Should a father walk around naked with their kids around?

What’s he’s using to cover it is the butt exposed my husband goes around in his underwear

At 5 I don’t see why anyone would be bathing with her.

Wow wtf…ummm no its not OK!!!Period!!!

My parents were hippies and walked around naked :woozy_face: i know i didn’t want to see that

Depends on the culture :woman_shrugging:t5:

Yes it’s fine. He’s her father.

Not ok at all by any means!!

I see nothing wrong with it

Some of you people are so weird haha

Its just a body. Shock horror

Wow…the comments show the mentality of people & what is wrong with this country. Americans seem to be the biggest ones that think in a sexual manner regarding nudity. There is nothing wrong or dirty about it…it is what has been planted in your mind & what you are planting in your childrens minds. Smh! So tired of people thinking the worst of loving fathers because you’ve been raised to think nudity equals something else.

My husband showers with our almost 6 year old boy and girl (twins). Not often but he has. I shower with them both often, both of them! They also still takes baths together (we have massive tub).
We get dressed in front of them. They see us naked whenever they walk in our room while we are changing or walk in the bathroom and we are in the shower or just got out. They change in front of us and ask for help without feeling embarrassed.
We also have very clear conversations about being safe, being vocal and who can and can’t touch them. Our pediatrician also discusses this with them every visit.
Being naked isn’t gross or wrong or weird. It’s just not having clothes on. We don’t walk around the house naked but we don’t rush to cover or hide or even think to do that.
You literally can do both. You can show them it’s not a big deal to get dressed or bathe in front of them or with them AND teach them to be “modest” and protective of their bodies. They aren’t stupid ducks…they are tiny humans.
But this thread seems to be just jonesing for an argument.
What I feel absolutely strongly about in the end is that we all do what we feel is right in our homes with our children and we do not judge each other’s choices. That is the most important thing to remember.

Are people saying no to bathing? Can you as a mother bathe your daughter? I’m confused. Are single dads supposed to let their young child bathe themselves. Stop putting y’all perverted minds on these innocent children. :roll_eyes:

My daughter won’t even change if a boy is around. She won’t even show her tummy by wearing short shirts. I’m the mom. I bath and change her. Yes, when she was younger and we had no other options he changed her diaper and bathed her… But rarely. And that was when she was two or younger and NEVER showered with her. Not once. I definitely think it’s inappropriate.

Not in my opinion but growing up my friends parents & my friends would walk around their house butt naked all the time. It was weird to me so after seeing it twice I never went back in their house

Shell thinks its appropriate with men not just her father…who is this pervert anyway

It’s fine at first but at a certain age it needs to stop because at 3 there already notice body parts

I mean…I wouldn’t know as someone who never grew up with a father or any dad figure in my life. As a mom, I think if its a quick dash to bathroom and back to the room where its private its fine. Its not purposefully exposing. Baths…I am indifferent. If you arent harming the child then why not? If you arent sexually abusing the child then I dont see an issue. People want equality. Feminism is strong here but when it comes to baths people become traditional minded. Its one sided there. If he is walking around in boxers then the poster has issues and she needs to deal with that. If he is wearing just shorts i mean…hes covering the most important things. So whats the issue?

Unless the mother not in the child life father’s play a special roll and will always baby up their child 5yrs dey r still a baby in our eyes

Underwear is no different than a bathing suit. Carry on.

Its his daughter and as long as he’s not poping a damn boner I see no problem with it. My son is 9 and I still have no privacy with him. No matter how many times I tell him to freaking knock! My husband showers with out 2 year old and at first he was uncomfortable but then I pointed out he was being ridiculous and that our son showered with both of us. Dont sexualize something that isn’t sexual🙄 obviously is there is signs of inappropriate things then yes. Hell up until recently my husband walked around in his boxers but we have my oldest who’s 15 living with us and he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable

No No And hell to the No!!!

Noo!! I don’t even bath with my son. I’ve always made it clear that shit isn’t to happen.

Totally inappropriate !!

Uuummm… well. My daughter is about to be 3. She knows she has a vagina and daddy has a penis and testicles and mommy also has boobs. If she wants to run around the house naked all day she does (cause it’s not worth the fight to put clothes on her). We all share a room together (living with family and don’t have a choice) and we both sleep naked. The child climbs in our bed every night. She likes hopping in the shower with daddy. I would rather her be comfortable with her own body and be confident and comfortable around a naked body but still respect herself and know that nobody touches her without permission then feel ashamed like she needs to hide her body. Sorry but I’d rather have a teenager (who as all teenagers get curious and some become sexually active) be able to look at a penis and know if it looks “funny” (aka STD like herpes or warts) and walk away then think they shouldn’t see each other’s parts and have no idea and end up with the STD and being an embarrassed teenager, not say anything or get checked out.

WTF ! Hell To The No on all of it.

If kids are not home , do as you please, when kids are home act like a fucking parent…this sounds highly disturbing…I’d get legal advice ASAP.

Hell no very inappropriate…

In boxers whatever, bathed with her is iffy for sure. But in my house my girls are typically running butt naked I’m pantless, and hubby is always clothed unless it’s bedtime then he only has boxers on :woman_shrugging:t4: as long as his penis isn’t in her face or touching her it’s just a body.

If a mom can birth a child from her vagina in front of her kids it should be fine for a father to shower a child :upside_down_face:

People need to mind their own. No he shouldn’t be walking around bare assed in front of any child. Bathing with his daughter shouldn’t be disturbing and if you find it disturbing, it’s probably coz you’re a disturbed human yourself.

I bathe with my sons. They are 6 & 7. I bathe with my daughters too. What’s the difference? Why must our kids be raised to sexualize their parents?

Why must this become a sexual thing?

Humans are shit.

How is this even a question… hell NO !

Not ok for either parent to walk around naked in front of their kids. I mean unless they’re babies and the bathing is a big no. That’s disgusting and way too old to be bathing with a child especially the opposite sex. Little girls don’t need to see dicks and shit like that. That’s nasty and inappropriate

Oh ok! Our family are really open about our bodies … but my husband doesn’t do it but i sure as hell do. My kids are at the age where they roll their eyes :slight_smile: but if my hisband did it wouldnt bother me at all. Nothing creepy about it unless you make it an issue

Some of you saying it’s ok and people have a bad mentality if we think it’s inappropriate are too comfortable.

You just never know.

Parents needs to have some decency I don’t give a shit if it’s the mom or dad.

Maybe I’m just traumatized from my past and over protective of my kids.

NO, NO, and HELL NO!!

Oh hell naw!!! I can NOT believe this is even a question! Especially the part about bathing!!

Not sure if he walks around in boxers or walks around naked covering his genitals. Its a def NO for him bathing with her.

Hell no there is something wrong with that,never and taken a bath with him Hell no!!!

What do you mean? Like walking around with his hands over his penis or walking around in his boxers? Cuz to me boxers is not a big deal.

Watch Captian Fantastic

Nope! Covering up from bathroom to the bedroom is one thing… dad is getting out of the shower and going to master bedroom to get dressed, then no issues. 5 years old… it is time to stop bathing with the kiddos and get them into their own little routines. I bathed with my son until about 4 because it was just so much easier… but the day he asked why I did not have a penis and he did, was the day bath time together stopped.

No I don’t think it okay …should have at least boxer on not showing his butt around a 5 yr old…and sure not taking bath together…

Really ??? No its not …what the hell is he thinking

No ,No,No. Not allow

Umm… so like should I stop having baths with my soon to be 4 year old because she freaking loves jumping in the bubble bath with me :joy::joy:

I have no problem with nudity in the household. My husband is uncomfortable being naked around y daughter, but I’m trying to get him over that quickly. Nakedness is not shameful or embarrassing. As long as you can trust that nothing inappropriate is going on, I don’t see a problem with it.

I think its just disgusting. From the age of 4 right through to the age of 17 ,I had my stepfather CONSTANTLY walk around naked in the house. Forced me to get undressed and dressed in front of him all the time. Forced me to get in the shower while he was still in there and the list goes on! It’s wrong in my eyes. That child shouldn’t be subjected to a naked fully grown man Regardless of it being the father or not.

When I was younger my dad didnt bath with us, he refused to have us in the bath with him, its usually the mum that has the kids in the bath with them, dads usually say no to having the kids in the bath when they hit a certain age, the walking around half naked is a little weird in front of the child but as long as hes covered that area with boxers or pants it doesnt really matter

Imagine being a single dad, your daughter is afraid of the bath/shower. Who is going to step in and comfort /help her? It’s no one else’s duty or responsibility but yours. So either the child doesn’t get cleaned properly or the dad is accused of doing something disgusting :roll_eyes:

Its not about how other people its how you feel about… If you feel something is off and you feel not Right about it then trust your gut.

Parents please stop normalizing this type of behavior between adults and children. It doesn’t matter that it’s her own father. If a child regularly sees mom and dad naked and even bathes with them naked, it is a lot easier for another adult to target that child and make them a potential victim because the child doesn’t know this is wrong. Please teach your child what healthy boundaries are.

People sexualizing parents is so fucking gross. Y’all saying that this is wrong are gross. It’s THIS kind of shit that is why my daughter would rather pee her fucking pants than run across the hall shirtless. Because her dad has a mindset that nudity is wrong. Y’all are wild

My dad gained full custody of my sister and I when we were 3 and 6. I grew up with a father bathing and helping bathe us as we got older. My dad NEVER wore anything other than his underwear in our house, unless we had company lol. And he’s the best parent/dad/man anyone could ask for. Its only dirty and wrong if you make it that way.

Are his goods covered? If so then it’s fine. It’d be the same with you. Cover your goods and it’s okay. Its her daddy, not some stranger. Also, did you bathe with her at some point? You’re her mother so I’d say you probably have. Guess what? That’s her dad. If you’re making it sexual then that says something is wrong with your mind. Get a better mindset. Single dads have to raise their kids too, think about that before you turn everything sexual.

NO NO NO NO AND NO. at least cover your bits up

My husband covers up in front of our daughter with a towel around his waist. He showers with our son and I shower with our daughter when they need to be washed up quickly. Other than that whoever is home of available at bath times gives them both baths together. My son is 2 and my daughter is 4. They bathe together. They’re children. They don’t specialize things. Father daughter should be sexualized and neither show mother son (unless there’s sexual abuse going on some where and in that case that adult shouldn’t have access to that child or any children). Yes, my children are curious about the human body but that’s where the parent starts explaining body parts. We don’t use nicknames for genitalia in my house. A penis is a penis and a vagina is a vagina.

No bathing with the kid

See I was raised completely different than a lot of people here :woman_shrugging:t2:

5 years old is way to old to be seeing their dad naked… I have 3 boys 1, 3 and 6… and I don’t let the 3 and 6 year old see me changing my clothes or being naked… and I for sure ain’t bathing with them. I don’t see it as being sexual… I am just more conservative I guess. I think it can be confusing for the kid.

Seriously? The natural human body is so scary for you people that a dad in his home can’t be naked? We teach our kids that the naked body is natural and okay. My three year old knows boys have penis’s and girls have vaginas. She knows daddy’s pee pee looks different than hers, and she ASKS to shower with us both at different times. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as there is nothing inappropriate going on, which there isn’t. If you don’t trust your husband then it’d be different but otherwise I don’t see an issue.

Only difference is the 3 year old smacks him every chance she gets and that was a great indicator (head height to the pee pee) that he shouldn’t shower with her anymore … embrace your bodies male or female and teach your kids the normality of that :raising_hand_woman::raising_hand_woman::raising_hand_woman:

A decorum of modesty never hurts.

No it’s not okay, people really!!!

Covering genitals like meaning underwear? I don’t see the problem. I’m not comfortable bathing with my kids period but that’s me

My children’s father would never. :grimacing: And neither would their step daddy. Once a child hits a certain age, it’s time to use modesty, teach boundaries, and give them (and yourself) some privacy. Let’s put it this way: How can you possibly teach your daughter modesty while you’re walking around stark naked? Or how would you teach your son not to let his penis hang out, if Daddy walks around naked with his flopping around all willy nilly? That’s how I think about it at least and my children aged (4-6) definitely appreciate their privacy.

We see men and women on tv ads daily in underwear. Some quite skimpy

No no this is child. Abuse
