I grew up in a family where nudity is allowed and so my brothers and sisters I went around the house naked a lot. I continue to sleep naked and walk around naked at home, when I met my husband I got him into it, and now I want to raise my son the same way, I don't want him to feel ashamed of his body and our son finds it fun and at nights my hubby and I sleep in the buck, and our son will sometimes sleep with us and he gets naked in bed with us, and in the mornings we eat breakfast au naturel, same at lunch and dinner. He sees me nude on a daily basis. Doesn't faze him in the least, how do I tell her not be be so stuffy and that she should let me raise my kids the way I want to? Reply to this Question

I mean... if a neighbour found out that you have a chIld that sleeps naked in a bed with you... that COULD lead to all sorts of crap.
I personally don't see any harm in what you do. ChIldren and familes have been going the Full Monty at nude beaches and nudist colonies for ages and for the most part they don't go out and kill people.
It may not faze the son yet... hut when he hits puberty it will do nothing more then make it even worse seeing a woman naked at home, every damn day, when the slightest suggestion of a breast is enough to set off the sexual chain reaction.
So my advice is to just tell her that there is nothing illegal in the naturalist life and that until it becomes a problem for the child, she should learn to accept how YOU raise YOUR OWN children.
I mean it isn't like you just strut around in the buff when you have company around, is it? So long as he leanrs the value of provacy and discretion then I wish you all well.
