Two years ago I had a 50th birthday party for my wife and invited the whole family which are all non-nudists. I promised my step daughter that I would stay dressed if she would show up. It was a very hot day in July and I was grilling for over 100 people with shorts on. My brother-in-law finally came up to me and asked if I was staying dressed just for our daughter and if I was it was time for her to deal with it. The shorts came off!! She now visits us on a regular basis and got naked herself last summer.
Well I've been through this over the last year or so with my step daughters( 14 yrs and 19 yrs). We built a new pool deck and hot tub in the backyard and have been slowly introducing them to the fact that their mother and I enjoy being naked. It's been going very well for the most part, but, the youngest is starting to have some trouble with it. We were kind of surprised by this because she was the one who seemed to accept it the easiest at first. Then my wife heard her and some of her friends talking about us being naked all the time. Unfortunately the "leader of the pack" thinks it's gross to see adults naked. That explains why my step daughter is now uncomfortable with our nudity. Hopefully as she get older she'll gain enough confidence to form her own opinions on things.
I haven't been nude in front of my kids although they know of my lifestyle (both are in their 20's, boy and girl). I've never talked to them about it but I will next time...thanks to a discussion I had recently with BaltoBob. Who knows...they may even live this lifestyle too and until it is discussed openly...I'll never know how they feel about it.
My first time nude in front of older kids would probably have been when I was around 8 or 9. Every summer my family would have a reunion at this state park in New York that had a public pool. The locker rooms were an open concept, but surrounded by walls (no ceilings). You were supposed to take a shower before going into the pool. Most people would just step into the shower to get wet (while wearing their bathing suit), then exit the locker room and go to the pool. Some would shower after the pool as well, to wash off the chlorine. I remember seeing the older guys in there naked, so I decided to strip down and get naked too. I'd end up spending more time hanging out naked in the shower than I did swimming in the pool.
We have never had any children, but if I had they would have been raised as nudists. However, our neighbor brings her boys over quite often. They are both around 10-12 years old. They see me nude and their mom topless. The older boy has had one minor erection and we told him it was normal. They have no problem and neither do I. Jen
My kids were 9 to 12 when we began being "nudists" and taking them with us to nudist venues. Before that we had been naked occasionally and casually but not all day. They never complained but none of them has become a nudist as an adult.
I was almost 50 before I was ever naked in front of my mother. She gave me one of her usual snide comments but I ignored it.
