Do you let your kids play naked outside?

shopgirl78

This is a S/O from D&R/2nd tri.

Sometimes if we are playing outside and decide to swim.  I strip them down and let them "skinny dip."  We have a privacy fence, they have sunscreen and I watch them...is that wrong?  They love it... (The issue with the OP is that her neighbors don't have a privacy fence).   

ETA:  I only let them play in the backyard (where the privacy fence) is naked.  Not in the front...

Nope. If I had a privacy fence I might out back. DD likes to play out front and you never know.

Yes in the back yard we do, never in the front.

Yep. We have a privacy fence or our backyard but our neighbors on both sides can see if they were to be looking ut their 2nd floor windows (we are in the city, so the houses are very close together). He is 2, he thinks it is fun, it is fine.

I absolutely would if I had your set up. ?I never would in mine. ?No fence and neighbors all around us. ?

Probably.  We live in the country and although we don't have fences we have state land behind us and old people for neighbors nest to us on one side and the other side has older kids but I've never actually seen any of them (so don't even know who lives there...we have never met them and they've lived there for about 3 years!).  I am just concerned with all the bees we have.

No, our backyard faces the golf course and we have neighbors on either side.  Too many eyes for my comfort.

Yes, my kids love skinny dipping in the kiddie pool. I feel fine with it at our current house but would not have allowed it at our old house- totally different neighborhood with different neighbors, houses closer together- it would have been inappropriate there.

I have a friend who lives in town on a street with more traffic and right next to a very large, very busy playground. She lets her girls play outside naked and even though I'm generally not one to be bothered by such things, I don't think that I would be comfortable letting my kids out naked in those conditions.

No. No reason...just never had the need to : )

Well, when dd goes to my mother's house and doesn't have her bathingsuit she swims in her underware. I really wouldn't let her go naked. I think she/he should at least have a bottom on.

I've let him play on the porch naked but he was shielded from neighbors eyes by our hedges. It was only when he had a bad diaper rash that we were trying to cure.

Yes DS loves playing in his kiddie pool or sprinkler naked! We also have a large fence in the backyard so I don't mind letting him run around naked.

No-no fences and no privacy.

No - I would let him swim naked if we had a pool and a yard like yours. There's just no reason for my son to run around naked in our yard.
