When do sons develop any modesty around mom?

Anonymous
My boys have no problem stripping naked in front of me to take a shower. Just curious about when that might change?

Unless you’re Dutch or German, in which case the answer is probably 55.

That is not normal. How old are they?

My 6ty grader still couldn’t care less! No puberty yet...

I haven’t seen my 7th grade DS any less dressed than a swimsuit in at least 3 or 4 years.

My son recently has started to show some modesty at age 5. He'll still change in front of me most of the time, but sometimes covers his penis so I can't see it.

One of my sons did this at 5, and another one still asks me to put desitin on his rashes at 9.

My 9 year old/4th grader still prances about with no shyness.

My 10 year old has gone through periods of modesty over the years, like when he became aware that I shut my bedroom door when I change. For a while after that he’d insist on privacy in the bathroom, and would cover himself if I came in the room. But then he swings back to not caring, which is where he is now.
