I’m leaving for work this morning so I go to my daughters room to give her a kiss. I open the door and she squeals and tries to cover her non-existent goodies.
I had a huge grin on my face all the way in. I guess I really should start knocking on her door now.
Sounds about right.
My kids just love hearing how I once changed their dirty diapers all the time. I think you should bring this up too.
Anyone else relieved Cesario no longer posts here?
My 8 year old son doesn’t want you to see him change clothes, but he has no issue with jumping into the bathtub with us if he discovers mom & dad in the jacuzzi tub.
Removing clothing - bad
Naked - bad
Water involved? OK
Not as relieved as I’ll be when people stopping bringing him up.
Didn’t intend to start a pedo-war, just a little throwaway incident that struck me funny.
That’s just about the right time. My six year old is getting a little bit shy about her body already with her mama! And I breastfed her until she was 3.5 so it’s hard to imagine any modesty at all between us.
It’s sweet and a little sad knowing it’s the time they start pulling away.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean my response to Freudian Slit to go any further than it went.
Your OP was funny. Kids grow up when you least expect it!
That’s why they get embarrassed. They know you’re laughing at them.
I should be so lucky. Both of my girls (10 and 6) routinely run around the bedroom floor of the house either naked or in underwear. When I ask the older ones tell me not to worry and she promises to stop when she grows boobs.
Oh my head.
I can remember, at the beach girls didn’t wear tops until they were at least 8 or 9. They looked like little boys except for longer hair. There was nothing to cover up.
I haven’t been to a beach in 25 years.
I guess today they even make 5 year olds wear a top at the beach.
I had zero modesty at that age. Not only would I run around naked after a bath whenever I was at my grandmother’s I’d insist on scrubbing the tub afterward, while still naked. Which Grandma found hilarious and took pictures off. Of course the early '90s were a different era and by modern standards she’d be considered a child pornographer.
My daughter must have gotten her modesty from her mommie, because despite my families barbs I still have very little. And I’m no Adonis.
I think most of the previous generations parents would have been ‘pornographers’ 
My mother had several photos of me on the pottie and in various states of undress. Usually outside and in the company of other victims
When my daughter was 5, she’d tell everyone, “I’m wearing my Belle (Disney) underwear - wanna see?”
She’s 21 now. I don’t think she does that anymore.
Does she no longer wear Belle underwear?
My daughter (now that she has a momma in the house) won’t stop running out and shaking her butt at us after a shower…
But we are all nudists at the beach or the hot tub. I will wear shorts if she is gonna be sitting on my lap, cause I don’t want pictures that look crazy, though.
But pictures that are obviously not sexual are not illegal…
but they are also usually only on Mama’s phone- and they don’t last long unless the relevant bits are covered…
She learned long ago to keep her door closed or the bathroom door closed if she was doing private things…
She had even more of pictures of my older brother and male cousins. They had an indoor pool so skinnydipping was pretty common (unless the girl cousins were present), I’m alot younger than them so I didn’t get to do that. I do remember skinnydipping “alone” (ie with my grandmother or auntie on deck supervising) when I was 8 or 9.
There are actual home movies of my uncles skinnydipping with their classmates circa 1960. I found that out after one of them transfered a bunch of old films onto DVD. One uncle had a summer birthday so one year he got to invite a bunch of his friends to a party at the family lake cottage. So the footage just cuts from a Christmas party to a bunch of boys skinnydipping and coming out of the lake naked and eating lunch while Grandma’s walking around in a big poofy Mad-Men dress serving food. Pretty big culture shock compared to nowdays.
I think my wife asked her once if a thong she found in the laundry belonged to her. I go deaf now when the subject of underwear comes up, unless we’re discussing boxers and briefs on the man side of the family tree.
Evidently, she said it was, or you’re omitting a long discussion your wife had with you.
On the flip side of that, my daughters have a fit if I do something as shocking as wearing just my underwear outside my bedroom. I don’t do it often, and it’s almost always only either top or bottom, not both, but somehow they’re just horrified. And this is in spite of the fact that the older one played a college sport and lived with roommates for several years.
I guess it’s different when it’s your mom.
They don’t want me around if they’re changing, either.
