OT- But Is It Normal For Kids To...

[ABCDaycareMN]

Only wear a diaper at home? Fb friends are always posting videos and pictures with their kids only wearing a diaper.

Laziness?

I always have my kids clothed and bathed. And if I post a pic my house must be picked up and clean.

I do look in the background of photos! Lol

Does anyone else?

When my kids were little they were often in just a diaper and it wasn't laziness. I thought they were so cute like that. I have the cutest picture of my youngest in a diaper and cowgirl boots. I love that pic! And my house isn't always picked up for pictures.

I would just assume different personality styles. I'm more of a "whatever" type of person.

Agreed. My kids wear clothes during daycare hours, otherwise a covered bum is all I require. I'll only get to hug their sweet, soft bodies for so long... lovethis

My DS is very often naked from the waistdown at home because we're working on early potty training/EC.

once my kids learn to take their clothes off there's not much keeping them on...

and sure, sometimes i'm lucky to get the butt covered before the squirmy toddler rolls away. and I'm too lazy to chase them down. Or they threw a fit about getting dressed again so, "Your body, your choice" because there's nothing more than "adult agenda" saying that clothing is mandatory.

Not to mention that diaper only makes potty training easier....

My 4 year old daughter starts each day with clean clothes and combed fixed hair. Half the time she looks like a hot mess by lunchtime. She changes clothes for dress up and her hair gets messy and tangled. She loves her clothes and already has an opinion about them, but if she had her way, she would wear nothing. If no daycare kiddos are here, she if often just in panties or panties and a tank top (even in winter...in KS). It's not due to me being lazy, she is just more comfortable that way. However, I would not post a picture of her looking that way and she knows if someone comes over she needs to get something on before making an appearance.

This.... but we have hardwoods and my kids are always cold. Even as babies they were in long sleeved onesies and pants until summer and then just a diaper.

If someone comes over, or I am taking a picture, clothes on.

This would be me too!

DD is always bathed and in clean clothes, with the exception of daddy days ::

DH always jokes she'd be running around in a diaper, mix mashed outfit, or the same clothes a few days in a row if he was in charge.

Mine never did but they didnt have that "I want to be naked" feeling. I would have let them though if we were home alone. And I would not post it on the internet.

Me on the other hand..I hate clothes. The only reason I wear them is to not scar my boys. ::

I always made sure my (now 17months) son was dressed and had his hair done . My older kids (15,9,7) have to look decent &clothed, in nothing stained or raggedy on days any one comes over or I have child care.
My youngest son I did EC and he is transitioning to being pottutrained now in under wear (stays dry, yay!) but because he started pooping his pants after months of going poop in the potty, its easier to have him dressed in a cute t-shirt with baby legs(leg warmers) ,socks, and undies . It helps me get him to the potty faster.
Echomom, I'm so exited to see another person who is into the EC&early potty training thing!

Why is that lazy? It's been normal forever.

That's like someone saying "It's uptight to make kids wear clothes all the time". I think it might be regional though... I have more pictures of my kids and daycare kids in nothing but diapers than I do of them dressed.

I, live in an area where it's too hot to wear clothes. But, even if I didn't, as long as it's warm enough, it's normal, acceptable and pretty darn cute.

I also don't think it's laziness to not dress your child. DS is often left in his footy pjs until bath if they are still clean when he wakes up! We live in a cold wintery region so if he is warm and clean I leave him!! It also cuts down on my laundry! As far as making sure the house if picked up for pictures-that is soooooooooo me too!! I always look in people's backgrounds!! Some of them make me go ! I think it's just different personalities as someone else said. To each his/her own!

Yep, that
It is cold right now, so no. But when it is warm, they all run around half dressed (the older kids live in swimsuits.)

my kids were in just diapers alot when little enough for diapers, my almost 4 yr old daughter now, is always different she changes 50 times a day, I honestly don't even really notice as long as she has panties on! I have to toddler girls right now, who hate pants, one hates a diaper also, but must wear onesies, and they are always in their diapers and a shirt, I do put the pants on periodically through the day, but they come right off, and I don't fight it, as long as the most important areas are covered, I am okay with those little legs. And I would have had no problem posting a pic of my little kid in a diaper, but I wouldn't post a pic of my daughter in her panties, I should rephrase by age, 2 and under, I think diaper pics are cute, I for one am not a fan of the 3 and up diaper crowd, gets a little less cute.
