    ha ha just come across this post and felt I had to comment as we were just debating it the other day with some pals. Like many other posters, we walk around in the nuddy without any thought (obviously only in front of our direct family and not whilst strangers are in the house). Kids arent bothered. As some one else said, I think you take your lead from the kids. My son is 10 and whilst he doesnt bat an eyelid about coming in and chatting to me whilst I am in the shower, he will now not get undressed in front of me. My daughter on the other hand has no such inhibitions. However I will say that now my daughter is a teen, my husband is a bit more wary but dont know if that is just a fear of the politically correct world we now live in - if it were mentioned at school we would probs have social work at the door. I knew a family who were open as us and had a boat; the youngest drew a picture at school of her dad in the shower on the boat and the parents got hauled into the school for interrogation. What a weird and wonderful world we live in eh?
