Some of the other parents in the bleachers were snickering. When she wore them to a school sporting event, my husband accused me of being a 'bad friend' for not telling her that her rear view was getting the wrong kind of attention. Heck, there's a mirror on every wall, so she must have liked what she saw, and it's none of my business. Is it possible that they take after their mother?ĭear Abby: My best friend and I do everything together and I love her, so when she showed up at the gym in booty shorts, I didn't say a word, even though they don't flatter her one bit. You are just not as comfortable in your skin as your sons and their 'jock' friends are. Am I being a prude in thinking this is unusual or inappropriate?ĭear Stumped: I see nothing inappropriate about what your sons and their friends are doing. While I'm glad they are comfortable with their bodies and who they are, it still bothers me somewhat. It's like a big nude fest with them and their friends. When going out, they get naked in the bathroom, fixing their hair, shaving, brushing their teeth, etc. They also 'air dry' after showers by walking around in towels, sometimes watching TV or goofing off for hours while in their towels.
