What age is it inappropriate for father to be naked around their daughter?

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. :woman_shrugging:t3:

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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 :woman_shrugging:

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.

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.

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 .
