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.

Yea, that will put a damper on things.
I keep telling my boys that they are what made me squishy in the first place. So there!
They don’t seem to be buying it though. Ingrates.
That is lovely. My two year old said “mommy, I like you cuz you’re squishy.” I almost cried. Tried to convince myself its a compliment… but its not working.
LMAO
Welcome to the club, kiddo…clothes are my friend. My BEST friend.
By the way, clearly the boy doesnt know what “hot” IS yet.
๐
They DO know just the right thing to say, don’t they? Brats.
Ouch. But funny!
That is too funny! My 5 year old is very modest, but than again he has to tell his fart jokes in the bathroom!
SOLD! New fan here! That is stinkin’ cute! My son used to walk around with his hand across his eyes like those black bars you see in “fashion don’t” photos! Apparently, I was much too offensive for him! lol!
LOVE your blog! So happy you came by to visit so I could return the favor! (Uh..now you’re kind of stuck with me…evil grin..)
That’s gonna leave a mark. ๐
(I’m sure he meant “You look pretty.”)
When I was little our bathroom was upstairs and my bedroom was downstairs. I used to run by the living room on my way to my bedroom screaming "nude man, nude man".
Thanks for stopping by,
Yikes! those 3 year old don’t know how to lie do they?
