Walking Around Your Children in the Buff - Fair or Foul?

While there may be no harm in getting dressed in front of your kids of the opposite sex, some think it’s totally inappropriate. We’re weighing in on parents being naked around their children and the importance of starting the conversation about consent and recognizing body parts at a young age.

[@GermaineNimundel]

The danger of personalizing body parts is when they need to tell an adult they have been sexually violated, and nobody gets what they are talking about. This is a very common thing that happens when my mum works with children who have been sexually abused. Teaching children the real words is important for their protection.

[@GermaineNimundel]

@@JeremiahWalton you would think, but unfortunately stuff like this usually comes up not when they are reporting an abuse (most of the time they don't even know they had been violated). It's usually when they casually mention and occurrence and an adult are not fast it enough to pick it up cause what they are saying doesn't really make sense. This is just my opinion after hearing multiple stories. I think its important to educate kids to just use right word for things🤷

The body is not always a sexual thing. It’s similar to when Tom Brady was talking about kissing his kids. People were in an uproar because he was showing affection by pecking his sons. Not everything is sexual people

It’s soooo good to hear Jeanie talk about her future children 😭

[@miss.a3830]

I appreciate this conversation, it was productive and honest. It is important to use the actual genital words "vagina" "breasts/titties" etc. It allows the children to take away the shame of the definitive words and in an instance of potential abuse, they can communicate it to someone they trust and the adult will understand and take action. In the black community, this needs to become more normalized and discussed. Black girls are victimized more than any other racial group and it starts with communication of body parts, consent, and acceptance.

[@everettb.4299]

I'm so glad someoen pointed this out because I was thinking about this when Jeannie spoke. It can also do more harm than good when parents give nicknames to body parts because if something happens like molestation, when the kid is trying to tell someone what part was violated, it may not be clearly understood and can sometimes be overlooked.

When I was taking classes to become a resource parent, I learned that it’s important to not come up with ‘nicknames’ for body parts, because God forbid there’s a molestation, children need to be able to clearly tell an authority which body part was abused.

I also grew up like Adrienne where we as females just didn’t allow men to be around us naked or allow men outside of their dads change little girls for similar reasons. I find mothers were more open to be free with their bodies around their children boy or girl, but I will be honest and say I find it very uncomfortable when men do the same with girls. It just feels very inappropriate. Dads & their sons it doesn’t bother me as much. But I do think teaching consent matters from a young age and making them feel safe knowing they can tell you anything avoids problems overall with their bodies. It shouldn’t be a topic where there’s shame.

@@Sthuthukile yea I get what you’re trying say. From my experience we just had a balance. You dress a certain way leads to people thinking of you sexually, but it doesn’t equate to consent. Like I knew that wearing revealing clothes will lead to others thinking certain stuff, but we were still taught that it doesn’t meant acting on it is natural. I think that’s the plus side of being in a religious but pretty open minded household-things like lust is a sin and immodesty can cause lust in others, but there’s an understanding that the sin is their responsibility.

[@monaetheloner3521]

I can relate to Adrienne so much in this segment. My grandma used to take care of me & my siblings while my mom was in jail. she was an extremely bitter, narcissistic, religious man-hating woman. She pinned in our head that men were all cheaters, liars, and molesters. We weren’t allowed to watch any shows that talked about sex because it was shameful to her. She projected her husband cheating on her onto us. She told me (4 at the time) & my little brother that if a house ever has their blinds closed or curtains hanging, it meant that there were molesters living in there. I’m triggered til this day because she freely uses that word to this day, even referring it to dogs that have sex. She always shamed us for showing our bodies & getting tongue piercings because it meant we were whores and wanted men’s attention. Yet she used to use the bathroom in front of us when we were kids & I find that disgusting. Adrienne’s mom was projecting her childhood abuse onto her kids (I’m sure unknowingly) which can confuse children & make them feel ashamed of their body & afraid of men. To this day I find myself sexist towards men & shameful of showing my body.

I'm now a 20 year old male and it really helped me understand women's bodies and how they are different. I think, however, boys are not taught about body image from their father figures. In fact, most boys never talk about things such as circumcision and size of the penis and its appearances. Boys need more of this conversation.

If we walked by or she called us to bring her something, she didn't make a big deal to cover-up in from of my sister, my brother or I. Similar to Adrienne's experience. Nudity wasn't a big deal in my household. She said, she didn't want her children to be embarrassed by her nudity in the event when she gets older we may have to bathe her, son or daughters. That day did come and we were totally comfortable bathing and caring for my mom. All of us.

My mother is the Queen of the house so she does wat she wants. My mother would walk in her bra or In a towel nd I’ve nvr questioned it because it wz always natural for us. My mother always told me nd my brothers tht we came from her body, her stretch marks came from us, her weight came from carrying 3 children, her skin is different because she focused on our health rather then her own. I’ve learned to look at my mothers body wit respect her body grew a family Nd her body has protected us all so I see my mother as a temple Nd her flaws r her battle scars.

I honestly just think it depends on age and the gender of the child. Like Adrienne said, some cultures do it differently. I also think it depends on if the parent is a single parent or not.

Like if when not to keep showing yourself to your kids at a certain age but ok yeah. If they do culture appreciation I get it. I feel like if Garcelle had girls I feel like it would have been different but boys it is. Since there both opposite sex it can get a little awkward I guess & weird at least from my point of view.

[@jin8640]

in our household we were raised to knock/announce our presence before entering the room. ofc there shouldn’t be shame of your body but there should be boundaries with it. i believe if it’s same sex than it’s okay until a certain age as long as their comfortable and because like jeannie pointed out some parts should remain private or special. honestly all of this scares me so much to have kids one day because i don’t know exactly when or how to do things and the thought of someone sexually assaulting a child is beyond heartbreaking. 😔

@@harlemw651 nobody said anything about violating boundaries, if someone feels uncomfortable they're obviously free to express that but don't project your own discomfort onto other people

Your topics have gotten soooo much more pleasant. I missed my old girl chats where I can listen and it be not stressful and just be fun. Nice break from the controversial or political stuff constantly on T.V. Great job guys❤️ Love the girl stuff🙌

Aww that moment when Loni mentioned Jeannie’s motherhood.. I got teary-eyed

[@janwoburn447]

While I get the cultural thing of families openness of removing the shame of nudity it should not be expected to be a practice in every culture. Some cultures are just more conservative and drawing boundaries of what is appropriate or not is part an individual's conscience and what's the standard of morality for the particular culture. Aiding one another to become comfortable with self I'm not as certain is a literal process I think would be an introspective investigation if I would dig a little deeper

My son asked me when he was younger , “Why your legs got them lumps?” Sir, that’s my cellulite 🥴

[@raquelm2352]

Word! 🤣😂 Adrienne -it’s definitely like that in NYC LATIN homes 🏙 🌉 🗽 😄😁

[@DJMiaMoonBaby]

Putting cute names over anatomy makes it more taboo. There's nothing wrong with calling a body part by its scientific name lol I grew up with my grandma who is a nurse and she taught me early

Exactly 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯

It's important to clarify and explain with your child, about there body etc.,

They had this conversation before when Perez Hilton bathed with his son. Only OG The Real watchers remember.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how beat Loni is 😍😍 her makeup is on point! I need a tutorial please!!

[@victoriasp41]

I told my kids there are public areas of your body and private areas. Public areas are seen often and are OK for family to touch if you say it is alright. Private places are just that, not to be shown and only for you to touch.

[@simphiwehlatshwayo5007]

when my brother turned 8, he would chase us out of the room when he takes a bath he won't change/dress or bath in front of us (by us I mean all his sisters) so now I think it would be inappropriate for me to do that in front of him I respect him

[@meandmycoworker7678]

Damn For a minute I thought I was hearing my mom call me Juaannnn!!!!! Tráeme la toalla!!!!!

[@techiescrapper]

Really great conversation

[@marylinehappy8504]

It also depends on the kids , his rate of learning things & what could possibly affect him in his environment. I wouldn’t put an age limit on it but rather pay close attention & try to find out to what they know & how they process it . From there I would judge if I gotta stop it at age 3 or prolong it to age 9 etc ….

[@senoraantero2836]

Definitely depends on age. I have two girls and I shower with them or dress in front of them. Now when they get older they may not actually see me naked. But I have taught them and repeated to them anytime I bathe them that no one touches etc and I tell them the actual name “vagina” so Lord forbid there’s ever any issues, they’re telling me the actual name and not confused. Their pediatrician actually helped me with that. She told the girls during an exam “now I am only checking you here because I’m a doctor and your mommy is here” letting them know the difference etc.

[@XoeNatalia]

I stopped watching the real and I thought it was because it wasn’t good anymore it was just that it wasn’t in person. I’m falling in love with this show again.

[@DM-lr5xz]

My dad hated when men family members would put me on their laps as a kid. I don’t remember but I’m glad he was always aware of ANY possible dangers. There’s bad people out there starts with family.

[@OP-do9lz]

As a side note I just have to say this. The Real is a pleasure with these four ladies. They work together so well as a team while appreciating everyone's authentic individuality. In this current team with Gracelle it's clear there is no toxicity between any of them. Now the focus is on the conversation, not on underlying issues. All of them speak their mind but between these four there is that warmth also. Their team-work doesn't feel forced by any means. It's very natural and real. What a relief! The show is now a joy and has this realness without any underlying issues. Garcelle was a great choice into the team. Hopefully the Real will have these four for a long, long time!

[@shaesmith8526]

My mom still get dressed in front of us 😭😭😭 SHE BE LIKE: “we got the same body parts my just alil bigger

[@adelavalladares]

Same what Adrianne said… I was sexually assaulted at 6 by my uncle and I got traumatized. And now I have a 1 year old. I let her play with her uncles but I don’t let them babysit and I don’t let them change her. And as she gets older it’ll be the same no sitting on uncle’s lap.

Thank you. Mother did this even when my male cousins were in their late teens. It made me very uncomfortable. She also used the bathroom with the door open screaming it's her house and she could do what she wants.
