[QUOTE="DDD, post: 527461, member: 35"] Of course in special circumstances there is no choice. on the other hand, lol, here's a different viewpoint for the thread. I personally found it preferable to raise our extended family with the concept of adapting to social norms, respecting others as well as yourself and contributing to the family environment. That was true in a bunch of areas. We wanted a home where any of us could have company and not worry about the house being dirty. We wanted a home where each of us could have time alone by going to our rooms and in fact we encouraged seeking solitude if you felt angry or too tired or wanted to be quiet when the rest of the family was in a noisy mood. We always knocked on doors before going into bedrooms or bathrooms. Personally I wanted the kids to know that it was not OK to walk into any occupied space with-o permission. Married couples need privacy, exploring kids need privacy and if visiting other homes (or having visitors at our home) there was no reason for anyone to see or feel uncomfortable. Out of the eight children only two visited homes where the rules included less modest behavior. One told me later and one called using our fake "have to call home" plan to expedite leaving the environment. None of the kids have hangups about nudity, by the way. Yes I'm sure they each saw their siblings undressed and likely friends too when they did sleepovers. I may not be explaining it accurately but for our family it worked well. DDD [/QUOTE]
