Want me to edit my sig so you get proper credit? 
Something like "munchies_matt in a previous life as fat_boy" so both old timers and the current crop can identify 
Cheers,

I don't think there is an age as the problem sorts itself out as kids get older. There comes a point where they don't want to see you naked or visa versa.
Also the circumstance in which this happens also decreases as they get older. Young kids will barge in anywhere, anytime of the day or night and you've got to care for them etc. When they get a bit older they can look after themselves.
When I'm naked first thing in the norning now, I'd be shocked to see any of my kids awake and out of bed.
However, as a general rule. My house, my rules and I'll do as I please. If they don't like it, don't look or move out

This tends to be a generational thing. My parent's generation were quite conservative about this (although my father was an exception). I was a teenager in the sixties when things became far more liberal. Walking around the house naked and taking a bath with the kids was seen as very normal to many of my generation. In fact prior to concerns about UV radiation nude bathing became very popular for whole families. I always felt that one need not be prudish and nudity is pretty normal. Since then there have been a couple more generations and I think a certain conservatism has grown. This is in part due to the horrific revelations of inappropriate behavior with children which have occurred in recent years. As a result a lot of negative innuendo is directed toward people who may be seen to be a bit unconventional in this area.

Fortunately in continental europe we havent been dirtied with that fear. The UK has though. Sad. I used to work with a guy who saw some of his sons friends walking to school, he stopped and offered them a lift. A day later the police came knocking...
This is a very sick society that sees every interaction between youngster and adult in such a perverted way.
In France you can talk to kids on the beach, look at what they have got in their buckets from the rock pool, etc If you are in a park and one falls off a climbing frame you can go and comfort it. (of course I am in these situations with my then young daughter)
In the UK thought I am very cautions though. It is sad.

As an old fart I attempt not to inflict horrible images on my grand kids. I did catch my son looking at me warily when I was playing with my 9yo granddaughter in the pool recently. I don't blame him, with so many stories about inappropriate behavior towards children I'm glad he is wary.
You will find that your children will probably make that decision for you, mine went through a prudish period in their teenage years.

Yes, my daughter has become body conscious as she has gone through puberty, I guess its to be expected.

I'm not a parent, but you will agree that I still am a large child, yes?
A naked body has never been censored as far as I know; no need to close your eyes during breast-feeding, and no need to look away when seeing a cow being milked.

I'm not a nudist, but I'm not prudish either.
I don't cover up in front of my kids if I need to change clothes or when I get out of bed. I don't want my kids to become prudish puritans that think of our bodies as something to be ashamed of.
I suspect the age will be chosen by my kids. Whenever they tell me "eww, cover up will ya" I suspect I will have to think about it.

I asked my daughter about this in fact and she would rather I cover up. I guess its that age when they become body conscious.

Of course he is, and he's OK! He's also a tad bewildered by the English language, a language where he can bark at bark.

If you want him to go faster, tell him "Hustle Jack Russel!" as you lumber around the room.

Related quiz for the less proficient in English.
Q. How far can a dog run into a forest?
A. Only as far as the first tree.
Why?
Sin tack
the any key okay
|
|
|
|
|
Duh! 'cos! 
Actual answer: because once the dog reaches the first tree it is in the forest and therefore no longer running into it.
...although it could be running further into it.
...and it would therefore also be running in the forest.
...and, eventually, out of the forest.

nope. A clue to help.
Q. How far can a person run into a forest. (into, not to)
A. Half way, after that the person is running out of the forest.
Same is also true for horse, cat, rabbit...
But not the dog. Why?
Sin tack
the any key okay
|
|

Because it will stop to sniff and mark the first tree in the traditional manner?

Yep.
A test question from earlier times when immigrants had to prove English language ability (nowadays not performed): [Q] how far can a dog run into a forest ...," [A supposed yo be] "half way."
Those that stated 'the first tree' with or without the sniff/mark logic were always pinged wrong.
So whose "English" really was better: the professor setting the language test of math logic, or the immigrant who understood what the word 'dog' means?
(Luckily my dad was not kicked out.)

He must be barking!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
