When should you stop changing with your kids in the room?

My kids still interrupt me all the time :woman_shrugging:t2: they’re 7 and 11. All 3 of us are good at interrupting my mom while she’s changing. :joy: I’ll sit there and have a whole conversation with her while she changes 3 feet away from me.

She’s your daughter. Don’t let someone make it a big deal for you when obviously it’s not.

She’s your daughter! Why would it ever be inappropriate? She’s a girl and has the same parts you have. My daughter is 13 and I never stopped changing in front of her. If it were a boy it would be different because his body is different. I don’t think there is anything wrong with changing in front of your daughter. Your friend has issues.

My daughters 10. Girls can change with girls. They’re going to have to do it for gym class right? I mean, especially if we’re trying on clothes in a store or at the y swimming, honestly, if i let my daughter change by herself, she’d be getting dressed for like 45 minutes lol

Our kids range in age, 7, almost 3 and 18months. My husband and I sleep naked, and usually end up bed sharing with at least one kid nightly. We shower together. We shower with the kids. On hot days the kids play outside naked in the pool or the sprinkler. It’s not wrong for kids to be comfortable and educated about bodies. We do make sure to keep it in the family though. If friends of other family are over, clothes stay on.

My daughter is almost 8 and walks in on me all the time taking a shower. She doesn’t make a big deal about it so I don’t.

I never feel strange if any of my daughters see me naked. I have three girls and will walk around naked if I’m in the middle of changing and need to go to a different room or downstairs to get something. I’m very comfortable with my body, I hope I foster my daughters being comfortable with theirs.

My kids are 7 and 8 years old, they can come in my room when I change anytime. The way I look at it is: they came out of me, I fed them with my breast so who cares if they see me. I didn’t breast feed for long with either kid but they each did at least twice. My mom always told me that if I was to not let my kids around when I changed then my girl would think she needs to be ashamed of her body and my boy would sexualize the female body way to much. I don’t want my son to be the type of kid who sees a bra and think he can do whatever he wants. I don’t want my daughter to feel her body is something to be ashamed of.

Personally I never did. My kids are not allowed in our room or master bathroom so it was never really necessary. Its more about teaching privacy.
But I also have two girls so they have walked in on me a few times when younger and used the same stall to use the bathroom when younger. I’m modest but I’d never shame them or make them feel ashamed of their bodies.
I always say the human body is beautiful and amazing.
But i also teach modesty only because they are children and should never be sexualized in any way.

My mom changed in front of me my whole life! I’d also sit on the toilet when she showered a lot. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. You’d be able to tell if your child was uncomfortable with it. I don’t know why so many people reach their babies that there is something shameful about a naked body.

It’s up to you. All of my family…siblings, nieces, aunts, cousins… if you are female it’s not like its nothing they haven’t seen before. My child is 8 and I still get dressed and she is so used to it she dont pay attention. I dont change in front of anyone but my daughter and husband. I dont feel comfortable doing it. I let my daughter know she is in charge of her body and if she isn’t comfortable with something let me know.

I still do lol my daughter is 22. A boy no of course. …

I’m 35 and my mom and I will change in front of each other. Not a big deal. :woman_shrugging:

My daughter will be 12 in a few weeks and i still do this, don’t let anyone tell you whats wrong and right with your child. Your instincts will tell you when its inappropriate

Personal preference for you and your kid(s). If either party is uncomfortable then it shouldn’t happen but if neither have an issue who cares.

Got 3 daughters. Its no big deal unless u make it 1. Its natural & if ur comfortable, then they will be 2. Got a 6,7& 20year old. Last yr. i saw my grandson be born & my oldest was comforble lettin me b there & help her thru labor, delivery, recovery & nursing her baby❤ Proud of her 4 bein comforble in her own skin & having good self esteem & self image & bein confident.

I am 27, mt mom is 65… she will still change with me in the room :rofl:

I have 5 daughters and there is always one of us in house naked :joy::joy::joy: why hide your body from your daughter… Mine saw it from the beginning when I’d bath or shower with them so there was no issue as it was just the norm. I also see now as adult and teenagers they have no hang ups about any girl they are close to, including me, see them naked and vice versa.

I think with girls sure can be any age, shows them how a female body is suppose to be like and creates that comfortable feeling with your own body cause everyone is different. My daughter is 3 turning 4 with delayed in age as well. And if she has an opinion that’s just hers.

My mum gets changed in front of me I’m 31 , she was at the birth of my son aswell x

Hahaha. My kids are 20, 17, 2 and currently pregnant… I still change in front of them. Oops, sometimes I use my bathroom and don’t close the door. My house!!! Lol. It’s no biggie unless someone makes it a biggie I guess

It’s not a bad thing to teach kids that nudity is not to be sexualized constantly or feared. Both my 9(girl) and 4(boy) see me change.
The best advice I’ve heard about the subject is to respect when your kids start wanting to change separate or have that privacy.

I had a friend who’s mom raised five boys all to be comfortable and respectful of the naked body because she had seizures and it could literally be the difference between life and death if they were “scared” of seeing her naked.

I have boys it’s never been a big deal. Boys and girls are different have different parts for different reasons. But I also never told them their penis was called a peepee and they know breasts feed babies. It’s normal and natural and no different than having a meal at the table. To each their own.

I changed in front of my daughters until they were like OMG BOOBS EWWW probably around the 6/7 year range

I have 2 daughters that are 6 and 3 that I change in front of. I don’t think it’s a big deal :heart:

My mom still gets dressed and undressed in front of me lol and my oldest likes to point out that she can see my butt when i get undressed lol i teach my kids you can always be comfortable in front of mommy no matter what they are or arent wearing

Um what about when they gawk at your boobs and they are boys? Mine do this and when I ask what they are looking at they hide away, smirk shyly and say nothing then laugh

I feel like this should only be a question if the sexes were opposite. I shower and change in front of my daughter. I feel it’ll just make it easier for her to understand her own body when she is older. I’ll stop when and if she ever wants it.

My mom always got dressed in front of us.
Hell I’m 31 and when we go over for the summer she still does. Or I sit and bullshit with her while she’s in the tub.
Maybe a boy will be different?? I still change infront of my 3 boys. (Oldest is 6) but I can’t even pee without atleast 1 with me anyways.

I dont think it’s a big deal at all. You do what your comfortable with.

My son is almost 7 and still sees me naked. He’s not interested in my parts or anything in that nature. He doesn’t stare or make things uncomfortable so I don’t mind. It’s just him and I so i don’t even think anything of it but when my spouse and I move in together then I won’t do it anymore because he has a 8 year old daughter that doesn’t need to see me naked lol.

Dude, I’m 41 and if I’m in the room with my mom and she’s wants to change, she does. And vice versa. My daughters, to include my bonus, will not leave the room if I’m changing. And I don’t force them. I don’t even force my sons to leave. My logic is the body is natural, there is nothing sexual going on and no big deal.

Girl do what feels right! My 10 yr old still showers with me sometimes . Nothing weird— we actually have really good talks in the shower .

It’s normal around here. :woman_shrugging::woman_shrugging:

You are the same gender as her. You have the same parts. Honestly, she’ll never be too old. Kinda like changing in front of your best friend. Might be different if you had a son. Then once they get older and start noticing things, then you stop changing in front of them. But mother’s and daughters… really they never really get to old for that.

I still go in while my moms in the bath to talk to her or while shes getting dressed
My sisters do the same :woman_shrugging:

I grew up with my mom being comfortable being naked in front of me and vice versa. Still at 32, I would undress in front of my mom (like a dressing room if we were shopping or whatever). I want my own daughter to feel comfortable doing that too so I don’t hide my body from her or make it a big deal.

Ok, I’m sure I’ll catch flack from a few but I still change/shower in front of my 8yo son. He has no issues with it and it’s not sexual because eeewww but if he ever expresses concern I’ll remind him to stop walking in on me and that privacy goes two ways. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I have an 8 year old daughter and change in front of her. I also have a newborn I’m nursing. So she sees my boobs all the time lol. I am very upfront w her and if she ever has questions, I answer them.

I think it’s something that’s important with a son rather than a daughter.

If you, and your girls are ok with it. I really don’t see a problem with it.

My mom walked around naked all the time even now at 29 if I walk in her house and she is naked I don’t think much about it… but… my kids are almoast 2 ,4,5 and 7 and I do not change in front of any of them except the youngest I think 2 is the age I stoped

It’s normal in my household! :woman_shrugging:t3:

My children all have no problem changing in front of me, my 2 girls and I have shut my bedroom door and changed at the same time, I don’t change in front of my son. That’s just personal preference.

Your child will be vocal about when they become uncomfortable with it and I think at that point is when you should draw the line and create some distance. My oldest was around 5 when he started thinking it was weird. My daughter is 7 and I undress it front of her and there is no issue. Same with my 3 year old son.

I never had a problem dressing in front of my daughter.

Why should a child be taught body shame? Seriously. If it’s not sexualized by an adult then a child sees a human body. Why is there an issue? You nurse off the breast but then should hide it like a nun🤦‍♀️
