Not every one is a pedophile and over sexualizes everything!!! I bathe w my 3 yr old daughter wash her up, dad comes to get her puts pjs on her and brushes her hair n teeth while i bathe.
If its ok for the mom. Guess depends on the family.
My Gran walked around naked more often than Iād like to admit. Even when my cousins (boys) and I were teenagers. We never thought twice about it until outsiders made it weird.
A child knows how to bathe them selves,my 2 year old does. I sit there and help bathe but thatās its.
Walking around naked,no.
Itās not sexualizing anything but learning privacy.
My aunt use to take showers with her son an he was maybe five heāll Iāve took a shower with my mother an no itās not nasty its ur family an if she is not safe thatās the one thing ya know prayers sweetheart
Shirtless yes but in just his underwear I donāt agree with, as for bathing, if he has swimsuit or underwear on I donāt see a problem
My kids have seen me naked their entire lives. Itās not weird because I donāt act like itās weird. Neither of my kids are weird about their bodies. I have a boy and a girl.
I think when questions start getting askedā¦ they should be answered honestly and then maybe weaning occurs from there.
Idk I walk about naked sometimes and take baths with my son. I personally didnāt grow up with a dad so Iām not used to stuff like that, just watch out if heās being weird about it or turned on in any way
Stop sexualizing bodies. Itās perfectly fine.
Absolutely not. And Iāve seen posts like this before and asked all the men I know and they said they didnāt feel comfortable bathing with their daughters as babyās let alone old enough to have memories. I get some people want to be free. But with the amount of pedos around I donāt think anyone should normalize men getting naked with or around little girls. If they think itās ok with daddy theyāll think itās ok with uncles, grandpas and friends too. After a certain age a child should be taught privates are meant to be private. And what kinda dad wants his little girl to have life long memory of his penis?
A mother taking a bath/shower with their infant is different than a father taking a bath/shower with a 5year old.
With my bf and his 5 year old daughter he will sleep or only if really hot in the house we will only wear boxers, but all of his boxers are shorts length.
I on the other hand feel uncomfortable to be in my bra and underwear around her, but sheās only known me for about a month and I donāt want to make her uncomfortable. Even though my bf has told me it probably wonāt since her mom does it and her moms bf is mainly around the house in his boxers when itās hot out.
I grew up seeing my dad walk into the kitchen in his underwear but like he didnāt hang out on the couch in his whitie tighties. We didnāt bathe with him either but our family was comfortable in our own home with nudity, underwear etc. I think people make it perverted more than it is actually perverted
I shower with my grand baby every day. Itās the only way Iām gonna get one without her getting into play dough, food, candy, crayons etc. and before you say put them up- I do. Sheāll find a way. I also feel after a certain age, kids need to learn to shower and bath on their own but right now sheās only 3. She literally plays in the bottom of the bath while I shower and then I cover with a towel and bathe her. Sheās learned about anatomy of āgirlsā bodies and doesnāt question anything yet either.
However- I donāt think Iād be okay with it being male/female and sheās 5. But hey. If thereās a reason it makes you uncomfortable ask him to stop. And eventually questions are going to arise especially around that age.
My opinion is bodies are not sexual and baths are not sexual. Sex is sexual.
If thereās inappropriate behavior during bathing then yes itās an issue and obviously a problem. But people over specialize so much it seems.
Stop sexualizing unnecessarily. Thereās absolutely nothing wrong with a child seeing their parents naked. Itās completely natural. And itās a great start to asking questions and learning about bodies, anatomy, and sex.
Whatās next dads shouldnāt change diapers cause itās ānot appropriateā?? Or should I not change my sons diaper?? Why does it suddenly become āwrongā?
I personally donāt think either parent needs to be walking around a child thatās a certain age naked. I donāt want my child thinking itās ok for others to be naked in front of him. That poses a threat to my childās safety. Also social services could get involved and Iām not about to lose my child over being nude around him. Itās more out of respect for each other and for others and our comfort level.
Didnāt she say his genitals were covered? Then it shouldnāt be a problem.
Wow,really you removed my comment. There was nothing wrong with it just because I do not agree with a father taking a bath with their 5year old!
Boxers or naked, nothing wrong with that . My son 4 years old and has seen me naked . Donāt make it a sexual thingā¦
I mean, if heās wearing underwear i think itās fine. If heās wearing a swimsuit in the bath, thatās fine. But sheās 5, not a baby. He needs to cover himself. Same goes for women, if your son is 5, you need to cover your stuff.
Itās all just body partsā¦ nothing is weird until someone tries to sexualize it. Literally just a human anatomy. Skin covering muscle. Seeing a parent comfortable in their body (male/female) is going to make the child grow up embracing their body and not feeling ashamed.
Oh no! A nude human body! Mustā¦makeā¦childā¦ashamed!
Dude, itās just a part of his body. If you make it weird, then itās weird. If itās not openly made weird, the kid doesnāt know any different. I walk around naked in front of my kids regularly. I will not have them ashamed of their own bodies, or grossed out by fat bodies, and the best way to promote body positivity is to treat every body as normal.
The father of my daughter walks around in his underwear sometimes or a towel after a shower and he took baths with her when she was 5. He doesnāt anymore now that sheās almost 8 but she does occasionally jump in the shower with me and I change In front of her. Nudity doesnāt have to be a big deal. I always have talks with her about her body and how itās hers and her alone.
If heās in his underwear heās not naked thereās a big difference to that and no I donāt see a problem
Iām never naked, because I donāt like to be. Hubs on the other hand loves to be naked. We have a 10 year old and a 3 year old. He stopped being naked around the oldest when she asked him what his penis was at about 3.
Nope, itās fine. Uncles, aunties, grandma grandpa than no. Because if someone other than me, dad or siblings are naked in front of our kids than it could be cause for concern. Nobody else needs to expose their bodies to my children.
Donāt all dads walk around in their underwear? I think itās part of a dad initiation
I walk around my sons in my bra and panties. Not a big deal. The bathing together is not appropriate at age 5ā¦ mom/son or dad/daughter.
Stop. Sexualizing. The. Relationship. Between. Fathers. And. Daughters.
Well women walk around and bathe naked with their 5 year old sons? No different.
I donāt see a problem with it. Itās no different than a mom being naked or bathing with her kids. People need to stop sexualizing everything a dad does, just because heās a man. Also donāt have kids with someone you donāt trust.
No itās weird sorry. Just wear boxers. No reason to walk around naked.
