It depends on if he was being lewd or not to be honest. If she walked in on him I dont see anything wrong about it. The post lacks details
I’m going to go ahead and say never…
Nip this now, before the good touch bad touch talk at school. Because they go over private parts and what not and then they ask the kids, innocently, if they’ve ever seen anything like this or been touched like this. The world we live in, this will cause your family to be investigated.
If she’s uncomfortable it’s time to stop.
If she’s uncomfortable, it’s time to put a stop to it. She should be the guiding force here.
Okay asking a bunch of strangers what if he sees this and knows it’s him… You need to confront him on this issue and being naked is natural but can be uncomfortable as a kid seeing your parents naked. Why would so publically ask something so private. Even though it’s not your name on the story… What if he sees this and assumes it’s you??? Confront the guy… It’s a personal matter!!
Not everything needs to be sexual. My children violated any type of privacy I may have previously enjoyed every. single. day! At some point they just stopped walking in on me when I was in the bathroom, taking a shower, getting dressed in my room, etc. I never made a big deal out of it because sometimes you have to shower and change your clothes and do other things that require you to be naked or only partially clothed. I didn’t want my children to have some complex, nor did I want them growing up in a home where they felt a human body was embarrassing. Once a child indicates they’re uncomfortable, stop. Not a big deal. You just say, make sure you knock before coming in so I can finish going to the bathroom, make sure I’ve changed, etc. And just talk to her friggin father. You never know, he might have a brain too and if you told him she was uncomfortable, he’d be like, oh - ok. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks for letting me know.
She was 3 when this happened? And it was more than likely an accident? Like she forgot to knock and barged into the bathroom? (Both my kids have done this) I realized she may have just told you but that was two years ago…there’s nothing you can do about it now.
Unless he’s walking around naked or actively changing in front of your daughter he’s not doing anything wrong.
Eh… I mean I never can use the restroom alone because both boys are up my ass 24/7 they are 4 and 9 months. They see me when I get out of the shower as well. We don’t make a big deal out of it… However if she came to you & said she’s uncomfortable then HE definitely needs to put a stop to it!
A little girl should never see that! (Or boy) Accidents happen, but this don’t even sound like that!
Ya that’s inappropriate. If she walked in on him accidentally ya no harm done but if he’s changing in front of her or walking around with his flopper floppin then I would not want that around my daughter ever. Especially if she’s said before it made her uncomfortable
Any age. Cover up unless it’s sons. And same with moms cover up around your boys.
It’s weird. I saw my dad’s penis. I was little. It felt gross to see that. As it’s not necessary for your growth as a human to see and be comfortable with seeing your parents genitals. Mom’s boobs during breast feeding? Ok. Mom walking around with boobs out. Not ok. Dad going to take a pee in his boxers or tidy whitey’s ok. Being nude just because? Not ok. Trust me a little girl never forgets seeing that. My best friend grew up in a family they were all always sitting around in there underwear. Come to find out, her dad was molesting her.
I’m a step mom, so figuring out what’s okay and what’s not took a bit. Basically, my rule and my moms rule was once the child noticed a difference between herself and her father, it’s not longer appropriate to be nude around them. My little one would point out I had boobies, so I’ve always worn bikinis around him. But the fact she’s stated it makes her uncomfortable should be enough for you to talk to him and ell him how your daughter is feeling. The behaviour should change
Uhm… never. If a child sees dad naked she thinks its ok to see uncle tom naked. Kids do not know the difference. You are only grooming your child for a molester to get a hold of her.
Our 4 year old daughter has never seen her daddy naked but sees me naked all the time. My little sister showered with her dad until they thought she was old enough to ask questions. I would have a talk with him about it and shes clearly uncomfortable so he needs to stop
I would say if she is uncomfortable then talk to him about it… Some people are nudist and naked is natural.
She’s too old at the point of recognition. Shouldn’t ever happen period
My husband panics if our 2 year old daughter goes in the bathroom while he’s taking a shower even though he can’t be seen he tells her to get out and if she won’t listen he’ll call me to get her
If she’s uncomfortable it’s time to stop.
Since she has voiced discomfort I think you should tell the father exactly that (no need to have the child repeat it to him) and then suggest he stop being naked in front of her since shes getting older and there is no reason he cant cover up while shes there
All these people saying never are hilarious. A penis is a body part like ANY other body part. It is nothing to be ashamed of and people shouldn’t teach their children to be ashamed of their bodies by shaming those if others. It should be explained that it is a normal body part and there is nothing wrong with it. However, because she has said she is uncomfortable just let the dad know that she has expressed discomfort and he needs to cover up because she prefers it.
This is the time when it needs to stop. Its natural and not sexual if hes not being inappropriate. However, SHE has now told you it makes her uncomfortable. So now HE needs to be more modest and respect that.
Oh for Pete’s Sake. It’s not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. When kids start being uncomfortable about seeing you naked that’s when they stop barging in on you when you’re naked. Don’t worry about it. Not everything is a traumatic event.
I would say inappropriate now. Our youngest daughter is almost 3 and we are starting to get her to stay out of the bathroom when dad is in it. But she still doesn’t fully understand that it’s a different part. We aren’t to modest a family I guess you could say. Dad walks around in boxers and I’ll walk around in underwear or short shorts. I don’t mind the kids seeing my breasts but some families aren’t ok with that. I breastfed them and feel as breasts shouldn’t be sexualized. We allow the kids to be comfortable as long as the privates are covered by underwear at home. But if we have company they have to be dressed
It’s not right for him to prance around in the nude around her, that’s highly inappropriate and I’m sure social services would agree
Dang… my daughter has never seen my husband’s penis. she’s 10 now. at five she was incredibly smart (as most 5 year olds) when it comes to the world, so if she saw that, she would be freakin SCARRED lol. idk, deff stop it, for sure, that’s much too old.
I have grown some and they came in the bathroom ,no privacy ,so what were they doing ? If he has an open door policy talk to him ,it’s snot always about sex
What age? At birth.
Yes kids should see us naked and it’s not a sexual thing at all
Tgere 8s no right or wrong afe as such but If she’s uncomfortable it’s not right. Simple as that
If it makes her uncomfortable then it needs to stop! Talk with him & let him know that she said it makes her uncomfortable and ask him to no longer do it around her.
A young girl should never be around naked men since birth!
Something isn’t right there.
I mean, my daughter sees me naked when I have her in my room and I’m changing. But that’s a mother and daughter thing. If I had a son, I would probably still change in front of him until he began noticing differences/ or made him uncomfortable. Did this happen when she was 3 and shes bringing it up now? 2 years later? Or did this happen recently? If your daughter seems uncomfortable he needs to stop immediately, and if he doesnt, theres going to be problems for you.
I think when it’s same gender- mom/daughter or father/son, it’s okay until they’re not okay with it
It seems like he is a single father. What exactly should he do if he is out somewhere with his daughter and needs to use the restroom? Is it safer for your daughter to be left alone outside of a restroom or to see a body part that half of the population has?
that’s plain f’d up!
Why is she just now saying it made her uncomfortable? Are you bringing it up to her? Kids typically don’t just bring up things that happened from when they were three. Personally, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. We have one bathroom in our house, sometimes my 7 year old daughter runs in there while my husband is getting in or out of the shower. Seeing your parent naked isn’t an issue unless you make it one. Children should know what body parts are and what is appropriate and what is inappropriate.
Maybe you can share with her dad how she felt about it!
But… Not in her presence though.
Would you be uncomfortable if he did this and u were together ?
It’s important she isn’t shamed about it.
It’s a big red flag to me,lot of little ones are molested by people they know ,they threaten them if you tell I’ll hurt mom ,brother , who ever. I would have her checked .kid’s cry out for help they don’t know what to do.
Someone once gave me interesting insight on this, my brother and his wife, they have 5 kids, they each have 2 kids from a previous marriage and they have one together. My brother has a boy and a girl and his wife has 2 girls. My brother son and daughter bathed with him (basically to save time) for a long time, when his wife came into their lives her daughters were very curious (young, 6 or 7 yrs old) about his ‘parts’ and she even caught them trying to sneak a peak when he was changing or something, he was very careful around them because obviously they’re not biologically his, but their father never allowed them to see him nude so they were VERY curious about my brothers ‘junk’ where as my brothers daughter is unphased because she bathed with him and her little brother often. So it’s just one of those things that it depends on ur opinion on how comfortable they should be seeing male parts. My daughter never bathed or saw her dads ‘junk’ but we also split up when she was 6 months old and shes never had over nights with him to this day (his choice) her stepdad came into her life when she was 2.5 (4.5 yrs ago) and shes never seen him naked because she understands that those are private parts and we really shouldnt be looking at other peoples parts (started teaching her that stuff young) but now she has a little brother and of course shes seen his parts and there was never a question of ‘why’ it’s different. It’s just his peepee. Personally I wouldnt want her bathing with her dad. If she saw her stepdads or dads peepee by accident I wouldnt make a huge deal about it, I’d just reiterate to her that she should knock or w.e because those are private parts. If your daughter was uncomfortable with seeing her dads peepee she should tell him she doesn’t want to see it because w.e and thats it.
If She’s uncomfortable, she shouldn’t be in the bathroom while he’s naked
I agree I think he should be dressed with myself it’s not a problem my husband and 2 children both under 5 walk round naked or in their pants but I wouldn’t dream of doing it. Yes they walk in on my bathing but I wouldn’t do it on purpose I suppose it’s different with all boys or all girls. I don’t think I’d care getting changed in front of a little girl if I had one but I don’t in front of my two boys.
Talk to dad. Just explain it in the nicest way as he might feel embarrassed a little or not think anything of it. X
Once a child is embarrassed or uncomfortable it should stop, but I think with the opposite sex even sooner than that. Probably by preschool at the latest, 2-3 years old.
He needs to grow up you dont that in front of you 5 yr old daughter
Have her talk to him with u around. Have her explain to him it makes her uncomfortable. Nudity in my house is no big deal but if my kids expressed discomfort I’d make an effort to change that.
Tell him she is getting older and mentioned it to you , dont shame him just ask that he respect her . Talk abt it openly so she knows she can talk to either of you . Remind him he is her example of how a man should treat her . Keep the communication open and shame free. The naked body is nothing to be ashamed of but it’s to be respected.
Not enough info. She just saw him pee? Like he left the door open? That’s fine. Whipped it out in front of her, not okay. My husband pees with the door open. All our kids have grown accustomed to accidentally “seeing” it and they usually laugh it off and remind him he should shut the door. If hes purposely doing it, basically, then hes gross.
It’s no longer okay when one or the other is uncomfortable. Our kids have never seen daddy naked, showered with him, etc. They see me naked all the time. I’m comfortable with it. Husband was raised to not be naked around anyone but his spouse. Just because she’s uncomfortable does not mean he touched her. I mean. Wowwww.
My husband would die if our daughter saw his penis. He doesn’t walk around without a shirt on, much less pants.
This is a bit much. He needs to keep his clothes on!
Why does he need his penis out infront of a 5 yr old?
I don’t really consider nudity by itself to be sexual, but if she is uncomfortable then you need to have a talk with her dad about it. I wouldn’t be angry or anything, just say it matter-of-factly.
Talk about we with him ! Have her turn around if they have to be together .
He would not get my daughter again.
My kids dont see their dad naked. I’ve always thought that was kinda gross…
This isn’t okay in my opinion. As a child who was sexually abused, it started like this for me and I would 110% put a stop to it immediately.
Oh my god no tell him to.put pants on
Tell him to put his damn pants on. Little girls don’t need to be around naked men. HE’S a disgrace.
The key point dhe is uncomfortable. We are very open with nuditynin my house but the second someone feels uncomfortable its time to cover up
I always operate on the belief that when they’re uncomfortable, it should stop to respect their feelings. But we also facilitate lots of discussions at home about privacy and how we all have bodies and they’re all different and not shameful as long as we’re respectful of other people’s feelings.
I’m wondering why this is an issue two years after the fact. Nudity isn’t wrong, nudity isn’t sexual. If it honestly makes her uncomfortable, talk to him. Some people are ok with nudity, and some aren’t. Both are normal and acceptable.
If she is uncomfortable she is too old. Maybe dad doesn’t think it bothers her. Talk to him before jumping to any conclusions, twll him shes not ok w it and neither are you.
If she was uncomfortable tell him how it makes her feel, if she doesnt like it he shouldnt do it
We all have those parts. I dont show my son…but I’ll use the restroom in front of him. I think it’s no big deal…but if shes uncomfortable…then he should try to be more modest.
For one a child should never ever see her or his father or mother naked that is just not right and she is 5 now so it is definitely inappropriate for that
Wow way to make something out of nothing
My boy/girl twins are 4 and they see us both naked. Being naked isn’t sexual, it’s just not having clothes on.
Inappropriate behavior isn’t synonymous with getting int he shower while your kids are in the adjacent bathtub.
My husband sometimes gives the kids a shower with him and sometimes I do.
As a matter of actual FACT, we (the USA) is way more uptight about nudity than most countries.
If you’re not ok with it that doesn’t mean it literally wrong. If you’re not ok with it then share that YOU aren’t ok with it and how it makes YOU feel. But you are not the gauge for “right or wrong” and accusing your husband of doing something “wrong” because he doesn’t share your views is about control, not reality.
Allow him to make the choice to respect your feelings because he is a grown man who loves you but isn’t your child.
y’all saying that bc it’s her father it’s okay it’s NOT y’all would feel different if it was a cousin or a stranger all together the father needs to grow up an put on some pants the pervert
Why is she following him to the bathroom? ? His house… oh well. Tell her to tell him to shut the door!
You are more sick then the father for letting him do that and ldtting your daughter see youre a sick women.
At 5 years old that is something she shouldn’t be seeing
Tell him to stop.Its inappropiate for her to be seeing that.Shes going to grow up fucked up and confused.What is wrong with people these days?
Did she walk in on him changing or going to the bathroom!
When they are uncomfortable then it’s a no go
He did it again after she was 3 years old? He knows not to and yes you need to tell him to respect his daughter’s feelings. Not okay unless it was an accident as Jessica said. My husband did that to my younger sister when she was watching our son. He walked out naked and it was on purpose. So put a stop to it. Daughter might tell someone besides you next time.
Tell the dad to put his dick away
Is it a problem for him to at least wear underwear? I wouldnt wanna see my parents naked! Natural or not, gross! Not at 5 and not at 45! Just nooooo!!!
Nudity does not equal sexual. God created us naked. My 15 year old son watched me give birth to his sister. I was pretty much naked the whole labor lol I saw my father’s body as a child- he would freak out but it was nothing to me. Kids need to understand bodies. Teach them about their bodies from a young age so they don’t go to friends for questions you should answer.
It is never a good ideal get real
The only thing that matters here is that she said it makes her uncomfortable… So he needs to keep the damn door shut while he’s naked. Plain and simple.
Yea I’d lay down the law right there. My daughter wouldn’t be going to Dads anymore if he’s choosing to act like this.
Tell him to put on shorts
Accidentally I’ve seen my dads thing and EWWW!!! no matter the age its ewww. Tell him to at least put boxers on…especially around his daughter…and if it was hard when she saw it…call police cause that ain’t right and something bigger is wrong
Tell him to put it away no reason she needs to be permanently scarred.
If she’s uncomfortable then it’s inappropriate
You need to put a stop to it now
If she’s uncomfortable then it needs to be addressed.
No moral values anymore…let’s all walk around like animals.
I have 4 girls and never would I be okay with their father walking around them naked at ANY age considering children get curious at a young age and ask questions and it’s just weird as fuck. My father never did that around me and I’d rather my children not see that type of stuff either. Disgusting…
Nudity isn’t inherently sexual we need to start teaching my kids to be comfortable with it and understand healthy boundaries around it. We accidentally do is teach our kids to be ashamed and uncomfortable around their own naked bodies.
If it makes her uncomfortable then he needs to respect that because that is her boundary.
If she uncomfortable it’s time to stop. Walking around naked… stop showering with her etc if one or both start to get uncomfortable.
If she is uncomfortable that is enough to not do it.
If she’s uncomfortable then that’s when it’s a problem.
I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to tell another parent at what age it becomes inappropriate, that’s up to your family and your family only, BUT the SECOND the child speaks up about not liking it YOU PUT A STOP TO IT
I mean at that age they tend to just open doors some times. Did maybe she walk in on her dad changing or in the bathroom maybe? Did it just happen that once? By the sounds of it, it sounds like an accident maybe, i did that one time when i was about 3, i still remember it to this day, it wasnt my dad though, it was someone else, but still made me feel uncomfortable because I knew that was something I wasnt supposed to see but it was an accident, the door was locked but the door was broken and i just opened it up because i had to use the bathroom. So maybe thats all it was, however if he was just walking around the house naked for the hell or it, then thats not good! He needs to cover up for sure! I would talk to him about it and maybe ask her that question before you do. Make sure you have all the facts before hand.
Your daughter is 5 and used the words “penis” and “uncomfortable”?? I don’t believe that for a second, you are putting words in her mouth. The age to stop is when they start asking questions about it, but there’s really nothing wrong with it at a young age.
Well that’s very interesting, I feel that’s the wrong message for ur 5 yo daughter. She’s too old for her dad urinating in front of her.
No and if she is uncomfortable no matter what his comfort is, she over rules .
That needs to be addressed immediately.
Five is way too old for a father to be getting undressed in front of his daughter.
