Am I bad for not giving my kid "naked time"?

[hubes]

Nope. She'll do it soon enough. I'm working on instilling modesty in T.

[iamgrace]

What? Never heard of it. Henry gets naked time in the tub. I assume that's enough. Maybe I'm wrong

[eddy]

I don't want leo to shit all over. So I say no to naked time.

[Jalapeñomel]

What is naked time?

[revolution]

I did not know kids needed naked time.

Mine get naked time when they get in the bathtub.

[ThirdandLong]

You can bare her bottom if she gets a bad rash. Otherwise, it's just a bigger mess to clean up potentially. Bath time seems like enough naked time to me.

[iamgrace]

Hmm. Well, we have him walk from his room to the bathroom naked for bath time. He holds his penis the whole time. Lol.

And sometimes he pees.

yes! My 4 y/o LOVES to not wear clothes and is certainly not modest. She does not understand why she can't go outside wearing nothing or just underwear. She's getting better, but it used to be that we considered ourselves lucky if she put underwear on willingly and spent the day like that.

[hubes]

Oh, also, I feel that I should mention that I am white trash who doesn't make her kid wear pants. Like ever. (Okay, usually to Walmart)

Feel free to tell that to the kids on TB.

Someone said something about it being good for them developmentally, and other people talking about how much their babies love it.

DS giggles up a storm when I take his diaper off and he is naked for all of 15 seconds in the morning. That doesn't mean I'm going to let him be naked and clean up after him. I clean up after enough people at my house - I don't need to add baby pee and poop into the mix anymore than it already is.

Oh, and it was suggested I have issues w/ the potential mess because I don't CD.

lmao, for god's sake!

hahahahaaa

(I think this means cloth diaper?)

After watching my baby project shit from the changing table to across the room, there is no way in hell I'd let her just hang out naked.

Exactly
I am not risking it with liquid poo. Leo's farts and poops are crazy strong. /shudders

Henry still has poo shrapnel almost every time he farts. I don't want to see that without a diaper.

[papie]

Nope. Naked time = pee on the floor. Not happening in this house.

[mypunkinpie]

We didn't really do naked time until he was a little older than Joanna. I feel like it just gave his skin a chance to breathe. It's nothing you HAVE to do fore her development or anything. He's had a lot of naked time this summer because of a raging case of heat rash. Nothing cuter than a toddler butt.

[papie]

And LOL, I CD but I don't want crap on my floor!

[eightangryreindeer]

J will get plenty of naked time in college.

I'm going to go back and tell them that even papie doesn't do naked time! :-p

LMAO!

[harmony11]

There will be plenty of naked time when she is a toddler. Both of mine were channeling strippers by the time they were two.

Poor Tamb.

[speckledfrog]

Ha! I don't give W naked time, unless you count the time it takes me to move him from the changing table to the tub. He doesn't have rash issues and I'm worried he'll pee on something. He's a pretty happy baby, so I don't think he's scarred or anything!

You should reply with that on TB, lololol.

[litebright]

These people clearly do not have mobile children.

We only did naked-time when the girls had bad rashes. And right now, since we have 90% carpet and DD2 has been known leave a trail of pee-spots across three rooms during the 60-second period after she gets out of the tub before I chase her down with a diaper, there is no naked time if I can help it.

This is the same reason I refuse to do naked PTing. DD2 wears long pants when she has undies on, because they absorb most of the pee. Otherwise I'd be scrubbing spots out of the carpet all day long.

ffs. tamb, stay here. we'll talk about your baby with you.

[bcv513]

I let my nephew hang out naked when I was baby-sitting one day and he had a diaper rash. He was about 2. He ran into the kitchen, broke out into a big grin, and shot a huge stream of crap across the room and hit the wall. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. I'm still scarred.

no shit. I just wandered over to the bump and they are crazier than they were 5 years ago.

[mamasaurus]

I think some of the CD people on our board are kind of bitchy about it. Like when the one (I think softskate) was all, "You H doesn't want to do CD and you guys fight about it? You should divorce him!" Not that exactly, but in so many words. I don't see where they were snide with you about it, but was it the same biotch? I bet it was.

I think it was! This was in yesterday's thread.

Oh, yes, it's her! Acting like she's the only mom to ever scrub crap off of anything. BIIIITCH.

When people were talking about proboards the other day, I was like, Ugh, I hope she doesn't come here. Then I was like, no, it would be great seeing her get flamed into oblivion. S/o flames, is mrsharlow finally gone? God, did I want to smash her ladyballs.

[mountaingirl]

My friends 2.5 year old was hanging out with nothing on her bottom half one day. She was walking and made a weird face, she was dropping loads of poop all over the floor. Of course the baby wanted to know what it was. I'm glad I got to him before he got to it.
