Undressing in front of DC?

  I remember seeing my dad...which is why DH doesn't undress in front of Amelia now.  She sometimes walks into the bathroom when he's showering (when we're all getting ready to go somewhere), but he quickly turns away in the shower.  Since I have two girls I won't stop...hope that it keeps open lines of communication regarding body issues/image.  I want them to see that mommy isn't perfect, but I'm still beautiful in my own way.

  DH stopped when Emmy was around 2.  What's funny is that when she runs in the bathroom when he's taking a shower, she doesn't even notice anything at all different about him.  Yet, when I'm getting dressed, she'll point to all my parts!  WTH??  I don't even have anything down there and she still points.  It's weird.

  I don't know. We haven't stopped. DD has never noticed or commented about DH's body. She has made comments about mine, but I think that's because she knows that she's a girl and mommy's a girl, so why don't we look exactly the same?

  The first time we ever discussed that boys have a penis was because of DS, not from seeing DH.

  Still, I think the end will come fairly soon... maybe 4?

  I try to avoid it in front of Joshua.  With Gabriel I don't worry about it.  As he gets closer to three I will be more careful about it.  They will see me nurse little brother though.

  Um, the girls still shower with both DH and I. I'm sure at some point soon Reagan will stop showering with him but she thinks nothing of it right now. I have no problems with the girls seeing me naked and I remember seeing my mom naked for quite awhile.

  Basically as soon as they could walk my DH stopped.  They both still shower with me and think nothing of it.

  DH has always been uncomfortable with A seeing him naked, he runs if she walks in the room he's changing.

  She sees me change all the time, she's never said anything but has stared.

  I took showers with my dad until I was about 3-3 1/2. I didn't think anything of it at the time, my parents are pretty open and my mom still doesnt' think twice about undressing in front of me.

  But now, as an adult, I remember it and it totally weirds me out! Like in a creepy weird way.

  we're both still very open about it in front of the girls.  I don't know when we'll stop, that will be DH's call.

  My mom was a single mom, so there was no dad to see naked. I don't have any idea about that btu I still see my mom naked now.

  As far as our kids, we are both still naked in front of them. I don't see anything wrong with it. Tru doesn't even seem to notice. Maybe because he is so used to it. When he starts to realize things like female classmates are more like mommy and less like him, then I will probably stop.

  Side note: we are a bathroom door open (for #1) kind of family and it's hard to ratchet that back. Tru has a hard time understanding that public restrooms are not like home right now. Still, I wouldn't change it and we will probably always be that way to some extent but it is a weird connundrum right now...
