My daughter is now 15 and she tends to walk around the house naked or in just her underwear. My husband and I get on her about it all the time, but she don't seem to care. I don't know if she will grow out of this or get worst.

Is It Normal?

Step 2: If step 1 should have failed, you must accept her for who she is.
I am now 30 live in a house with two housemates which are females, i was here first and i wore a dressing gown for the first week or so then forgot and came out of my room to get to the bathroom with just boxers on and one of my housemates saw me, later in the day i said sorry and she said she wasn't worried, so i carried on the other housemate does the same now as well. So we all walk around in our underwear with no problems. The lock on the bathroom door has been broken for the last month so we have all seen each other naked now. The other morning we all came out our rooms at roughly the same time and used the bathroom at the same time, just doesnt seem strange any more, i was in the shower, they were doing makeup and brushing teeth etc.
Underwear is basically just like a bikini anyway so I wouldn't worry about that but being naked in front of your dad at 15 is strange and i'd be mortified if my dad saw me naked!
Does the term 'undies' include a bra?
Free your mind. Free your body.
:)
sometimes i just don't wanna go out of my bedroom, because i'm damn tired of changing into long clothes! haha
i mean they really should see naked teens walking in their house in the presence of their parents, so they can stop blaming me haha
but life goes on, i don't let this get into me :D
i guess its a sense of being free, have you ever tried walking around your house naked, or with little on? or have your grown up and been told its not normal!?! what is normal!? what everyone tells you is? normal is what you want it to be and what you feel comfortable doing.
try walking around naked in your house or with little on, even with the curtains shut, its that sense of freedom, you'll see what i mean when you do it
I feel, that unless she is making some kind of scene while doing it (going for attention) it's really not a terrible thing. Why should it make anyone awkward unless you're insecure about your own body, or the one you are seeing?
Nothing could be more normal than walking around naked, there is no shame and no sexuality to the human form, only in the form of intentions. It's awesome that your family is accepting, I know my parents would freak if I was even in a shirt and just underwear when I lived at home
I,personally, would be mentally scared
It's natural, and it's probably just a phase.
I can't stand wearing pants, as soon as I get home I take them off.
is all about comfort... i hate putting on clothes and i feel kinda awkward when somebody else is in the room, but i don't really care all that much. i think it started when i was 17, my friend would stay over and walk around my parents house in her underwear while everybody was home ... at her house it's normal, her dad walks around in jocks....
no matter who is there.
i no its crazeee but like somone said im proud of my body n i want ppl to look at me
If she's comfortable doing it then leave her alone

However, if this is a problem and it bothers you. Have your husband and you join her and walk around the house naked yourself. If modesty isn't a problem, you both should do it when her friends come over and this problem, after a long discussion, will not happen again.
However, your daughter seems curious about her body and she sounds like she might pose naked or, god forbid, be in a Girl's Gone Wild video when she is older. Let her be curious but really talk to her about it in a "friends" tone and less like a "parent."
I was a c cup by then so had quiet a good size breasts and also i was pregnant a few months after my 13 birthday
It's not abnormal for someone to walk around naked, either she sees no reason to be ashamed of her body or she's just too lazy to put clothes on, either way it's not that strange.
On the other hand you're her parent, and if you think it's innapropriate that's your right, if I was you I'd try to ease her out of it. Make sure she understands it's innapropriate to do it outside or with guests, and maybe tell her she's free to hang out naked in parts of the house you don't frequent, or even just her room. She'll feel less like you're crushing her freedom and you won't have to see it.
I personally don't find anything wrong with it, like we came into the work like that and it's who we are, and that just says that she's okay and comfortable with her body. The only thing to eat h out for is if she starts doing it when others are around or if she is wearing less and less around others, cause in the future that really could end badly.
It sounds like you have developed some kind of shame seeing her developing body.
Your her pedants for god sake. My daughters a fine level headed young woman now 22 still lives at home still gives us the occasional surprise flash running from the bathroom. She has no hang ups
I think that this requires some reminders from you folks that although in home it is OK to relax the dress code, nudity is something intimate and private.
Another solution would be for you to chip in some cool undies that you seem fit for her to wear around the house. maybe this will help the situation...
If not, then this was just an innocent child without any society inhibitions.
If so, then she obviously hates clothes, and is open about expressing herself.
With your parental consent it would be interesting to know how she feels about this now. (Somewhat of a loophole in the Terms & Conditions here I might add)
Does she want more attention from you guys? Does she want sexual attention from men, and is confused and trying to get it from dad? OR maybe she is one of those strange cases where she has a crush on her father and wants him sexually?
He is a strange boy.
(Ripping his own clothes off)
Solved.
Hey gorgeous. Do you like my new outfit?
(laughing)
We haven't got to get all horny at each other just because our skins are showing you know?
It does that on it's own. Get soft you rebellious, bad penis! Bad penis!
(laughing)
I was about to prepare myself something to eat. Let's say, sand.. wi.. ch.. es? (blushing)
Sure. Sandwiches are fine. I didn't know you had such great looking legs. They'd be more feminine than mine if you shaved them.
I don't even know if I have to take it as a compliment. I don't feel flattered tho. Here's your sandwich.
Even of its just it mom
no shame eww and im actually 15(lol)
soyea )p
NOT NORMAL HEHE
this reminds me of that movie broken flowers...
But a mature respectful person would respect the rules of the people who's home they live in.
It might seem harsh but if i were you i would tell her she is woman enough at 15 to move out if she can't respect her mother and father enough to even put clothes on in front of them.
i bet you any money she acted weird as a kid, not letting her food touch and being un social - loving to have a routine and did things in constant pattern, has leanring disibilities, isnt normal compared to other kids her age, tends to get agressive?
id get her checked for autism if i were you, i bet she's not afraid to answer the door naked either :)
I don't want to sleep with her (This was four years ago when she did this so now wouldn't be so bad, she was rather hot.) but I found it very hard to look away.
Lets just say after her mom saw me looking and then fighting myself to be "appropriate," she punished her daughter and that ended. But I think it is normal.
lol
I personally think it's disrespect.
Let her know that she can do all that nakedness when she has her own place. I think she's testing her limits with your household.
Maybe it could be an excuse so when she decides to dress provocative, her excuse will be "BUT you guys don't mind if I'm naked at home! I'm covered up this way!"
Who walks naked around a house when there are people there?
That's just weird, maybe she's trying to get attention to her body.
If I lived by my own I would do the same thing!
Is she looking for a roommate? Im looking for 1let her know.. lol jk.. But I am looking for a roommate
Ya she could even be a mommy at 15. The fact that you ask is that normal makes me question if you watch tv ska Dateline NBC? I mean most of the comments here are Chris Hanson interviews waiting to happen. Lady get a clue, before God forbid something happen to your daughter. These ate scary times!
but for the record... i love walking around my own house naked. i don't get to all that much, due to the awkwardness with the roommate. but when it's just me and my girlfriend, we like to instill a no pants rule.
Consequence for not listening. Take away something she likes - allowance, TV or computer time - whatever.
Obviously your daughter is trying to get his attention. Check hubby for a boner.
SOLUTION YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND START WALKING AROUND NAKED
Just tell her it makes you uncomfortable and since this is all your homes she should respect that. Find a compromise and say minimum clothing but no nudie runs.
by the way, it is normal to feel nervous un this kind of situation, humans feel nervous when the basis of what is considered "normal" are broken like wearing clothes, nudity doesnt have to involve anything sexual and as long as it keeps on the right track id even dare to say you should encourage it because she is young and cant always tell when things start to get sexual. just be there to guide her not to change the ways she is.
Obviously evolution isn't real because this is a big step backwards .
BTW For that guy who says it was hard for him to look away from his ex girlfriends '15'year old daughter, You ARE a pedophile. Just because you may not have rapped a little girl yet doesn't mean you are not one. The fact that you talk about and view that little girl in a sexual nature is what makes you one.
But my stepdad was hitting on me at 14, so maybe it never occurred to me to go sans clothes...
Maybe if some pervy 40 yr old was exposing himself to her and propositioning her every time she turned around, she would not seek that kind of attention.
In this day and age, in American culture, it is NOT normal. Mention to her in front of her friends, that'll put a stop to it-- danger of it geting around school, she'll never do it again.
END OF STORY!!!!
if she wears undy and a bra and shorts and add a tangtop freakint hat would be fine. you should totally take her allowance, tv or cell away for that. she is 15 yrs old. YOURS HOUSE UR RULES.
