Partner refuses to change in front of our daughter

I’m not sure what to think of this, but our partner just left the room to go change his pants in the bathroom because he didn’t want to change in front of our little girl. I feel like this is a really illogical thing to do. I know she’s still little but she needs to learn about boys and girls at some point, and I want it to not be a big deal in our house. I’m not at all saying we should be nudist or anything like that, but I want to raise her with an open and honest understanding about our bodies. I just don’t understand because if we had a little boy instead, would he be concerned about me changing in front of him? I doubt it 🙄 How do your partners deal with this kind of thing?

My partner changes in front of our little girls 2 years & 6 months. However he has to change quickly as my oldest thinks it’s funny and will laugh. She knows that boys have penises and girls have vaginas and boobies. We were swimming about 3 months old and we’re getting changing and my husband was naked and she pointed & shouted penis at the top of her voice. So funny! 🤣 I want her to know the correct names for body parts. Also I don’t see anything wrong with my partner getting undressed/ dressed in front of our babies x

My partner is exactly the same with our little girl. He thinks it’s weird for our girl to see him naked. I think it stems from him never seeing his mum and dad get changed when he was younger, they would always change away from him. Where as me and my parents were always very open so it doesn’t feel strange to me to change infront of our girl xx

My partner does the same x

I think if makes him uncomfortable don’t urge the situation more. Maybe he just didn’t experience stuff like that when he was a kid and that’s okay!

My partner doesn’t get changed in front of me I think it’s just a habit more than an absolute refusal but he takes his clean pants into the shower and changes in the shower. He used to be in the army with communal showers and be out on exercise so I don’t think it’s a shy thing. I’m the opposite I’ll get changed wherever but I think it’s personal preference and whatever he chooses is fine also it’s going to change with societal norms as well xx
