Daughter is 5 and we still both change in front of her. Daddy has a “front tail” when we’re changing at swimming she does ask rather loudly when will she get big boobs like mummy 😂
I don't mind changing in front of female friends or my sister or mum, so probably wouldn't mind changing in front of my daughter at any age. I would stop changing in front of a son if I had one. Not sure what age, maybe primary school age
@Maisie hahaha front tail is actually more hilarious than just saying penis 😂😂😂
I know! I love kids minds. The things they come up with it brilliant! X
I think we won’t stop changimg infront of children… like my mum and aunts didnt stop breastfeeding in fromt of me or their nephews and sons as they got older. I think it helps boys to not think of female bodies in weird ways if they just see naked mum all the time
I’m just assuming at some point they will feel awkward about it and stop walking in on me when I’m getting changed, showering or going to the toilet. 😂 Our kids are still young though. They bath together so they know what a penis and vulva are.
I remember seeing my parents naked growing up and it didn’t have any lasting effects on me so I’m not too worried. I think naturally at puberty I stopped being so care free and became more aware of my body and wanted to cover up/not see parents naked anymore.
I will stop when and if they tell me they are not comfortable with it. I have two girls 7 and 21 months, I think if I had boys it would be different but I don’t see an issue with my girls seeing their mum naked unless they’re not comfortable. They have never seen their dad naked, only in boxers, my 7 year old does know daddy has different bits, she’s never seen it though. I think my mum told my 7 year old off for walking out of the bathroom still pulling up everything when my nephews, brother and dad are often there and told her only mummy and Nannie’s should be seeing that now so she has started being a bit more private about getting dressed herself now though.
Me and my bf both change and shower in-front of my daughter she’s almost 5 and very smart. She’s knows a lot abt our anatomy and I’ve always told her straight up the name for things if she asks. I feel no shame in it and she shouldn’t either!!
It’s nearly impossible with small children to maintain some form of modesty. We don’t really change in front of them. Doesn’t stop them from needing the toilet when we have a bath or walking in when we are changing. Or changing together when going swimming until they are comfortable enough to go in their own cubicle.
Hard one. I put primary school age, but literally depends on how the kids are. Feel like be late primary. Maybe when they don’t like it, feel like my son will be like ew mum at some point 😂. Whereas my daughter probably won’t care as much. Just whatever they are comfortable with x
He’s 5 and still walks in on me naked not that I walk around naked but I do my hair and makeup naked (waiting for my moisturiser and tanner to dry) at my vanity table and he comes in sits on my bed chats to me and cracks it when I tell him to leave 💁🏻♀️😂 so I don’t (tell him to leave) anymore. I figure he’ll stop walking in when he gets uncomfortable. He’s not there yet. Aka uncomfortable.
I frequently run to the laundry room to grab something without clothes on. My kids have doors and are perfectly capable of closing the door or going to another floor
Clicked naked family by mistake. I think now’s the time to stop being naked in front of her

I live alone with my son so it’s pretty impossible to shower, get changed etc without him getting involved but I don’t just walk around the house naked (just because I don’t, not because I don’t want him to see) It’s up to him when he decides he wants to stop coming into my room. I don’t have an issue with him questioning our differences, in fact I think it’s a great learning experience for him.
There isn’t a reason a father can’t be naked infront of his very young child? As you say, tell her the names for his anatomy if she’s noticing the difference, but I don’t see why he wouldn’t be allowed to undress/dress infront of her, simply because he has a penis. I personally wouldn’t be concerned, kids say silly stuff all the time. Don’t see how it’s any different to me dressing/undressing infront of my young sons, the eldest of which is aware I have different genitals.
