Wow, these are some great responses!
I especially agree with all those who said that seeing your parents nude is a teaching opportunity. Also, taking baths together with your young child is very nurturing and creates bonds. I can remember my mom my brother and I all in the tub together. Of course I was only 5, but those are things that I remember when I think of the happier times of my childhood.
I do believe, however, that there is a cut off period for boys to see their moms and girls to see their dads. (As a matter of fact, I haven't seen anyone address the daughter seeing her dad.)
But to say the least, I would rather my children experiment on me where I can give them educated answers, rather than some other child who probably knows less than my child does.
