For the most part it hasn’t. They are more than willing to walk around the house in various stages of undress.
Running free...
I always figured I would take my cue from them. When it started bothering them then I would be more aware of what I was doing. I mean I am their mom and although it is my duty to embarrass them, I will do it consciously.
I just didn’t expect the cue to come from my three year old.
The other morning I was in my bedroom/bathroom/closet getting dressed after a shower. He walked in and sat down. He was chattering away.
Laughing.
Being silly.
Telling stories.
I got dressed and brushed my hair and just before I was leaving to go make breakfast he said…
Mom you look so much better.
So much better clothed?
Ouch.
So now no one is allowed in my bathroom when I am getting dressed.
Not for modesty, but for ego preservation.I have been interested to watch the boys mature and see when that phase of self-awareness kicks in that triggers modesty.

LOL… But I hear ya, same thing here. My daughter was eye level with my rear after bursting in when I was getting out the shower. She says, It’s so big… hrumph!
Makes you wish they kids didn’t always tell the truth.
My son has alluded to the fact that I’m squishy. Niiice.
Now…you KNOW it could have been the hair that looked SO MUCH BETTER. It could have!
I’m absolutely certain he just meant you looked better with your hair brushed.
Ouch. Definitely banned from the bathroom.
I knew it was time to be more modest when Jack started telling everyone about his mom’s “big nipples”. Oy.
Keep them out until he learns to lie.
