  I am an only child and it was just me and her for a realllly long time so she will still completely change in front of me to this day. Since I had a boy, i will probably stop complete nakedness when he is kindergarten age.

  Exactly this. Except there was me and my sister and I had a girl. Not sure what'll happen there just yet. But I'm comfortable with either. She has the same parts I do.

  My mom was always totally comfortable with nudity around my sister and me our entire lives, although it tended to make me uncomfortable when I was a little older. My mom used to take showers with me and I asked about a billion questions about why her body looked different from mine. I think that's probably a good thing, gives kids an idea of what happens when they become adults. I do vaguely remember seeing my dad naked as a kid (I don't think he realized I was in the room) and I feel a little scarred as a result ;-)

  DH already feels a little uncomfortable being naked in front of DD. I think he'll probably make an effort to cover up in the next couple of months, but for now he doesn't care and neither do I.

  I would say somewhere around preschool age is probably the latest for opposite sex, and maybe another year or two for same sex. I remember taking showers with both my parents, but I have some random memories back all the way to being one and a half, so although I'm not exactly sure how old I was, I certainly was in preschool yet. And to clarify, the only time I showered with my dad was one time when my mom was away on some emergency with my brother, and he was watching me all day long.
  
  I'm very modest in some ways, but nudity has never really bothered me, and I don't want to raise my children to be ashamed of their bodies or have weird hang ups. DH thought it was really weird when one of our friends said that he would bring his 18 month old boy in the shower with him...he thought it was inappropriate, but now that we have a 20 month old, he's changed his tune and has realized that it's not a big deal and is sometimes the only way to get out of the house.

  My family is pretty open  about everything.  Mom always changed in front of us, she still does and I don't care if I change in front of her.  And she never closed the bathroom door.  My stepdad will go around in his T-shirt and tighty whities with no pants...my teenage sister also doesn't wear pants around the house all the time.  No one cares.

  I was wondering this just yesterday as I was drying my hair sans clothes while DS was sitting in the bathroom in his bouncy seat. I decided as soon as they are aware of boy vs girl I will stop doing that. My guess it will probably be in about a year or so.

  This is exactly how my family is too.   Pretty much word for word.  I'll be the same way with Aria--I don't care about changing in front of her or going to the bathroom in front of her.  Obviously I wouldn't go out of my way to do either, but I'm not ashamed of my body and I don't want her to be either.

  I've never been naked around my son and I think it's going to stay that way.  I don't remember my mom getting naked in front of me either.

  My mom went fully naked in front of me and my bros forever....she also was the lady that wouldn't cover up in the swimming pool locker room so obviously she was crunchy like that. I do not recall ever seeing my dad naked and I am thankful for that.

  This was my family too... Plus, my mother wouldn't even close the bathroom door at home if it's just us, even to this day!  I like the openness, but maybe not THAT open!!  I'm still deciding on that, although DH was raised by a single mom so probably has a stronger opinion on this.

  Probably when they are much older. I bathe with dd1 and she loves it! It is super fun and helps on nights when baths are a struggle!!!

  Who knows.  With DS, he still sees me naked and I will not be covering up anytime soon especially since I'm BFing! He takes a shower with DH still.  It's not uncomfortable and we see no issue with nakedness.  But it will be interesting to see if this attitude changes with DD. not so much with me since we have the same parts  but with DH and DS.  I can't imagine them covering up until she's older like three or four.

  For those that say they don't ever want LO to see them naked or that they are going to stop within the next year or so:
  
  1. What are you going to do if you are alone with LO and need to change, go to the bathroom, shower, etc? It doesn't seem practical or even possible in most cases.
  
  2. Why would you think it would be an issue for an infant or young toddler to see their parents naked?
  
  I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just curious what the reasoning is because it never entered my mind that there would be a problem with it for such young babies.

  I leave Alice in a room by herself now.  She's strapped into a bouncer, but I'm not always in the same room with her.  I'm not sure what the difference would be if I'm in the bathroom by myself or if I'm changing clothes. 

  In my family we are just very modest.  Nakedness wasn't something to be shared with the kids.  Just the way we were raised.  It wasn't ever a YOU SAW ME NAKED!!!  THE DEVIL IS IIIINNN YYYOOOOUUUUU type of deal.  It was just a "Mommy needs to change clothes.  Stay in here and try not to burn the house down" thing.
