British presenter Stacey Solomon shared a few months ago (Mother's Day) a photo bathing with her two children of nine and five years on her Instagram account.
In it we can see her playing with her children with water guns and having a good time together. However, many people did not find it so idyllic. After publishing it She received all kinds of criticism for bathing with her children and showing herself naked (people usually bathe naked) in front of them.
Stacey felt very embarrassed by the comments and taking advantage of an interview they did in recent days on British television, spoke on the subject and responded to those who criticized her:
"Someone who is horrified by the thought of parents sharing a bathroom with their children, I think they have problems."Isn't being a mum just the best thing in the world. Even when they're shooting you in the face with their water pistols happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful Mothers, grandmothers, careers, aunties, sisters, best friends you're all mothers in my eyes, one way or another
And he added:
"It's normal in our house, it's almost like having dinner, going to bed and reading a bedtime story, taking a bath together is how we communicate and socialize and that's an important part of our daily routine."
Nudity in front of children
I completely agree with the mother that there is nothing obscene about taking a bath with the children. Watching their parents naked, changing clothes or showering, causes children to acquire a notion of the human body naturally.
We tend to sexualize the fact of showing ourselves naked in front of children when the body is something absolutely normal I see no reason to hide. Unlike, It is healthy for our children to see us naked, without distinguishing whether they are children with the mother or girls with the father. There are no obscene intentions in doing so, neither on the part of the fathers nor of the mothers, nor of course of the little ones.
I see much more normal that they see us naked than to teach them to hide the body, although that will depend on the sense of modesty each one has. Everyone lives nudity differently. There are people who do not like their children to see them naked and it is totally respectable that they do not bathe with them, but hence to criticize other parents who want to do it, I see it absurd.
