[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with older parents who didn’t say I love you but were otherwise loving parents, with pretty firm boundaries. I don’t think I ever saw my dad naked and remember vaguely bathing with my mom up to age 4 or 5 but never after that. I’m not a prudish person but I do cover myself after showering, unless I’m just with dh or alone. Dh does similarly.

Somehow, my kids seem to have inherited a “nudist gene” from somewhere. They regularly hang out naked before and after bath time/when getting dressed or in pajamas, around me, my husband, babysitter and each other. It’s not an “issue” per se but I wonder if/when it might become one. My oldest is 12 and hasn’t really started puberty yet, but at what point should she stop being naked around her younger brother? Other sibs are 9 (girl) and 7 (boy). They all share a bathroom and sometimes still shower together. Should I be putting a stop to it? I definitely don’t want to give any of my kids body issues, or tell them that their bodies need to be covered up (they have no issues covering up/wearing clothing in all public spaces and even downstairs in our home), as they know to cover up in public. But could this become an issue as they get older?[/quote]

Now, is the time.[/quote]
