Does your LO see you/your DH naked?

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?

  • not all the time but sometimes DS will shower with either DH or I

  • When one of us is home alone with DD, we will shower while she is in the bathroom. We keep toys in there to keep her occupied. She will see DH naked while he is drying off and getting dressed. He hasn't gotten self-conscious about it yet; I expect it won't be an issue anytime soon.
  • I know that DD has seen DH naked and I'm not worried about it. I'm sure at some point we will stop allowing Tegan to see DH naked, mainly to help teach her modesty, but for now, I see nothing wrong with her seeing him naked.

  • DH and I were just discussing this the other day... DD still sees both him and I naked, like when getting out of the shower.  We're not too sure when she'll be too old for this, but for right now, she doesn't seem to notice anything.  I'd be interested in hearing opinions/comments about this.

  • Yeah. All the time. I sometimes even shower with him. Oh, the horrors!
  • Yep. DD sees DH naked every morning when he gets out of the shower. At this age, she doesn't know the difference.

  • I take baths with DS about one a week, and because I sleep naked if he gets up early I usually don't bother getting dressed. Once he turns two or so I know I'll have to start wearing a little more around him, but for now I'm going to enjoy my freedom while I can. On that note. DS is also naked a lot too.
  • DS sees both of us naked pretty regularly.  He loves to play peek-a-boo with the shower curtains when either of us are in there.  It doesn't faze any of us, and DS doesn't really pay much attention to our privates, other than to point out "mommy's boobs" very matter-of-factly.  
  • 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.

  • To be honest, she still takes about 90% of her baths with one of us. We do wear swimsuits in the bath (because she's grabby - she especially likes to grab my boobs, and not gently). But she sees us naked taking the suits off and on. I don't think it's a big deal.

  • 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.

  • Yes. A regularly gets her bath by either me or DH taking her in the shower with us. DH has made no mention of being self-conscious about her seeing him naked. At this point, she has no comprehension of nudity or modesty. I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Yep.  He stands by the shower and babbles to us in the mornings and hangs out in our bedroom with us while we get ready.  Not terribly concerned about it.

  • Yep, that they do.  Well they see me naked anyway since DH is gone.  Riley likes to point and laugh and say, "boobies!" and Nathan doesn't seem to notice anything at all.  I figure when one of us starts to feel uncomfortable about it we'll put a stop to it, but for now it's whatever.  It's all just body parts.  Plus they see each other naked all the time and are already well aware that they have different parts, and it's just so normal to them that I don't see them making a big deal out of me or DH naked for a while yet. 
  • Yep...both of us and we don't see the problem.
  • 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.

  • Yes.  I am just becoming reserved about it with DS1 who is 3.5 years old.
    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
  • I let him see me from the waist down but I still hide the jugs from him because I recently weaned him and DO NOT want him to be reminded of nursing.

  • 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, both DH and I after we get out of the shower or in the middle of the nght when she's crying, one of us might wonder in her room in the buff to calm her down.  It's no big deal at this time.
  • We both change or shower/dry off in front of ds alot and dont see a problem. We will for as long as possible. I dont want him to be ashamed of his body or feel it needs to be hidden in his own home.

  • 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.

  • DS doesn't see DH naked, but he sees me nakefd if he is upstairs when I get out of the shower.

    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.

  • All the time. What am I going to do with him? I really don't think about it and I'm not going to make it weird for any of us, because it's not and I don't want him to think naked is weird...
  • Quite frequently. At this point I really don't see there to be an issue with it, I mean, my mother and I still see each other naked when she is over. It's pretty normal for us to change together or whatever, but Mason being a boy once he is at the age to understand I probably will cover myself up more. I grew up pretty comfortable with nudity in general and I want him to be comfortable in his own skin as well.
  • Yep, quite often. We take showers all together a lot. He pokes my nipple and I just say, "Mommy's breast be gentle" or if he grabs DH's penis he will say, "Daddy's penis for going potty. Nice touches''. It really isnt a big deal. To him a breast, penis, or vagina is no different than an elbow, knee, or finger (as it should be, they are all just body parts).
  • 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.

  • Cedric will see me as I am getting dressed I also take showers with him sometimes.  DH takes baths with him.  So yes, he sees us naked, not that we walk around naked in front of him.

  • Not everyday but yes DS sees both me and DH naked.  I sometimes shower with DS so he sees me naked more often than DH.  No biggie!

  • Yes, pretty much each day (like every morning when they are playing in our bedroom and we're getting dressed for work). We don't make it a big deal because we don't think it's a big deal.  ::shrugs ::   I have two boys.
  • Of course they do.
  • He just saw me naked this morning while I was getting dressed.

  • Yes. DS is going through a no bath phase, but he loves to shower.  He takes showers with both my husband and I.  It's not a big deal.

  • 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!

  • Yes, and DH still bathes with the baby.  I don't think it's an issue yet.  
  • Yep, and i think its almost time to nip that in the bud. Shes already obsessed with mommies boobies.. i do not need her to talk about daddies Pee Pee!
