Summary

The author and their partner are comfortable being naked at home, leaving doors open and not covering up when getting dressed. They are unsure when to start covering up as their children get older, worrying about losing the connectedness and intimacy that comes with their comfort with nudity. They acknowledge the need for their children to set their own boundaries regarding nudity and plan to respect their wishes when they are ready to cover up.
