SIL in towel

Why is she wearing just a towel? Or what exactly are you saying? I can see my uncle, cousin or brother in a towel and not sexualize it cause we’re family. But to know that you’re not exaggerating, I need a better explanation 😅 btw. Happy Xmas ☺️

She had just had a shower, went on her phone then came downstairs because she 'needed a drink' but just started playing with my son and daughter. I don't understand why she wouldn't put her clothes on and come downstairs. I just feel like she does it for attention. In the past she's just walked around in her Knickers and a top. In my opinion, it's just unnecessary.

Very inappropriate. Towels should be and stay in the bathroom. She should have changed before. I’d text her or bring her to the side and tell her that she didn’t need to do that and you’d appreciate her wearing a clothes next time

I really don’t see the issue tbh. Family shouldn’t be sexualised in such a way. It’s her brother and blood niece and nephew!

I don’t see an issue at this point but a) if something slips out and b)when your kids are a bit older it will be inappropriate so she needs to start putting herself in clothing now 😂

Personally don’t see the issue really, if it’s around HER family and HER home Skin isn’t sexual it’s just the body

Nah. I pop my titty out in front of my in laws when I need to breastfeed and I pump in front of them shirtless sometimes lol.

Very inappropriate and weird to be doing that infront of her brother.

The stopping to play thing would be a bit odd to me but just grabbing a drink and going back to get dressed is normal imo - I wouldn’t cause a big fight about it but I would be put off

@Sam So you show your whole chest infront of your inlaws??

I don't see an issue? Why does everything have to have a hidden agenda?

Hmm. I would walk from the bathroom to my room in a towel in front of anyone in the family but if my niece and nephew asked me to play at that point I would tell them I’d be back once I’m dressed. But depends how old they are I guess, if they are super young and wouldn’t understand then maybe I would keep an eye on them in my towel until someone else came to take over

I think it’s an issue, blood or not. It would definitely make me uncomfortable. Growing up and still now, we don’t walk around with towels on. That’s meant for the bedroom and bathroom. She could’ve showered, got dressed and then played with your son or whatever.

I'm breastfeeding my child. There's nothing wrong with it unless you sexualize it. Breastfeeding and pumping are completely normal, at least for me it is. @Incognito

How old is your sil

@Emma I think the issue was that she was completely naked under the towel but I could be wrong

My Sil is 43 and yes she was naked under the towel

Im not sexualising it but I just think it's unnecessary when there are guests over.

Im fully aware that it's just a bit of skin but the point is it's inappropriate in my opinion. What if the towel slipped while she was playing? I think it's just social etiquette. Even though it's okay to see someone in a bikini doesn't mean it's okay to walk around in underwear for example?

If it’s inappropriate in your opinion why ask for the opinion of others? Or were you just looking for a place to shame your SIL?

@Emma it’s because a woman’s body is sexualised from a young age.

@Donna Woods if I thought it was appropriate, I obviously wouldn't post here about it. I was just asking for other opinions. Is that not allowed???

And to be clear, I'd post the exact same thing if a male was playing with my kids wearing just a towel
