[quote=Anonymous]In our house it’s trying to uphold minimal standards. If you can be seen by someone outside our household, you must be dressed - shirt, pants/shorts. If the doorbell rings and the pizza guy is here, throw on a shirt. My son loves to wander around in underwear and a blanket (which was a concessions from when he was a small child and just loved to run around naked - one of the first sayings he was taught was ‘must wear under wear’). I never let him go outside in just a diaper, either, and if you’re letting your older boy outside in underpants, that’s not okay. Social norms don’t just start happening without a push. It’s the entire concept of unseen privilege - some people wind up at a disadvantage because they just didn’t know which fork to use, or whatever. Shirtless is not quite as bad as underwear, but it’s noticed. Your husband is right.[/quote]
