Totally normal in our family.Is it inappropriate to go to the toilet in front of your child (a man and female child) whilst that child is in the bath?
Both for whichever parent is watching the kids in the bath to use the toilet; as well as for there to be one person in the shower/bath, one on the toilet, one brushing their teeth, one using the mirror for hair/makeup/dance moves/etc. The bathroom was always Grand Central Station …both when I was a kid, and after I grew up & had kids. No abuse, nor sexual abuse, in either.
Pretty much every non-abusive household I know? Splits into 2 camps:
- Those whose bathroom is Grand Central Station, with everyone in there, at once. (Why do we even HAVE a door???)
- Those whose bathroom is constantly getting the door pounded on and people screaming at the person inside to hurry up, and people racing/fighting over who gets to use it. (Oy! You! If you don’t stop pounding on that door I will take it OFF it’s hinges! And you! Take you private time somewhere other people don’t need to be! I swear, it’s like you lot were raised by wolves. Consideration for others, people! Use it!)
Ditto to the whole casual nudity question; lots of non-abusive families practice casual nudity at home, and lots don’t.
Neither, all by itself, is indicative of abuse.
