This might be looking far into the future for the FTMs but this is the only board I really go on and was curious what people thought.
I grew up in a house with just my mom and sisters. Since it was always just us girls we were a very "naked friendly" household. Not like weirdly or anything but we all felt comfortable enough to walk in the bathroom if someone was in the shower and walk around without clothes on while we were getting ready or something. DH came from a complete opposite type of house. He is always fully clothed at home, but I'm not. I sleep in my underwear and if I'm getting ready I do my hair and makeup before getting dressed.
Now that I have two boys, I guess I'll have to change my habits. My oldest is 3 now and since I've been BFing I've had to start answering some boob questions and things. I'm just curious if other people come from 'naked houses' or am I just weird like my DH thinks?
Re: Do you have a "naked house"?
I didn't grow up in a "naked house" but we have one now! We're both comfortable with missing items of clothing around each other and now having a baby it seems as if we wear less clothes than ever between breastfeeding and burping.
I'm sure when DS gets older and figures stuff out but for now it works so well for us and has made me very aware of my body.
I've seen MIL in her underwear more than I care to admit. And apparently, FIL used to poop with the door open.
H and I still are naked people. I rarely shut the bathroom door and H sleeps in his underwear! Also I'm bfing so my boobs,are hanging out on a daily basis.
SCANDAL!
This.
DH was raised in a "naked house" but I wasn't. I'm actually more comfortable undressed around his mom and sisters than I am around my own. But we definitely have a naked house now (it's noon and I'm in a bra and boxers because we haven't left the house yet). My DS is 4 and still showers with me. I don't think there's anything weird about it unless you make it into something weird.
Agreed
I wouldn't really call the house I was raised in as a "naked house" but when we were little we never shut the bathroom door and I would sleep in just undies or even naked. My sister and I shared a room.
DH and his brother feel perfectly fine just running around in their boxer briefs without blinking an eye.
Once we got married I sleep in the nude almost every night. When it comes to breast feed I just pop them out, never shut the bathroom door. We are married not like he hasn't seen it all before. Things will probably not change with LO.
omg no way! Jealous of those who have that freedom, though. I'm such a prude. Even around my husband.
I grew up with two younger brother and a dad, so that wasn't happening.
