**Boy Moms** naked in front of your little boys

My son is only a yr and 2 months old, still breastfeeds so I’m naked around him a lot during mornings and after I put my 3.5yr old to bed.

I think it’s fine to be naked up until school age or he/you gets uncomfortable with it, whichever comes first.

Im a mom of 3 boys. My oldest is 8 so he’s the one that’s been through all the stages with me and when I was a single mom. I had no other choice then to always bring him into the bathroom with me to keep an eye on him and it was just easier for me to also shower with him since I wasn’t able to have quiet showers in my own. I stopped showering with him around 4 years old I believe when he started to ask questions and I gladly answered them. He knows about women’s periods, breastfeeding, pregnancy difficulties etc etc. He is now older and obviously showers alone and I do not purposely walk around him naked but he loooooves to talk my ear off and will always come in my room when I’m getting ready. My other two are babies but I plan to do the exact same with them as my oldest has grown up to be a considerate and informed male that does not get grossed out by women’s anatomy/issues

Until he’s uncomfortable with it or says otherwise, I get ready in the morning with him in our room and I’m undressing from pj’s to day clothes and I walk around naked getting ready for the shower which he showers with me or his dad (sons choice); he isn’t ready to wash himself yet and our water bill would be horrendous if he was alone as he likes to play with the shower head🚿

My son is 17 and the least amount of clothing I wear around him is little shorts with a sports bra when it's too hot. When he and my oldest were younger I was single but we would have naked days again when it was too hot but it just meant boxers for him little shorts and a sports bra for my daughter and the same for me.
I now have a ss and when he's over I always wear a tank top and biker shorts or leggings when he's over

Totally understand and it was so much easier when it was ok but When I asked her paediatrician she said generally around school age. So about five or six.
Hope that helps

I've never been naked around my son, nor has my husband. Even when he was a month old, I put on a bathing suit to get in the bath with him. Neither my husband nor I have seen our parents naked. As a teen, I hated when my mom would answer her bedroom door in a bra and underwear. I accepted that I'd have to be okay with peeing in front of my kid, but that's as far as I am comfortable. Unfortunately, I think it's caused a problem, my son (6) is now so curious about seeing me naked. He had a meltdown last week when I went into my bathroom to change after he promised he'd keep his eyes covered while I changed in the bedroom with him. I know my crafty little child, he wouldn't have kept his eye covered. I'm just not comfortable with nudity of any kind. Im soooooo annoyed my son doesn't want to bath, change and wipe himself yet! I can't wait for the day I never see my kid naked again.

My son is 1, i have showered with him and gotten out of the shower to quickly change into clothes. I dont just walk around naked cos im not comfortable naked 😂😂 or i would. but ive seen my mom naked plenty of time. ive seen my dad naked by accident. However my brothers have seen my mom naked and dont mind. My bf sees his his mom naked til this day and it doesnt bother him. Maybe its a caribbean thing.

no hate, but don't you think that might cause further issues later in life? Maybe even body confidence issues or obsession issues as an older child? Having a meltdown because he couldn't watch you change is definitely a little concerning. again no hate, just curious if you might have considered this and/or how you might address this.

Her response indicated that he has responded in ways that may have led him to be more curious. And that she feels her handling of this may have caused a problem.

I appreciate everyone’s response here and am in no way placing judgement on anyone and don’t want people to use this post to place judgement on others. If we take a premise to judge others, then those individuals will be less inclined to share later on. I personally appreciate for being so open and even admitting that her views on nudity may have caused issues. It was probably the most vulnerable response left and I appreciate her response very very much.

Seeing everyone’s responses have been very enlightening and very much appreciated. Thank you all!

Imo I see no problem with it! I have 3 boys and a daughter and I’ve been naked in front of all of them until they got older and started asking questions.

@Alex yeah, I realize now it might be a problem but I have no idea how to solve it. I thought I was doing pretty good in terms of a "sex positive" environment and open dialog. He has 5 or 6 sex, body positivity, consent, etc books, even one called "It's not Rude to be Nude." Lol...we read that the night of the melt down and I tried to explain that my childhood makes nudity an uncomfortable thing for me. Best I could do in the moment. I'm probably going to reach out to my therapist and see what she says.

I grew up with a naked family, I’ve seen pretty much every female in my family naked at least once. I grew up seeing the human body whether male or female as just a human body, nothing sexual about it or gross or weird. I am the same way with my son, we shower together, I still sleep naked and when he’s old enough to ask questions about human anatomy, I’ll be more than happy to answer them! Once he gets older I’ll obviously be a little bit more conservative about my nakedness but I won’t be super weird or awkward about my naked body around him.
