SS not wearing underwear

mndblwn's picture

Are DH and I being stupid? SS8 doesn't want to wear underwear sometimes. When he is with us he knows he needs to but there are times when he sneaks not wearing them. He came home last weekend from BM's house not wearing any underwear. He picked out Hanes boxer briefs at Walmart for his underwear not instead of the character tighty whiteys. We feel kids should be wearing underwear. Once he gets into high school I guess whatever but before that we think they should be worn. AND definitely not left at BM's house.

My ds went thru a phase in which he did not wear underwear with his basketball shorts and such. He was probably 10 ish. Now at 13 he always wears underwear, changing in gym class and such took care of that issue

Did he tell you why he doesn't want to wear underwear?

My little sister went through a commando stage around 11 or so.

Maybe a sensory issue? My sd went through this and it turns out she didn't like how they felt.....she is like this with certain pants too.

Why do you care?
I don't mean that in a snotty way, but seriously. The kid wants to go commando. Why does it bother you?
Psh, I say let the kid swing free.
There are worse things than going commando...
Besides, when he starts having to change in the locker room, things'll probably change. Wink

Pick your battles. What is it hurting, really? And I agree with above posters - if he does go commando for now I'm sure once he's changing for gym class regularly he'll change his ways.

Okay - as this is pretty anonymous I can post this.

My DH does not wear underwear unless he has on a suit (or a tux).

But when a doctor gave him a med that ended up causing acute diarrhea he regretted that choice!
