\n I was raised by a free-spirited hippie chick who let it all hang out. Literally! She was all about having no hang-ups, communication, accountability, telling the truth and keeping it real \u2014 maybe sometimes too real.<\/p>\n

In turn, I am a grown-up person who loves to talk and am open about my true experiences and feelings. I\u2019m not one for masks. Truly, my mother was perfect in oh so many ways, but something new dawned on me last night. Could it be my mother may have had a flaw?<\/p>\n

The question of nudity in the home came up at dinner last night amongst a few of our friends. Now because my mom was always streaking in her true bohemian way, I will say that I am very comfortable with my body and do not judge myself harshly over extra pounds and such.<\/p>\n

My mother was not the typical beauty that we see glamorized in magazines, and she impressed upon me the value and gorgeousness of our many shapes, sizes, colors and textures. She didn\u2019t think thin was beautiful or not; in her estimation it was just one expression of beauty.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, because my mom was so open with her own body I\u2019ve never been embarrassed with mine, or apologetic of its often fluctuating form. Which is hugely important, I\u2019d say! Although \u2014 contrary to popular belief \u2014 nude scenes are not my favorite!<\/p>\n

To add to my unconventional childhood and the parental figures in it who set the tone of my adult life, I also had a step-mother who is a free spirit. Different from my mom\u2019s 70s pursuit of freedom, my step-mother was an 80s rebel who \u2014 to this day \u2014 makes her own rules and doesn\u2019t ask for permission to live a life of happiness.<\/p>\n

On that note, she was also someone who streaked around, sunbathed topless, walked around naked and might be seen wearing a sexy, revealing outfit. I have felt looking back that these two wild women left their indelible mark on me in the most positive of ways. I too, see myself as a free-spirit and not self-conscious a bit.<\/p>\n

Until last night\u2019s dinner, that is. When a group of our friends were talking about our kids as usual, it suddenly dawned on me that I might be more conservative than I\u2019d always thought. As I said, the subject of nudity in the home and in front of the children came up. I realized that I don\u2019t sleep in the nude, I don\u2019t think Ron and I should make it a habit to walk around naked and that \u2014 although I\u2019ve loved bathing and showering with Easton over the last several years \u2014 it might be nearing its natural end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
