Do your sons walk around without shirts on outside or inside?

I think walking around in underwear and shirtless is for toddlers at most and then it’s time to become a member of polite society and wear a full set of clothes - or at least pjs - around the house and to the table.

For me as an adult this was a deal breaker and I dumped more than one manchild who expected to walk around the house in his undershorts.

My little brothers did the same thing but I wasn't traumatized by it. Siblings see everything and get used to it. Something else very weird must have been going on in your house.

Yup, my son's are always in just their shorts.

Occasionally comes out of bedroom for help buttoning but otherwise is only topless at a pool or beach.

My husband and three sons always have a shirt on.

I don’t do this but I couldn’t be with someone who wants to dictate what I wear in my own home when relaxing, so I’m sure it was mutual.

Wow, this just goes to show how different kids are. I haven’t seen my son’s chest in years, he’s just a private kind of guy. He wears a rash guard swimming, too. I hope he doesn’t have a complex about his body – I think he just prefers to be covered up!

They don’t but I wouldn’t require a shirt either.

I'm a pp whose son is often shirtless at home, but he also wears a rash guard every time he swims, even in an indoor pool. It's just what he's used to!

My boys(14,16)are shirtless all the time.

If you're OK with your daughters doing it, then you should be okay with your sons.

I grew up in a household that judged others as low class for those behaviors - everyone wore clothes, even to breakfast (no PJs downstairs after 10 years old). I'm not sure I think it's just a LC thing, but I do run my household similarly- clothes must be worn inside and out. Men can go shirtless for swimming with the full warning of skin cancer and the fact that swim shirts have spf

Yes, clothing is required for everyone.

I am not the PP you’re responding to but my reaction was “not fat, just know how to behave appropriately.”

Please do your sons’ future female partners a service and teach them how to wear shirts in the house. There are so many women who complain about the fact that their husbands think primarily of themselves / their own comfort instead of their wives or kids, and just do what they want to do and it is obvious to me that this mindset starts from childhood.

You’re working on teaching that uptight stick in the reader mindset to your kids eh?

We are an all shirt on household except when in your room. It’s respect to the females in the house.
