Do you insist that your children wear nightclothes?

[CurlyMophead]

This is a question for all of you who regularly sleep in the nude. Do you allow or even encourage your children to do likewise, or do you insist that they wear some form of clothing to bed?

My children put their pj's on about an hour before bed. My eldest who's 6 will sometimes take her pj's off once she gets into bed and then put them back on in the mornng. She does get really hot when she's asleep so it's fine by me if she chooses to sleep that way.

DH and I always sleep in the nude, and have both done so since our own respective childhoods. Although we have never made any secret of our preference as far as our three children are concerned, we have always encouraged them to choose how they sleep without any compulsion one way or the other. The result - all three (12,11,9) sleep in their birthday suits throughout the year, and have never shown the slightest inclination to wear anything at all in bed.

I guess I have to confess the reason I don't encourage them to wear pjs is otherwise while they are sleeping I have to undress them to have to have a good look. Sometimes they wake up and as the eldest is now 11 I'm worried he'll realise that its not the "norm" for your mum to undress and watch you as you sleep

We don't have to lie. Children are beautiful gift which you should marvel in. Ever aspect of them.

Thanks Sally. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.

I insist that my son, 17, and daughter, 15, wear pyjamas and nightie respectively.

Do you not think you should marvel in them? especially as they mature so beautifully.

If I had a 17 year old son who was willing to sleep nude I wouldn't stop him. Can you think of anything better than walking in on your son hard or having a wet dream?

I dont insist that my two wear them, my daughter sometimes just goes in her underwear, especially at the minute with the weather being so hot, my son went last night in his nappy and vest, but he took his vest off through the night. I tell them to go and get pyjamas, they put them on sometimes, but i feel it's up to them whethe rthey want to wear them all night.

Up until now, our kids have generally slept in PJs/nighties, but after the hot summer we've had here in the UK, DH and I don't have any issue with them sleeping nude. After the first couple of really hot nights, we told them that they were now old enough (girls 9 and 7, boy 5) to choose what to wear to bed each night, provided the choice was from PJs/nighties, underwear or birthday suits. Jeans and school uniform were most definitely out. On the first night, with bedroom temperatures well over 25, our recommendation of birthday suits was universally and enthusiastically taken up and despite the cooler nights recently, nobody has even considered either of the other two options. Playground gossip during the first couple of weeks of the new school term suggests that our youngsters weren't the only ones introduced to the benefits of sleeping nude this summer,and bedtime conversations, with our older daughter in particular, suggest that lots of households, ours included, will soon be donating unwanted childhood nightwear to the next jumble sale. The funny thing is that DH and I have been sleeping in the nude since long before we were married, and have never made any secret of this as far as the children are concerned, yet not one of us has ever questioned why the children dressed for bed and we didn't!
