Is it weird if i walk around the house in my bra and underwear in front of my young daughter?

I was telling someone recently that I walk around my house in my underwear most of the time because I don't like being too warm and my husband loves to keep the heat up. I'm also 11 w pregnant so I'm just a lot warmer temp wise then I usually am. I have a daughter who will be 2 in July, and for that reason that person said I was weird.

Not at all. I do the same. Ppl will always have their opinions tho but don’t let that dictate how you view it!

I’m wandering around in a bra right now with a 2.5 yo. I’m breastfeeding, it’s warm, I’m cleaning and doing things. She’s a baby still and more importantly, she’s a girl!

I do not want my girl to have the body issues I had growing up. Maybe seeing her mother naturally around the house, marks and all, will give her the confidence us 90s kids with slimfast mums didn’t have. My mum was always covered up and calling herself fat; VHS aerobics, slimming word, slimfast, weight watchers. I saw a healthy body and was taught that was disgusting.

My girl doesn’t even bat an eyelid when I’m topless and feeding her brother. It’s not weird at all ❤️

Not weird but I have to ask, what temp is your house that you can even do this?😅

Avatar

haha exactly! I don’t think this is weird at all but it’s too expensive to have the heating set that high these days! I’m wearing a jumper with a nursing vest underneath so I can keep warm while feeding 😂

lol my husband likes to keep the temp at 76°f which is a bit warmer than I like to be 😂😂

I’d like to hear from the people who voted for “Yes that’s weird” 🥴. Please explain!

Oh my god that’s insanity no wonder you’re in your underwear!! 21c (70f) is my limit and even then my socks have to come off and I’m changing into a vest top 😂
I wouldn’t be able to function in 76F indoors!!

I get in the bath with my 3 year old girl never once have I thought this is weird x

Not weird in the slightest. Children aren't bothered by bodies when they're young unless you make it that way. My oldest is 5 and she'll walk in on me getting dressed and not bat an eyelid as she chats my ear off lol x in summer I'll walk round the house in a bralette and shorts if it's hot. X

Granted I have a 2 yo son but when he stops following me to the bathroom to sit on my lap I’ll worry about pants needing to be on.

I second this 🤣 I have a son and still don’t think it’s weird! He’s a baby!

Avatar

same at all lol the literally came out of my body and if humans had a pouch like kangaroos I think he’d be back in it. I’ve recording both of my kids banging on the door like I left them forever. Can’t wait to show them someday

Not weird at all. I do the same with my daughter. I believe it helps them to grow up feeling more comfortable in their own skin ❤️

My mom walked around the house in a bra and underwear until I started bringing boyfriends around 😂😂

It’s okay if she finds it weird because there are people out there who think it’s weird and that’s okay doesn’t make her wrong. But it’s totally fine if you choose to do that in your own house behind closed doors it’s your house so you do as you wish. “Weird” is subjective to every household what’s weird in one house is not weird in another.

I only wear underwear around the house but it's just my husband and our 7 month son that I breastfeed. Once he's older like 3 or so I will cover up. I think you can go longer since you have a daughter.

I grew up in a ‘naked’ household, my mum would be quite free and open and I think that helped me with body confidence. I do it now and I think it helps my daughter to see different body shapes etc

Avatar

If I had daughters only I’m thinking that I would walk around naked in front of them probably up to the age of 8 as in cooking naked/ relaxing etc up until they’re a tween. My mom was nude around her daughters even as an adult but at a certain point she did make an effort to cover up as we aged and became tweens / teens adults and older. But to answer the question for me personally it’s no it’s not weird but for some it may be

My daughters are 6 and 3. I walk around with just an over sized top on in the evenings

I don’t think it’s weird. My mum used to wander around naked not all the time mainly just in the morning before she got dressed. I think I have a healthy relationship with my body and being naked and it’s probably because she was also so comfortable!

Avatar

Weird in the sense of what do you do if someone knocks the door 😂 but not weird infront of your daughter at all I think it’s totally normal
