We have been raising our 4 children in the nudist lifestyle. Are there any similar parents?

Amy, I think it's great you're raising your kids in such a wonderful environment. Keep up the great work!

Yes we are out there we are a family of 4 son 13 daughter 10 and we have chosen to live a modest life style. Which for us means we are naked when ever practical and possible. Oh what freedom this life style offers

Hey Amy, No you’re not alone, although at times it may seem so.  You say you were raised in an open family.  Not one hundred percent sure what that means.  Your family were practicing nudist, had an open door policy, or just a relaxed dress code?

I responded to this post 2 days ago and did know it showed me as a “guest”  I / We to are a practicing nudist family,  only not so much practicing now days just doing what come naturally.

At 27 this life style was introduced to me by my future husband, who desired a life partner, aka a naked wife.  Fifteen years and 2 kids later we are a nudist family too.  I agree that at lease in American society they have such ill-perceived beliefs based on want, a feeling of right and wrong?  We who have been liberated in our minds or spiritually look at this issue from a completely different perspective.

So we who have been set free of the shackles of clothes live a more stress free life, howbeit isolated from a society that looks down on something that they do not, by choice understand.  They only look at nudity from their own perverted eyes were every thing is about sex (no clothes equals sex period Right!!)

Anyway, you’re not alone at all.

Hi Amy ...I am Jen and also raised in an open nudist family.  We are a family of 4 , a son 10 daughter 8 and am now pregnant with my 3rd soon too another son, we love the nudist lifestyle with other friends and family members.

Hi Jen, nice to hear from another unafraid and unapologetic mother, family who have embraced the nudist lifestyle! We too are a family of 4 a son who just turned 13 and a daughter 10-year-old daughter. Probably no surprise that their father, suggested, the lifestyle to me in 2007 even before we were a thing. He made it very clear that he was looking for a partner, a soul mate, not someone to make his life miserable. That if I wasn’t able to accept being nude, who not only accepted but fully embraced the lifestyle. Then there was really no need to proceed further. His honesty and openness quickly got my attention. Nude whenever possible and practical was his motto the directive.

After 15 years of marriage, I have never regretted my decision to follow his lead. I believe that we have a much stronger marriage as well as family because of our chosen lifestyle. Outside of the nudist home life we live very normal lives.

Hello Amy and Jen. My name is Susan and I agree with the both of you. We are a blended family and before we got married we discussed how we were going to raise our 2 kiddos. (his & mine) We felt that the nudist lifestyle would give them a better them a better self-image of themselves and also better self esteem. We didn't want to raise them as we had been, Both of your parents were very old fashion and quite conservative. Something we didn't want for ours. After 20+ years of marriage there has never been any regrets from anyone. Our marriage is very strong and this has made for loving and secure family

It’s quite apparent that there are more like minded women, wives, mother’s who have accepted, adapted the nudist live style in their homes with husband and children present for whatever reasons.
It was nice to from each of you Amy, Jen and Susan, I would love to have an on going dialog with you to better understand where your coming from and how you have adapted
to this lifestyle as the kids got older. Like the percentage of time everyone is naked and in what situations? I would venture to say that my husband is naked about 95% of the time while home (whenever practical and possible). I usually follow his lead 75% of the time mostly when in the kitchen cooking etc, cleaning, watching a movie with the family

Everyone is most comfortable sleeping in the nude. So it’s normal for everyone to be naked in the morning and evening hours. Sometimes as early as dinner time. We do not push or require them to adhere to our dress code or lack there of as they are free to express themselves as they wish.

Not sure why my last post did not show up under my username instead of Guest

But I am interested in an open dialog with likeminded women, wife's. Ups, down, obstacles strategies.

The only strategy I have is I follow my dear husband's lead. If he is naked then I should be too. As he is the leader of the home. I do not want to seem in conflict with his desire for this lifestyle. As he made it
abundantly clear prior to marriage. The children understand that they are more than welcome to have guest over, they just know to clear it beforehand. No need for any embarrassing encounters. As they could walk into the back door and see me in all my glory working in the kitchen. Something they see just about everyday. Or walk in on their father with unexpecting friend.

Hey I'm new to this but my dream is to have a open nudist family with a wife and kids. I see alot of good and positive with this lifestyle and want to be apart of a open minded community with family always being a priority. I hope I could be apart of the community and hope to meet a forever partner who is accepting of this and wants the same things in life.

The Man;

Hopefully when you meet that woman, your be open and honest with her and make you wishes known early on. That’s what My future husband did! Put his wishes known that he was looking for a nudist wife, partner, mother putting it out there and made it known right from the beginning. He was clear and unapologetic about it.

You’ll know pretty fast if she is at lease willing to consider it and go from there or just move on, No need in both of you moving into a relationship that is going to fail in the end if you go into it knowing your hears desire is not going to be fulfilled

++Greetings everyone. I saw these posts a few days ago and wanted to mull them over in my mind first. First and foremost the most important aspect of being nude at home is "communication" and that means everyone. Between husband and wife and if the kids are old enough with them also. When we got married our 2, (his and mine) were 3 and 5 at the time so the transition was fairly easy. My feelings on you following in your husbands foot steps by being nude when he is, may set the wrong message. A nudist household is a way of life, not a requirement. In our home, either one of us might be dressed at different times. We are usually nude though. I agree with Jen (?) I think who made the suggestion of chatting in an open dialog.
Keep smiling and Happy Holidays.

Over a year ago Amy bravely posted how she has been raising her 4 children in a unique and challenging lifestyle.  There wasn't much information gotten from her post other than she was raising her wolf pack (pups) in what she believes to be a healthy nudist lifestyle and the challenges that this chosen lifestyle presents. She didn’t mention how she and her husband might have mutually come to this decision. Who’s ideal was it.  I don’t believe that one comes to this sort of a decision over night.  How was this seed planted?  To what degree does she (the family) practice the lifestyle?  These are questions I would have asked her if given the chance.

I as a mother of 2 myself, a boy age 13 and girl age 10, agree whole heartily with her in I think our society has missed up so badly in this area with its outdated Victorian values. Over sex TV, movies and magazines.  Have polluted everything that was created “GOOD” even in our nudity.  They certainly are not grounded in the truth.  Yes there is difficulty in this chosen lifestyle, as we too are raising our children in this way.  

 I'm just wondering about the sincerity of her post as she was longing for, wishing to connect with other like-minded mothers, parents.  Yet no follow up?  Puzzling??

I agree that it’s not a lifestyle that you advertise at your local PTA, nor within you church, quite possibly even your closest friends don’t even know.  So, she reached out here looking for likeminded support.  Yet where has she been, where did she go in the past year?

Often post like this are highjacked by perverted people that think all that goes on in a nudist home are nightly orgies.  That just proves how little their minds are and how sick our society is.  It’s not a true reflection on us parents who want our children to retain their innocence.  Not look at every woman, girl as a sex object that is to be had.  

Oh well I've rambled on much to long.  Just wondering what the true purpose of this post was

Hello and greetings; DeMotherOf2. You are right! Where did Amy and Jen disappear to? You are, by no means just rambling for no apparent reason. When a subject or topic of this nature is just dropped out in front of you by someone, they should be adult enough to respond. That is, unless they are not who they say they are and are just on a fishing expedition.

I agree that this lifestyle isn't one to be discussed at your local PTA nor with in the church but if we are open minded adults, it should be. Well silly me, I guess I'm asking too much of people and society today.

The other issue that I see is, that since this is an open forum, people might be a little nervous about posting there real first name and thoughts about nudism and the lifestyle. There really needs to be some form of communication for the "HONEST and TRUE" to be able to chat.

We have lived a nudists lifestyle for years and have found it to be very healthy for everyone.

Keep smiling :) Susan

Well, Hello Susan; and Greetings; right back at you. It is indeed silly that we as mature adults who coming to an open and honest decision with our husbands as to what kind of lifestyle we would embrace once married, that we are the ones who are made to feel somehow ashamed of our actions. wired would be the operative word.

Well trust me I do not feel weird in the lease. I feel no ashamed nor am I the lease bit embarrassed as I go about my daily routine void of any clothes whatsoever. I find it quit liberating as well as invigorating. I’ll be 44 my next birthday. I did not marry until I was 29, I have a master’s degree in elementary education. met my future husband online when I was 27 who made it abundantly clear what he was looking for in a life partner, a soul mate, his significant other. He wasn’t interested in a cleaning lady, a cook, or even a sex partner, He was interested in a partner an equal partner, to share the rest of his (our lives) together as one. I was to have equal say, partnership in all areas of our life together save one. There was to be not compromising when it came to nudity. I was to be naked whenever possible or practical. If he was naked then I was to be as well.

Yes, he was looking for a naked wife. A woman who would give him the clothes off of her back. After all he was willing to give me everything within his power to give. He was dead serious. At the time I was a foreigner living halfway around the world. He was divorced almost 10 years after being married for 25 years. His marriage ended because you guessed ot after almost 25 years of marriage, his wife refused to compromise any why when it came to a nudist lifestyle. As if marriage is a 50/50 proposition. Your either 100% in our you’re not.

Outside of or age difference, and the nudity thing our profiles matched up pretty good. Both are very religious, Protestant, Baptist. To be exact. Pretty amazing beings, I come from a country that is primarily Roman Catholic. He's all in with the Biblical, Ephesian 5 “Instructions for Christian Household” I know that he loves me, as he loves and fears God. I have no doubt that he (my husband) would lay down his life for me. He treats me as the weaker vessel. As over the past 15 years he has given me a life that I otherwise could only have hoped for. Yes, I truly believe that God brought us together. There were to many hurdles and obstacles to overcome for that not to be true. There are times that he feels that I might be chilly, and he offers me a comforter to cover in as we sit and watch a movie. It gets chilly here in Delaware.

I am not a slave, or prisoner, I have a closet full of clothes that I ware. I have a passion for cooking (challenging sometimes while nude), enjoy gardening always with clothes on (neighbors wouldn’t understand), enjoy nights out with the girls (co-workers, friends) a normal life to be sure. Just yesterday, my husband and I went to a school event where our 7th grade son was receiving awards, honor roll marking periods 1 & 2, as well as other achievement awards. So, our children are not in the lease bit affected by our lifestyle.

This lifestyle is not at all about sex. Outside of a pat or smack on my bare butt as he passes by sometimes, my husband is very respectful. There is no googling, fondling or other things that are best left behind closed doors between a husband and his wife. He is not parading around with a semi or full erection or secreting fluids. Those people with small minds might think just because you are naked doesn’t mean you lose control. Orgies are happening ever second of the day.

Oh well rambling again. As I share some about our chosen lifestyle and thoughts.

Thanks for sharing, Susan. Just waiting for the perverts to start trolling and making their vulgar, little mind, comments. Bring it on. they are the ones that have a problem.

Aways wearing a Smile
