Ok guys simple question,I've got 2 kids ,daughter aged 6 and son aged 2.
obviously in the past i've done the dad sharing a bath scenario. probably about a year ago with son and daughter etc.

Usually I'm not bothered about walking around upstairs after a bath/shower start bk naked,but was wondering when do you start considering ,especially daughters more then sons when to be more discreet at home and make an issue over nudity.

I can't honestly recall what happened when I was growing up and whether parents decide when doors remain closed etc.

Probably when one of your kids mentions seeing your doodle at school and social services arrive to drop the P bomb on you!

Cover up or lock them up!!! wink

I don't think you can put a time on it....

You will know in your own mind when the time is right to "cover up".......

Simple as that.

I think the fact that you're doubting it now gives a signla that you're likely to stop soon.

Seriously, do it for your kids sanity. I'm 16 and my parents still insist on walking around in their underwear. It's HORRIBLE. And they won't listen to me, they say I'm being prudish!

If you're kids ask you to cover up then do what they ask.

I think it's up to your kids. My folks have never had any qualms about nudity and still don't - my Dad will quite happily hit the garden in the buff when the weather's good. It was embarassing when I was a teenager, and on occasion when I brought a girlfriend home unannounced, but largely I don't have any problems with it.
The only issue IMO is that of embarassing your kids - there's nothing actually wrong with nudity and I think far too many people are hung up on it. Keeping it as entirely normal may well be a rather healthy thing in the long run.

My dad once answered the door to one of my friends wearing a slightly not-long-enough t-shirt and nothing else.

As long as you feel comfortable, go ahead. Nakedness shouldn't be such an issue.

On another note, my stepdad used to walk around the house naked.... Not good. Real parents - OK - step parents Don't go there. Especially not walking into your room when you have a few mates round start bk naked asking 'have you seen the weather outside? It's wonderful!' Yes, and now my friends have seen your cock. Go away.

The father of an ex of mine used to (apparently) walk around upstairs only stark bk naked and always had done. She asked him repeatedly to not do it, but he didn't listen.

All I can say is thank fk I didn't wonder upstairs when he was doing that!! Nice Guy!!

Cheers

Depends. When I go to saunas in Germany, especially the weekend, there are sometimes whole families there on a day out. Mum, dad, kids and grandparents. It's not really a big deal. Just carry on as normal and let it become one of your eccentricities. Your kids will be embarressed for a few years around the difficult ages but they will eventually get over it.

I would suggest that now is the time you begin to cover up.

If there is enough doubt in your mind to start a thread about it then it may be the right time for you.

My daughter when aged about 5 told her nursery teacher 'my dads willy is very heavy'. Oh, how we laughed.

Turns out she 'thought it must be quite heavy'.

Thing is not to make an issue of nudity, but showing some discretion when they're school age is probably not too prudish.

OOPS!

Could see how that might be a bit embarassing

If you go by my experience, its when your friends nickname your dad 'naked hairy gorilla man'

Never stopped him doing it though!
