I’m a single mom to a 9 year old boy. When he’s getting ready for a shower or changing clothes he’ll just walk out and start having a conversation with me while he’s naked. He’ll remember something from school or a video game achievement and have to tell me a 5 minute story at that moment. I don’t care. He obviously doesn’t care. But when I was growing up with a brother neither of us ever walked around naked, at any age old enough to remember. I don’t tell him to put clothes on because I don’t want to make him feel like he’s doing something wrong. The kid wears a swim shirt at the pool, he’s obviously just super comfortable at home. But was it normal for any of you growing up? Is he going to do it for a couple more years then look back when he’s an adult and think “wtf was my mom thinking?”
How long did you walk around naked at home as a kid?

All male household here and nudity is common thing. lol both boys do it and they are 9 and 11… maybe it changes later idk
I have 3 brothers, we were naked pretty often from memory (I’m nearly 40now). We used to shit and shower with the door open/shit whilst the other was in the shower. I guess everyone is different, but to us it wasn’t a thing. I know have a 5 year old boy who is naked 95% of the time he’s in the house. Again it’s not really “a thing”. To each their own I suppose!
I have 3 boys, 10,7 and 5. They are all comfortable walking around home naked.
The eldest has just started showing signs of being aware in pool changing rooms etc, but the other two would swim naked if we let them.
His mother and I also walk around the house nude when between the shower or getting clothes. We just haven’t made an issue of it so it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
I’m sure they will become more self conscious soon, but for the moment it isn’t a problem.
I think that ended before I started forming memories.
I have 2 adult boys now but they were nudists around the house when they were younger.
Thinking back….They stopped doing it around the same time they hit puberty and started growing pubic hair.
