I always walk around the house naked or with a tank top on in my thong.. My daughter walks around in her pamper and my other 4yr old and 6 year old daughters do the same with there undies on but is that wrong? I mean not when we answer the door or when companie comes but my boyfriend would get mad and be like "the neighbors can see you at night." My kids don't do it when hes there but I do it all the time.. Is it wrong?

Yes, it is wrong. You are a mother now and you need to set an example for your daughters. It is not good for them to see you like that.

It's your house and your family. Provided no one else can see you, then you set the rules.
I live with my Mum, Dad and brother. I sleep maked and often walk to and from the bathroom of a morning without putting anything on. M&D are cool with this so long as no one else other than family are at home.
We also have a pool and I swim topless and therefore often walk through the house in just my bikini bottom.
Your house, your rules. Best everyone is fully clothed when you have visitors though

Ask yourself this question:
Will I be embarrassed when my daughters inevitably ask some1 else why they're not nekked like Mommy is around the house?
Personally, I'm all for it, of course.
But I think your girls are getting to an age where they can speak too much of their own minds. Decide how much you want the world to know about your home life since the girls will likely say something to some1 and usually at the worst possible time.
KIDS! *L*
Be well~

I don't see anything actually 'wrong' with it, but aren't you kind of sending mixed messages to the girls?
Mommy can dress like this any time she wants, even when boys are around, but we can't?
And unless you have heavy drapes/curtains and are careful about the back lighting, the neighbors CAN see you at night. Maybe even during the day.
I always went with the running around in our underwear when my daughter and I were home by ourselves. It kind of told her that as long as it's only females, underwear is okay, but we never did it when b/f or hubby was around.
Just the way I was raised, I suppose.

I guess it is OK, but it depends, who are your neighbors. If they are fanatically religious, then it may be a problem. Though from my experience, it is common for about 10 or 11 years old children to walk around in their houses in their underwear, while the doors of their houses are almost always open.

It's entirely OK - your kids will be more seriously affected if you start getting embarassed and hiding yourself away. If you are at ease with your body then your children will be at ease with theirs as well. The worst thing you can do is give your kids the idea that somehow their bodys are "nasty", "dirty" or "obscene".
My wife and I frequently walk around the house semi-naked and even use the bathroom with the door open. There is nothing sexual, perverted or menacing in this - we are simply at ease with ourselves and with each other. Our children are perfectly normal and relaxed and are fully aware that that is an "at home" practise and that when they are visiting other people clothes are required!
If people were less up-tight about such things there would be a lot less people around with hang-ups and weird ideas and attitudes towards themselves and others.

Maybe a sport bra and some boy shorts but not a thong, not around the kids, its too much, they might want to start wearing things that mommy wears a little too early if they see that on you now! Trust me! Experience!

Let me be the judge of your question, just send me a pic :D
Wear a big t-shirt that covers you down to your waist - you never know, your kids might think what you do is okay for them to do over at someone elses house and when they say "Mom does it all the time" to their friends parents is when you get calls from other Moms, & the Dads will make sure they come to pick up their kids at your house..

I'm the same exact way and I have an 11yr old daughter at home and I have been doing this in front of her since birth.I honestly feel that I have made my daughter much more comfortable with her body.No I do not think u r wrong.

If you are comfortable then NO it is not wrong. Youa re teaching your kids to have a relaxed attitude about their bodies and that is not always a bad thing. THey should have no issues that plague most of America and should not see their bodies as something they should hide or be embarrassed about.
You just want to teach them to respect their bodies at the same time so they will not allow someone to take advantage of their openness.

You may want to be weary of the message your children are getting, as they are at an age where they can not clearly differentiate the difference between standards of behavior in different places. In addition, you may safely assume that your older child's teacher knows you walk around naked, as does most of the rest of her school class.
