Nudity in the house hold.

Well yes the kid is 3 he’s starting to differentiate from male and female, penis and vagina and boobs and nipples. My 6yr son still sees me naked, and we’ve had that talk many times, and he now knows “mummy is a girl, mummy has a vagina and boobs, daddy is a boy, daddy has a penis like me and….not boobs”. They’re learning. They will ask. Just because they ask though, doesn’t mean we have to start covering up. They’re asking because they’re curious and learning. What’s this. What’s that. Why mummy have boobs and not daddy. Etc He finds me and hubby kissing more ewwwww than seeing my boobs 😂 and when he doesn’t wanna see me naked anymore he’s free to not walk in my room when I’m naked after my shower doing my hair and makeup. Boys who grow up w their mums/sisters nudity don’t sexualise the female form, they just see it as a natural women’s body. In my Asian culture though sex and nudity is taboo, not shown/spoken of. I’m just more westernised I think.

I'm in a very similar situation as yours. The only difference here is that we definitely don't care about the boob thing. I teach him what private parts are and that he can't touch it and he is learning.... We don't hide bodies here. He even goes with me to the bathroom and used to see me changing the period cup and I explain to him what it is as something completely NORMAL. Because it is super normal and part of things we have to teach our kids about instead of hiding it. I would be very curious as why your husband thinks it's inappropriate for a 3 year old to see boobs...

I grew up with a naked mom. I think it’s normal. I stopped once my oldest turned 3 though because I couldn’t take all the questions. I get it’s normal but for me it was annoying.

He could be. But idk. People grow up with naked parents. I personally find it inappropriate and I don’t think kids should see their parents naked. Unless obviously they are in the shower and a toddler walks in or changing quickly or like breastfeeding another baby. I think if you are breastfeeding and whip out a boob that’s fine. But like walking around without a shirt. Eh maybe not so fine. I’ve walked around in bra and underwear before and right now it’s not a big deal. But it probably will be as they get older. But it’s up to you. I think your husband is right in the way where you shouldn’t just walk around naked. And if your toddler is still trying to hold on or grab your boob and you aren’t breastfeeding him then I think it’s time to start setting boundaries so there’s not a constant jealousy for your toddler and the baby. I think that’s mostly what needs to be fixed. Not the pulling out the boob. Just the jealousy your toddler has

I don’t think your husband is jealous, he probably just wants you to be a little more modest for ex In our family, we believe it’s important to model modesty to our children as they grow we want them to learn healthy boundaries and privacy, to respect their bodies and the bodies of others because of that we choose not to walk around naked infront of our children.

I don’t know that I’d say it’s jealousy, but maybe he’s uncomfortable having those conversations with your son. Which is a bridge he’ll eventually have to cross, he’s gonna have to have hard conversations as a parent.

I’m like you. I obviously wear clothes around the house, but if I’m in my room and I wanna be dressed down I am. That’s my safe space. If my kid walks in and sees me naked…. Oh well?? He’s almost 4. Again, it’s not like I’m all throughout the house naked and making people look at me.

And I agree with others saying him seeing you breastfeeding your other child shouldn’t be an issue.

I think you just need to try to have another conversation with your husband. He just needs to be honest about what he’s feeling or what’s going on in his head so y’all can come to an understanding.
