Naked as a 'jaybird'. Good or bad?

[Mia62]

DEAR ABBY: For the last 11 years, my ex-wife and I have shared joint custody of our 13-year-old son, "Brad." He has often complained to me about his mother not respecting his wishes.

Recently, Brad told me his mom walks around the house in the nude, and it makes him very uncomfortable. Since she and I have an ongoing family law court "disagreement" on what constitutes the best interest of our child, talking directly to her about this is not possible. I am allowed to communicate only through her attorney. Abby, how should I handle this so my son can feel comfortable in his mother's home? -- SHE'S NAKED AS A JAY BIRD



What do you think?

I am thinking the mother does not really care about her son.
Its obvious he feels uncomfortable seeing his mother walking around naked, yet she continues to do it .. she has no regards for her son's feelings ... is she mental in the head or something ?

I am thinking the dad should fight for sole custody of his son.

A little disturbing, esp. since the boy is going through puberty soon.
He can't even invite friends over to hang out.

I think family nudity if fine unless, or until, any member becomes uncomfortable. It's sad that this mom won't respect her son's wishes.

Personally, I think this borders on sexual assault. The child is being totally violated.

I still shower with my 8 year old daughter and my son still showers with his dad. BUT my son has not wanted me to see him naked for at least two years now...that is part of growing up.

Mostly they shower on their own...they only go in with us when we are all running late in the mornings before school.

I showered with my 5 yr old daughter last night... we have no hang ups about our nudity. Obviously it doesn't happen all the time and there will come a time when she will be too old to climb in the shower with her old man, but until then I can't see the harm in it.


oh and Mia... I'd shower with you in a heartbeat.

That's just because you are a perverted ole wolf.
