    Boys shower often with DH or I and see us get dressed, not an issue here at all. I would not be comfortable with them showering with other people even family but thats just me.

    we are pretty comfortable nudies around here lol its not like we sit around nude but the kids have seen it all and we all shower together and i dont know if it is just my house but it is impossible to have a shower without someone walking in lol
    my kids have all showered with nanna and poppy too and i am pretty sure at least one of them has even showered with my brother and sister. I want my kids to know that bodies come in all different shapes and we are all beautiful...

    Actually on the topic of nudity and family members, we've just had my inlaws here for 2wks. Ds1 walked into the bathroom the other day while MIL was in the shower mistakenly thinking it was me. Afterward she laughed and said he was sort of like "Oh its you, sorry Nanna" then looked at her funny..................he couldnt figure out where her other boob was (she's had a mastectomy on the left side due to breast cancer) She said she prob scarred him for life but you know, he hasnt mentioned a word about it. It just didnt occur to him that it was anything really important or unusual

    No worries with nudity here either. My older 2 kids get a warning that I am naked, but they don't care as they've grown up with me like this... they'll often bring DD2 to me when I am already in the shower and she wants to join me. DH is a little more reserved and he won't be naked around the older kids, probably because he is their step dad but has been in their lives forever (especially DD1's) but he & they find it awkward, which is fair enough. DH has no problem being naked around DS2 & DD2 though but says he will still cover up when they're older.

    Nudity for us here as well. It's acutally helped our DD's learn body parts and the difference between male and female.

    We both bath with the toddler (and she's permanently naked) but the older one showers alone, refuses to let us see her naked and pretty much runs screaming when either of us are even a few garments short of fully dressed. She's almost 10 and skinny as a rake, so very much prepubescant. Tweens!!

    Noone is shy here either!! We all shower, bath, dress together. Doesn't bother us and it's educational for DD I guess lol!!

    I can't quite remember when I last went to the loo at home or had a shower without interruption - our girls are pretty used to seeing us both naked and they bath together so they see each other too. DP doesn't shower with DD2 anymore - and won't again until she is old enough to understand that doodle is not a handle I think he was in pain for a while after that!

    DH and I both sleep nude, walk to the bathroom nude, shower with the door open, the kids often jump in the shower with us lol DS is starting to do the whole cover up when I walk in the bathroom while he's showering or getting dressed and that's fine, he doesn't really batter an eyelid at us being naked though because it's just part of our "norm". I think kids will let you know when they are uncomfortable with it.
