Husband is weird about our son being naked

Also, I definitely make sure he’s fully clothed if w have anyone over, this is strictly just during the early mornings when he’s lounging around after breakfast.

I don’t see a problem with your son being naked in your own house when only his mum and dad are present! I’d be concerned that he’ll grow up to be ashamed or embarrassed of his privates if that’s how his dad is treating him and would be worried that he wouldn’t be able to talk to you about any concerns or issues he might have. My only thing would be making sure he’s potty trained, I wouldn’t be letting son go without anything on for that that reason only 😂

If they are home just tell him that he needs and underwear so when it’s time that he really needs clothes he doesn’t make a fuss over it and I think your husband is over reacting

I think sometimes men don’t understand these developmental stages their kids are at. Like when my son was a year and a half my husband asked “so do we need to keep applying desitin?” I could tell it made him uncomfortable to do it. He just doesn’t understand I think bc he’s not the default parent like us the moms usually are. I guess just keep reassuring him it’s normal for kids to want to be naked (in a safe environment). They’ll grow out of it obviously.

I don’t see a problem with it in the slightest. My little boy is too young at the moment but as he gets older if he wants to run around in his own home naked with his mum and dad then that’s absolutely what he will do. I would be careful with your husbands outlook, you don’t want your son to have body hang ups or feel ashamed of his body

Maybe just me but I don’t see why children need to be naked, my son always has at least his nappy and/or vest on. Your husband is overreacting tho and your son will grow to feel like his ‘areas’ are weird by his reaction.

he is pretty much fully potty trained besides at night.

I appreciate everyone’s point of views! I understand some families don’t operate that way, my family was pretty conservative that way, but my little brother ran around naked until he was like 5 because they just couldn’t keep clothes on his butt 😅 I also think our son has level 1 autism and certain sensations bother him A LOT.

My bother would do this, I don’t remember him doing it but my mum talks about how he’d have a shower or bath and then after that he would sit in front of the heater for a while naked then he’d eventually get dressed he would have been about 3 when he was doing this.
My 1 year old often has nappy free time for a bit after or before showers I don’t see the issue they are in the comfort and privacy of there own home, as long as they know it’s only when they are at home with just mum and dad then I think they should be supported, eventually he will grow out of it.

After showering free time is normal but at breakfast or after, even at home, I think hubby is over dramatic, but correct. Basically learned behavior. You don't want him stripping in school after breakfast, so underwear around the house is normal.
Your hubs doing too much though. Unless he was joking.

I think your husband is overreacting, but I agree with him that kids should have clothes on. I usually take my kids’ clothes off (minus diaper) for mealtime, so they sometimes hang out in just a diaper before and after meals. But I don’t let them run around completely naked. If you think clothes and undies could be uncomfortable, maybe look for adaptive clothing without seams?

I think your husband is right but is approaching the situation irrationally. You need to teach your 3 old that he cant be naked because his private area is a part of his body that should not be visible and should be protected. If you normalise this at home then he will not understand that its not okay for anyone else to see his private parts. God forbid this is how a child may not understand he is being abused by a family member, friend stranger etc.

I think it completely fine as he's only 3, my 2yr old does it now an again he's potty trained but not at night just yet. They definitely do start to realise that it's something they don't want hanging about my 5ye old nephew doesn't allow anyone to see now but his mother . I think it's all personal opinions really, but just do what u thinks best he's only three an it's just what boys do as for my 5 year old cousin who's ALWAYS been covered up doesn't even understsnd why it's there as he's never had it out.

My brother when he was that age rode around on a toy motorcycle butt naked just cowboy boots on it’s not a big deal I think they shouldn’t be embarrassed or ashamed of being naked that little just only be naked in a safe environment.
