Several of the moms complained to the hostess about this activity and said it was inappropriate. The only females present were the hostess, her 12 year old daughter, and my wife. A couple of boys jumped in in their underwear. Most of the boys stripped and went in the pool butt naked. After several activities and cake, the mom told the boys they could go skinny dipping in the pool. My wife is a good friend of his mother and agreed to help her with the party. His best friend is an 8yo whose mother was throwing him a birthday party. My wife said that's beyond her comfort zone when the kids are around The girlfriend has suggested to my wife that they drop the bikini bottoms and go for an all. The girlfriend goes topless like my wife, even when my son is around and this seems very normal to my son who isn't bothered by it. My wife has a girlfriend who often comes over to swim and tan. One of the other mothers was not concerned at all about it and said 'boys will be boys'. It was not a big deal for our daughter as she has seen her brother naked for years. The neighbor thought it was' indecentt' and was even more upset that our daughter was present when it happened. My wife got a neighbor wife upset when she let my son and 3 other boys (include the neighbor's son) go skinny dipping in our pool.

Everyone is comfortable with each other's choice in swim attire.However, we have found there's quite a difference in other people's attitude toward nudity in the pool. My son likes skinny dipping and my wife usually wears just a bikini bottom when its just family around for swimming and tanning. WE are kind of inconsistent in what we are comfortable wearing or not wearing in the pool.


Our family (mom, dad, son 10yo, daughter7yo) has a backyard pool.
