Should my child be nude at nudist resort?

4 months ago

Okay so I know this seems wierd - but bear with me please. My estranged partner (3 years in family court) has taken our little boy on holiday to a nudist centre - and allowed him to walk around nude as well as himself. I am a little worried about the sorts of people these places invite - and also my little boy being naked. He is 5.5 years old. Now am I being over sensitive here - should I relax and got with it? My initial thoughts and feelings were that of horror.......can I take some advice from other mums - would you tollerate this? He is planning on taking him back again this year.........

If this was me in your situation, I would try to strop my ex from taking him again. I don't like the idea of my children being taken to nudist resorts. That's my opinion though.

Is this a long term interest of your ex's or just something he likes doing from time to time? I don't think this is morally wrong in any way but I think your ex should wait until your son is old enough to make up his own mind as to whether he wants to go or not. I just feel he's a bit young.

That's my opinion anyway - would be interesting to see other peoples' takes on this

Don't sweat the small stuff. It will make you stinky.

Hi Nina - thnak you so much for your repy.

Is this a long term 'hobbie' - no I don't think so - worryingly I would suggest he is a little inquisitive 'sexually' he claims to be returning for further weeks after the 2 weeks spent with my son - so fly back and then back out there again.

I have my thoughts on why he is there - and they are not good - although if I were to get my solicitor involved and go back to court because of this I am not sure where it would end up! I have spent so much money in court and don't want to go back BUT my son's welfare is sooo important - I would do anything.

I am looking forward to other posts - I need to get a few views to be able to decide what to do next.

I will add I know he loves his son and tells me he wouldn't do anything to jeopodise his safety - but his made me wonder

Glad I could help and that I didn't cause offense! Why don't you try telling your ex how you feel? Maybe he doesn't realise how you feel about all this?

Not at all - I have tried - he doesn't care about me - and won't listen - hence having to take the difficult and expensive court route.

Absolutely no ofence taken - thanks again

my goodness! i would kill my husband if he ever took any of our children to a nudest resort! its not a place for kids to be! if they want to go then they can decide when they are MUCH older lol its not for him to tell your son he must walk around naked! your son will tell you how he feels about it. do you get to talk to him on the fone? i suggest you ask if hes comfortable being naked round all those other people?! I hope you get things sorted and i hope He comes to his senses and realises its not for little kids! Good Luck hun! x

Tell those closest to you that you love them as you never know when they might be gone!

That's a really good point of Nykita's - your son may not even want to go! Talk to him alone and then if he doesn't want to go, talk to him with your ex. You say your ex loves him, so he won't want to make his son unhappy will he?

If that doesn't work, then it will have to be solicitors etc again. But you're right, nothing is more important than your son.

Our kids are deffinatley what matter and if they are not comfortable then we need to do something to help them! If your ex is taking him against your sons will then there can be something done! Just have to talk to him first and see if he was ok with it x

Tell those closest to you that you love them as you never know when they might be gone!

I agree, its very disturbing taking a child on a nudist holiday...if an adult wants to do this, fine, but not with a child, its a disturbing image for a child, these people who tend to want to be naked, are old and wrinkley, everything already hanging south,ick, it would trouble me, never mind a child.

Why cant your x choose a child friendly holiday, something your son would like, something more normal, ick, there are reasons we wear clothes, not to frighten the young!.

hope that helps at all, I cant use the word "DISTURBING" enough, sorry   x
