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

She’s five. He needs to dress up in front of her. Heck she shouldn’t even see you naked.

Its wrong he should not be walking around naked u have kids wtf why are u asking facebook just saying commen sense that stuff can scar a child at that age and if u dont tell him to stop it could start something else he should no better than to do that around a child if he doesnt stop then u need to stop it it’s not right they are very fragile at 5 and u are the adult u need to talk with him not facebook be a parent and a leaning ear dl for ur child sorry not sorry she is telling u something listen

I find it unusual that a mother would come to the internet to ask for others opinions over a thing like this. Their daughter went straight to them to say she felt uncomfortable with it but instead of going straight to her daughters father to discuss the situation and make it clear that she feels uncomfortable she asks strangers what to do instead.

Personally our home is a very open place. We have a toddler and a nb boy. Neither of us openly expose ourselves just for the hell of it but we shower, change, use the bathroom and my toddler will barge on in to the bathroom on me so he is very well aware we all have different parts. When we started trying to potty train we were instructed by his doctor to try letting him use his potty when Daddy and I use ours so he would sit across the bathroom on his toilet while I or his Dad used the real one. This type of thing is only a problem if you make it one.

I’ve seen my dad pee only because I had to wash my hands & my mom was there

Umm… the human body is perfectly normal and although I don’t think it’s appropriate to just let it all hang out in front of people, like come on it’s natural. How do we teach children to be comfortable with their bodies if they think it’s something they should be ashamed of or try to hide. I’m the kind of “pee with the door open” type of mom.

Id talk to dad n say she told u that. Idk im naked around my 4yr old n 2yr old
They take showers with me…my 4yr old will go bathroom when dad is in bath n it doesn’t really matter.

I grew up in a body positive house hold. If you had to wash your hands while someone was in the shower :woman_shrugging: even going between bedroom and bathroom. I was 18 when I moved out. So up till I was 18. It was never in a flaunt it kind if way. I think my question would be why your daughter felt uncomfortable? If it was for the simple nudity, out of fear of the unknown or was it more a self conscious body image thing. That way you can respond to the cause.

The body is a natural thing. Educate her on it, if she still feels uncomfortable than I’d be with her while she tells that to her dad and asks him to cover up.

Thats just plain sick!! No mother or father should walk around like that infront of there kids period!!especially a father w/ a daughter thats just effin sick!!:rage::rage:

I mean what exactly word by word did your daughter say?
And now the age to stop for her to see it or anything like that

You say she was 3 when last saw him urinate, which happens in the home.
So it hasn’t been happening since and thats a good thing because at this age your daughter is old enough to express how uncomfortable she is/was.

Talk to him, let him know how his child felt & feels … So he is aware and can continue to make the effort to have pants on around her.

I dunno about this one.
I have 3 kids 7yr old girl 3yr boy and a 1yr old girl.

I shower with the door open, i pee with the door open, i get dressed infront of my kids every day.

They know all about their bodies and never questioned it.

However the fact your daughter has specifically said shes uncomfortable has made me wonder what’s going on at her dads house, could be something as simple as its been so hot hes been walking round naked or he took a pee and she walked in…you could of asked her how she saw it, or make a joke out of it and ask was daddy walking round the house with no clothes on again?(say it in a joking voice make it out like its a normal thing he does all the time) She will be more honest with you than he will be

My daughter’s father would never!! The only person who can be naked is ME! I have a daughter, so I don’t care. Her father stays dressed becuz HE HAS A DAUGHTER! I get people are different, but at 5…she should not be seeing her dad’s penis.
Also, I’m not gonna comment about you asking social media about this situation but you do needa speak to her dad & tell him what she told you. Obviously she’s not comfortable enough to tell him shes uncomfortable. I just hope this doesn’t effect her in any way in the long run

In our family we have an outdoor sauna, and we’re naked with the little grandson. My ten year old has seen me naked, but it’s been a while. He is very respectful of the female body. If you teach them now it will be less awkward for them later. You don’t want to be a person who’s offended by naked bodies? That’s just ridiculous

**** I do not see nudity as sexual. This is coming from someone that was sexually assaulted for 4yrs. That being said, regardless of age, regardless of how society sees things or how you Or her father see things, SHE IS UNCOMFORTABLE. That is the time in which it is inappropriate. She has set her own boundaries and those must be respected. There can be no flexibility, no discussion, no wavering.

In this case age is not an issue. Your daughter has expressed that she is uncomfortable so she should not have to see that at all. Period!

If it makes her uncomfortable then it’s time to stop, my dad would come in and use the toilet all through out my growing up but our bathroom had a glass stall around it. I never saw anything inappropriate, would just hear the urinating but it never bothered me. it might just be time to start closing the door and using a lock. Discuss it with her father and just let him know that SHE is uncomfortable don’t make it about yourself or he could defensive, so just make it about the fact that your daughter brought it up and told you how it made her feel.

Tell her dad that she feels uncomfortable out have her do it. It doesn’t sound like he is doing anything wrong but if his daughter is uncomfortable then he shouldn’t do it any more. That simple…

If it makes her feel some sort of way . And if she can . ask her to tell her dad how she feels about it .and that she would like him to cover up . if she don’t feel able to do so . Then i would say something to him . I mean everyone have different feelings about this . I potty trained both my kids ( boy and girl ) .so they both have either seen me naked or using the bathroom from a young age . Even now will barge into the bathroom to have a convo wt me no problem . Its all on how each person feels . iam fine wt it .

at the age of 5 NO a daughter shouldn’t be seeing her fathers penis, how is this even a question? i mean it’s 1 thing if she walks in on him using the restroom, you just put a lock on the door because yes accident’s happen, BUT to intentionally be walking around the house butt naked for your daughter to be seeing your penis HELL NO!!! that’s beyond inappropriate and actually ILLEGAL and will put him in prison and on the registry! the fact this is even a question baffles me to be quite honest, tf?

Letting your children see you naked is a good thing! It shows them how to be comfortable with their body, and also shows them that everybody’s body is different. I used to bathe with my father and mother when I was little and I can promise you I’m not scarred for life :joy: it opens up the door for questions, and if she asks any answer them. It’s better to learn from your parents than from little Johnny down the street who wants to play doctor

Tell him it makes her feel this way

Never in my opinion :woman_shrugging::woman_shrugging: It should be Mom!

Being naked is how we are born. If you make it seem strange she will feel its strange. Kids seeing u naked isn’t that big of deal could be worse. They could catch u in the physical act of love which is totally creepy.

His behavior sounds a little like grooming behavior, if she’s uncomfortable that’s a problem imo.

My husband has just stopped when she turned 3. He said HE felt uncomfortable because she was noticing and staring :joy::joy::joy:
No questions (she has a 6mo brother- She sees his diaper being changed all the time.)
It’s not a huge deal for us, but If your daughter is expressing discomfort, I’d tell him to stop it.
He can throw on some boxers or a robe. :woman_shrugging:t3:

I think if she is uncomfortable, It needs to stop. you need to have a talk with him about it. You being her Mom, you need to be her voice. She isn’t going to tell him on her own.

It sounds like she walked in on her dad in the bathroom, not like he walks around the house naked? If that’s the case, it was an accident. If it IS him regularly walking around naked (she does mention he’s “uninhibited” which makes it sound like there’s been more than just this one occasion), then I think he needs to quit and respect his child. Lock the door so no one accidentally walks in, and don’t be walking around the house naked. Simple.

I grew up in a very open house. Some of the best talks I ever had with my Mom was sitting next to the tub while she was taking a bath. Haha. My Dad always slept in his underwear so that was also normal to see. Never thought anything of it and was completely normal. I now have two sons, we have a tiny house. When I’m changing clothes or hoping in the shower they will see me they are 7 & 4. I think when my kids start to feel weird about it they will stop barging in my room while I’m changing. Haha. I think it’s good and will give them a realistic view of what a woman’s body looks like, not always pretty haha. Stretch marks and all! Haha

If it makes her feel uncomfortable I would definitely mention that to him I feel that it would also be a good time to let her know that if she’s uncomfortable with something she does have a right to speak up about it

If she’s that uncomfortable speak to the father about it he doesn’t need to pee with the door open anyways speak to her about body parts and be open with her teach her to call 911 in case she’s afraid or something bad does happen my daughter’s father molested our daughter not saying the same for your case but it happens way too often and kids are too scared to speak being open and honest is the best way it shows your kid she can come to you about anything :purple_heart::cherry_blossom::purple_heart::cherry_blossom::purple_heart: good luck

My husband pees with the door open all the time(I’ve recently asked him to stop doing this but only because our daughter keeps trying to pee standing up& its making a mess😂), my daughter sees him totally naked coming out of the shower, changing his shorts in the kitchen sometimes when he’s in a rush, there is absolutely nothing weird about it. I personally think that it’s better that way because it teaches kids not to be ashamed of their bodies& even if they dont have the same “parts” so to speak, they should know about human anatomy.

The less fun part of the conversation at hand. Kids who know the correct names for body parts are less likely to be sexually abused. Studies show that if a child says the anatomically correct words(ex:”I dont want to touch your penis”) a child predator is more likely to back off because they know the child wont keep the secret. An even if sadly they dont back off, the child can describe exactly what was done to them &is a WAY more solid case to get the predator thrown in jail.

If she’s uncomfortable I would sit her down& have an anatomy chat, explain that youll tell dad to close the door from now on but that there is no shame in nakedness. Definitely mention it to dad, not only so he can close the door in the future, but maybe talk to her an try his best to make her more comfortable telling him things like this herself.

when they know whats going on. WHY does he feel the Need to do this. why are you only asking Now! I would be worried about so meone

who does that… what else do they do that you Dont know about…

shows have documentaries about this stuff …& it just gets Worse…my oppinion

I cant believe alot of you are implying this man is a groomer or pedo because of a slip up. You are all crazy

Why is everyone sexualizing the children. Why do most of you think your SO would have inappropriate thoughts about a child? That’s the confusing part. I think it was an accident, and it can be handled quickly and quietly. Just talk to dad, tell him what she said and he will probably be just as uncomfortable as she was. Problem solved. If you don’t make it into a big deal, then it shouldn’t be. Also take this time to talk to her about privacy, and ask her if she has any questions. Good luck!

Nope! Not ok! My husband has NEVER wanted his daughter near him at any point when his junk has been out. Whether he’s using the restroom or changing in our bedroom. Whatever it is he himself finds it highly inappropriate! The fact your 5 year old daughter has already expressed concern and said she is uncomfortable would immediately lead me to have a discussion with her father about privacy and your guys daughter being more aware. I would also start documenting every time she becomes uncomfortable because she’s seen his privates!

Its time for her to stop seeing the penis.

Calm down… it’s JUST a penis. It’s a body part. Don’t make it taboo
