Family Nudists What do you do when a "non-naturist" teenager moves in for a year?
| I have an exchange student from Brazil who turned out to be extremely modest. I have been a naturist all my life and have raised my kids the same way (even though it didn't work with one of them). She knows how I am, she has seen me naked on several occassions, yet she still may have some issues with it. I though at some point she would get used to it and even consider the lifestyle herself. I have been considerate to her comfort level which in her words mean "not too close" and I respect that even though she means more than 10 ft. at times. At the same time some things still bother me. For example the hot tub. This is a very large, deep, 8 person hot tub with lots of room. She insists that I wear a swimsuit which I hate doing. Do I give in to what she wants or do I say, "it's my house and that is the way I do things"? | |
| In my opinion, this is something that should have been addressed before the exchange student moved it. Rightly or wrongly, I think you open yourself up to legal issues down the road, and with the school system if she complains. Although I know your intentions are the best, and it is very cool that you took an exchange student in, if she is going to continue to stay in your house then you need to protect yourself and your family as much as possible. Again, just my opinion. | |
| Thank you for the opinion. I did discuss it with her from the very beginning and she told me that it didn't offend her, she had no issue with it, and that she understood that it was my house my rules. She also told me that her older brother (20) spends a lot of time nude. It is a shame that we can't live the way we want without worrying about the outside world. | |
| We have considered hosting an exchange student ourselves, but being a naturist family, this is a concern for us too. You said she is somewhat ok with it, so long as you keep a distance, so I would just continue with the original arrangement and if she doesn't grow to feel more accepting of the naturist philosophy, there's nothing more you can do and will just have to be content with what little bit you can practice at home already. It will only last until the end of school, so bare with it a bit longer. | |
| We had an exchange student from Vienna, Austria. The Europeons are much more comfortable with nudity than South Americans. He was nude almost more than we were. He had just turned 17. Two years later we had his brother. They would even kiss me goodbye on the lips when I dropped them off at school. No American boy would ever do that! | |
| With the hot tub I'd explain that if she was too uncomfortable to use it with you when you are nude then she is welcome to use it when you are done with it. If it's just a comfortable distance she wants then she should be ok with this solution. | |
| wow sorry just seen how old post was. she's probablhy moved out by now. | |
| It's always good to have new members go back and revitalize an old thread. Who knows what new conversation it will spark! |
