It doesn't happen often, but every now and then, DD and I will be in our bedroom when DH comes out of the shower and she will see him naked. She doesn't seem to notice but DH is suddenly becoming self concious about it. Just wondering if your LOs see you and DH naked? Specifically if DDs see daddy naked and if DSs see mommy naked. TIA!
Re: Does your LO see you/your DH naked?
B sees me naked (at least in panties) nearly every day. I'm not especially concerned with him seeing muff, I just don't tend to wander around sans underpants. I mean, I don't walk around in just undies either, but when I get dressed he's often in the room. He finds nipples (not just mine) hilarious.
I once read a Mad (or maybe it was Cracked) comic about how society had become so over-sexualized that boobs and bush were no longer taboo, but elbows were the new erotica. To me that says it all - whatever it is, it's just a body part until you make it something more.

DS wakes up really early and I like a morning shower so he often will come into the bathroom and stick his head in the shower. It doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't bother him. When it bothers him to see his mom naked then I will be more carefull.

She sees me naked often when I'm in the shower or getting ready for the day. I don't have a problem with it. I saw my mom frequently when I was little and I'm not affected negatively by it at all.
FI is not comfortable with her seeing him at all, which I understand so he always keeps all doors closed when showering.
A majority of my DS's "baths"are with me in the shower, he could care less. He is with me when I get dressed,dry off, etc. I do try to cover the ladies up as soon as possible since we are working on weaning, but other than that I have no issues with it. My H on the other hand, is starting to have some issues with DS seeing him naked.
I grew up in a cover everything all the time house, but I feel our bodies are beautiful and our own and as long as we are comfortable changing, showering, etc. together, then we will do that. As soon as my DS expresses his need for privacy it will be respected.
Yes, almost everyday. We always take a kind of family bath every night (so long as DH comes home in time).
In general, I take a shower with DD (as she won`t stay with DH if I go in the shower), I shower, then shower DD, then the 2 of us get in the bath, if DH is home he then takes a shower and then he gets in the tub with DD and I get out dry off, once I am dry, I dry DD, and DH gets a few minutes to soak in the bath.
Our shower/bath is in the same built in space (imagine a large shower with a bathtub in it, so water splashing out of the bath just goes in the shower.
But bathing here is still a large part of the culture (hot springs). I think for other Japanese, a little girl will still bathe with her dad (or even go to the men`s side of the hot springs until perhaps kindergarten.
In general she doesn`t really pay too much attention to either one of us. If she looks at us its generally my breasts as I still BF her.
of course. and they see each other naked.
i will begin to show modesty when they begin to show modesty.
Alex does this. I walk around the house naked or at leaset in panites quite often. Alex will point and say Boobis but we dont think anything of it. He is still young and doesnt understand.
We all take showers together probably 2-3 times per week, he doesn't seem to have any idea what's going on.
My mom said I took showers with my dad until I started pointing at stuff.
He just saw me naked this morning while I was getting dressed.
I believe all family members see each other naked from time-to-time and that this is not a "problem". Two observations:
1) When a child starts becoming modest about their own body it's probably time for you to cover up as well.
2) For accidental viewings, I recommend maintaining calm and covering up as soon as possible WITHOUT making it look like any big deal.
In either situation there is usually an opportunity for discussion and, as we all know-communication is key!
