Naked dad with kids

    Just got back from the pool where I showered as I normally do before going in to pool area. There was this dad in the public showers starkers with his two kids beside him. Now i always thought the continentals were known to unselfconsciously prance around with no clothes on in front of their children but is this a new phenomenon for Ireland?

    As the kids get older and become aware of sexuality then they will remember seeing dad's mick and it'll dawn on them that they came out of that thing. There's something almost paedophilic in its intrusion on the children's innocence.

    whether it is or it isn't i think it's nice. i don't have children myself but i would imagine the young kids might sometimes see their parents in the nip, nothing weird about it in my opinion

    Are you for real,paedophilic i taught this kind of thinking in Ireland was well gone,what ****s kids up is been told that nudity is wrong and dirty.Granted he should not have been in public area naked,but maybe he was foreign,you would want to send some time with the Germans,they dont give a toss where they strip off.But been naked around your own kids up to a certain age is fine.

    It may be too much reality for a very young child.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭Bluefoam


    Holy ****, this thread is awful. What is wrong with people if they think nudity is comparable to peodophilia. What kind of ****ed up household do you need to come from to think that...

    I am disgusted by the OP and have to wonder what the posters own thoughts were when they put the children and nudity together.

    Was this a communial shower in the male changing rooms. If so fail to see the issue.

    If it was around the pool side, then I would be more concerned about him on show to everyone, rather than the none paedophila notion of it.

    It's completely normal for parents to be in the nip around their young kids. What do you think they should be protected from, exactly? Knowledge of what a normal human body looks like? Suggesting that this is somehow paedophelia is hysterical in the extreme.

    Don't think he was German. Though can't be certain of that. Up to what age do you reckon kids should be after which it's acceptable to strip off when they're around?

    Even the the liberal opinions differ and why????Terri lobe i agree with you but modesty and good taste is not easy to define sometimes especially since many people do not understand it...others simply could'nt be bothered.Others too have no real sense of right and wrong or seemliness.We live in an Age that seeks to Blur differences.

    i hope you dont have kids of your own, if a naked human body is too much for them god help them.

    perhaps we can show kids that naked human bodies are ok, they dont need t be ashamed of having one, just dont go whipping it out in public and your grand.

    Your reaction is totally hysterical for I don't equate nudity to paedophilia in every context. Clearly the dad showered with his two kids around him in the men's changing room because they were too young to leave outside on their own. It's just that he showered totally uninhibited in the nip with the kids running around him playing tag or whatever toddlers play. There is a positive message here that nudity is nothing to be ashamed of, I get that. It's just seeing your dad's wobbly bits....I don't know

    Wow, what a stupid thread. So basically if my 2yr old daughter happened to see me naked coming out of the shower im now a paedophile?

    I'm confused as to when it is reasonable for a German to be naked in the shower and what differences apply to Irish men showering in the nude?

    Would you ring the police if you saw someone in the swimming pool showers and a kid happened to walk through?

    Who specifies the rules for this kind of thing?

    WHEN DID I SAY THIS? NEVER! Being in the same shower area as the kids and dad I was cautious the whole time not to expose myself to minors by keeping my togs on the whole time they were around. The kids are clearly socialised to seeing naked bodies in these sort of scenarios. Should daddy wash himself with his arse facing the kids or turn around to them with a bar of soap & kokhead in hand?

    Its not only Germans but most of mainland Europeans who have a total different outlook on nudity,if you go to most bath houses in Germany they have communal showers where people from the age of one to hundred shower naked without anybody objecting,its the way they are raised as kids, nudity does not equal sex from them.A lot of kids in Ireland were (are)raised to think that been naked is bold

    Sorry not you just society in general is very "omg there's a dad with his kid must be a paedo"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 453 ✭✭gypsy_rose


    they children are too young to know anything about sex or shame about nakedness, so it's no problem, if they're older than 3 I think you should cover up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,991 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    This has to be a wind up.........
    Seriously.....

    I think you missed my sarcasm. I don't actually differentiate between naked Germans and naked Irish. Both are perfectly entitled to their bodies. I'd be surprised if its true that Irish people were raised to think nudity is 'bold'. Your ideas on nudity are disturbing to me.

    sorry missed the sarcasm :o. In what way are my ideas on nudity disturbing you? i have no hang ups on nudity at all.

    What is wrong with a parent being naked in a communal changing room with their own children? Seriously, people have to get over themselves.:rolleyes:

    If people have a major problem with this - then it's far more telling about the mind of that person than it is about the parent that is naked in a communal changing room/shower with their child. Some seriously warped and twisted notions about nudity and children expressed on this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭2 stroke


    Obviously the op is young enough never to have visited Mosney. Ok showers were unisex and you kept your togs on, but the male changing area was certainly clothing optional. And I don't think there were many foreigners there.
    The easiest way to wash young children, at home or at the pool, is to shower with them. In the company of the opposite sex, our society dictates that we cover up. But I can see no reason to cover up in a same sex public showers.

    I don't get it, what's wrong with being nude in front of your own children? Or being nude in a changing room? It's not like he was flashing kids in the park.
