Neighbors walk around nude all the time

[Anonymous]

I think you should leave your blinds open and then sometime when they are in the yard and you are going to the car or the mailbox one of your kids will shout "look Mommy it's the naked people!"

That should alert the neighbors to the issue.

I agree with others that you do not make a big deal of it, is not going to be a problem for your kids. I have 5 and 8 year old DDs, they see us naked sometimes when we get in and out of the shower and never made any comment, a body is a body and there is nothing strange about it. last year I was with them on an island in Europe, and one day we walked to the rocks on the other side of the island. there were nudists there. close by we had a naked couple in their 70s', and on the other side a family with 3 teenagers (between 12 and 18 probably), all naked. my then 4 year old looked around and said "mom, they do not have a swuimsuit" and I looked and said that she was right and that was it. they spent their time loking for crabs, fish and see urchins, talked in the water with one of the nakes women, no issue whatsoever, and they did not even mention it to other family members when we saw them later in the evening, back from the beach. we went to the same place other times and they never flinched. unless these people masturbate in front of the windows or soemthing like that, it is not a big deal for your kids. you really should stop looking inside their windows, even the houses are close, you still are looking

No, Arlington.

Pimmit Hills? I knew it!

Please. You all know Pimmit Hills has huge lots; we can all walk around naked in our houses and in our shady back yards without fear of offending neighbors!

I don't know, I have a 5 year old and he is fine about seeing people naked in changing rooms or seeing DH and I naked when we change, but if our neighbors were constantly walking about the house naked and he could see it, no way he would be mature about it. Which, since he's 5, is probably not unreasonable.

How old are your kids? I wouldn't make a bid deal out of it with them-- they will probably notice once and then forget about it.

Your examples are very different than what the Op is describing, though. Nudists outside in neutral territory, parents dressing in front of their own small children in the privacy of their own homes....not the same thing. Op should be able to relax in her own home, look out her own window without being accused of voyeurism. It sounds as though these homes and these windows are very close together. Personally, I would probably want to cover the windows facing directly into my neighbor's windows regardless.

I wouldn't mind any question at all, but I am always afraid she will make some offensive comment or question regarding someone's else body like: "why does that woman has a big butt?" or something along those lines.

Anyway, my point is: open your blinds and live your life - are you going to keep your house in the dark forever?

However, I would not like to have people seeing me all the time (naked or not) and if your lots are that close, you might want to consider the bottom up/top down type of blinds. I have them because I live in the first floor of a condo and I love it! Before my blinds were always close because I hated being in the kitchen for instance and having people walking right in front of us with their dogs and see everything that was going on in my house.

Now, with the new blinds the top is always down half way through, so I have plenty of natural light but total privacy still.

NP here with a slight derail -- I am a fat woman and I have had young children make comments like, "Mama, that lady is so fat!" or "Mama, look at her big belly!", and I have never been offended. Children are usually just observing differences in body shape, completely innocently. They don't mean it in a pejorative way. I usually speak right up and say something like, "You're right, I am fat! It's very soft and cozy when I give hugs. People come in all shapes and sizes, isn't that neat?" and smile. And usually the child smiles back and it's all good. The only time it becomes uncomfortable is when the mom scolds the child for observing differences in how people look. It's the parent that assumes that "fat" is an insult rather than an innocent and accurate observation.

So if a child said, "Why does that lady have such a big butt?", I'd probably smile and say, "My mama had a big butt and so did her mama, too! I like it because it has lots of padding for when I sit down. Isn't it neat that people come in all shapes and sizes?" Please don't demonize fat people or make children afraid of us. It's okay for children to observe that people come in different shapes and sizes.

Pick a couple of the worst windows and ask if they'll put up privacy film.


Of course, they may find it titilating that they can be seen!

Perverts your children do NOT need to see, despite the perverts here minimizing the situation.

Grotesque, but keep the blinds closed or invest in some awesome privacy greenery. Safe boundaries= good for children.

Easy solutions:
1) brick up your neighbors windows while they are at work.
2) move.
3) brick up your own windows.
4) take a selfie of just your eye....take it to a store, blow up the pic to the size of your window, and, have it face the neighbors.
5) get a life.
choose carefully

PP here--Upon further reflection, I would interpret this as grooming behavior towards your kids. It's breaking down boundaries.
Read and learn.
Puke.

I would not care about kids seeing them, but I wouldn't want to look at them(yuck). But, it is their house, so really none of your business.

It is perverted for people to walk around naked in their own house? Do you shower fully clothed as well?

There was a similar case that was acquitted but because the man was 83 feet away but it was almost a guilty verdict if it was closer and with in eye contact.

Send that article to your neighbor.

I'm guessing OP also avoids taking her children to art museums. In my house, we would probably discuss their attributes, laugh, and then ignore them. So long as they weren't having sex.
