So recently I was reading one of my favorite blogging Dads post and he talked about his daughter jumping in to their hot tub naked while he was in the hot tub. He went on to talk about how his wife showers with his daughter once in a while. This got me to thinking. The grownup in me is screaming that it’s weird that parents bath/shower with their kids, BUT I do it to!
As a child I too bathed/showered with my mommy, in fact it was always a special alone time that I got to spend with her. Having 6 brothers and sisters, alone time with parents is like winning the lottery. So when I had my own daughter I didn’t think twice about bathing with her. But reading blogger dads post and how he realized that some people don’t think it’s ok to be naked around your child got me to thinking……whats so bad about being naked?
As a child I loved to strip every chance I got and run around like a mad women (or girl ). In my house being naked wasn’t dirty or bad, although there was no naked time when we had guest. As a parent I guess I feel the same way. Being naked is natural and normal. I don’t want my daughter to feel ashamed of her body (don’t get me wrong when she is a teen there will be a rule about how we dress in public) I guess I am just that kind of person who thinks the human body in its natural state is beautiful and natural and I don’t go with the rest of america being conservative. In Brazil people embrace their bodies and aren’t scared of the human body. I guess I just got that way of thinking from my mom. what do you think. Leave a comment and tell me what you think of being naked.
Thanks for reading and happy parenting 🙂
