My son David recently moved back home after a dismal failure in his first semester of college. He's nineteen now but he's still struggling to make it on his own, what with going to school and only having time for a part-time job. But he's our only child and we want to see him succeed so we allowed him come back home and stay without having to worry about rent.
Since David has been gone I have started to become accustomed to being more carefree around the house as far as clothes go, which my husband Jim doesn't seem to mind at all. I enjoy being naked and I enjoy the freedom of being able to walk from my bedroom to the bathroom to the kitchen wearing a pair of socks and nothing else if I feel like it. Now that he is back home I have to be more careful about just how carefree I am these days.
When David was young, up until he was about ten years old, he was not shy at all. He made no fuss about nudity at all, he would get dressed with his bedroom door open and walk around the house in his underwear often and not seem embarrassed at all about it. Later on however, once he hit his teens, he changed dramatically. He was much more reserved, was easily embarrassed and would never be caught without clothes on. I guess this isn't unusual for teenagers, their bodies are developing and changing rapidly and they feel awkward even amongst family because of it. I'm sure I felt the same way when I was a teenager, although I don't recall ever being that shy.
