Parents walking around the house nude bugs sisters

[Davin]

Our dad and mom believe in casual nudity in the home. They think nothing of walking around naked. It didn't bother us when we were younger and were taught
to be casual ourselves. However, since we've reached puberty (15 and 13), it really bothers me and my sister to see our dad this way. We aren't prudes and
don't have a problem with nudity around our mom and other females, but we started locking our door because our dad would think nothing of walking in on us
when we were undressed. We also have a 10-year-old brother, and while it doesn't bother him to see our mom nude now, it probably will pretty soon. We think
opposite-sex nudity is not appropriate once you reach puberty

Two observations ...
1) [sarcasm font]Children should be in charge of the household and carry the full burden of responsibility there and should set the rules and decide how the adults behave because they have the wisdom and life experience their parents lack.[/font]
2) Everything parents do 'bugs' teenagers.

The kids just need to get over it. They grew up with nudity being normal, and it is not new to them. Had mom and dad just started living the nudist lifestyle, it would be another story all together. We've read in these forums many times that it is normal for teens who have grown up as nudists to want to be clothed. It seems to be a normal progression of things and it makes me wonder how much peer pressure influences this change in attitude. They at least don't have a problem with same sex nudity. That is a plus.

It may be that this is actually the writing of a 15 & 13 year old.

Well...maybe.

I want to ask, what sort of media image did the children see to make them feel uncomfortable with nudity? Does anyone ever recall seeing large amounts of television where people said, 'Ewww! Gross! Put some clothes on?' or is it a traditional comedy-line that nobody, simply nobody wants to "see their parents naked"?

I do not recall seeing much of this, although there may have been a few instances of (acted) High Schoolers laughing at a naked boy pushed out of a Locker Room, suddenly having his bathing suit pulled down, or being the subject of some other juvenile prank. Is it the "raging" hormones wish push nudity into the realm of uneasy humor? Do many think of puberty as funny because we are typically uneasy with the new feelings it releases within us?

How should parents describe these changes and should they be trying to convince their children there is nothing "funny" about puberty?

I think peer-pressure and conformism are the main drivers behind this "discomfort." Because no teen wants to be perceived as the kid with the "weirdo" parents. AND their perception of nudity is being reshaped by their own burgeoning sexuality. Hence the uncomfortable uneasy humor you described.

I still think the solution is social nudity. For teens with nudist peers, shrugging off nudism becomes more difficult when part of their social network consists of nudists their own age.

The girls have the right to their own privacy, so telling their dad not to barge in on them is fine. That seems to be their biggest problem. They could also try to talk with their parents about their issues in a mature way. If they do have a problem with the amount of time the parents go naked, they could try to get an agreement with their parents.

Locked doors show a mistrust with their father, which is the biggest problem, though.

I've read this several times, and, other than the fact that dad barges into their room (always wrong, textile or nudist), I can't figure out what this person's problem is.

She's not saying, "Since we've reached puberty, WE FEEL the NEED to cover up." That would be perfectly understandable.

But, she seems to be saying that, even though she was raised in a nudist household, she suddenly can't stand the sight of naked dad. HUH? And, she assumes that in a few years, her younger brother won't be able to stand the sight of naked mom.

Could it be dad's naked image is giving her thoughts or feelings (arousal?) that she can't control and knows are inappropriate? And, is she projecting that younger brother will feel the same about mom?

If she grew up around naked dad, why these feelings now? Did dad, in fact, do something inappropriate?

I don't get it.

Things did change. They are growing up. Now that they are changing into women, they notice men. Now they are different.

Have you ever noticed a kid getting close to mom or dad and grabbing a leg close to their crotch? Or burying their head in their crotch? That is because it doesn't matter. Think a teenager would get this close to a crotch still? Heck no. They now know what the crotch "contains." It's different.
