Posh sleeps in the nude
Filed under: Life & Style, Celeb Parents, That's Entertainment
I gave up a lot of thing after having children: sleeping in, weekends with nothing to do but grown up "activities" followed by more sleeping in, going to non-animated movies, swearing out loud, being able to use the bathroom alone and sleeping in the nude.
But Victoria Beckham hasn't let her three boys interfere with her choice of sleeping attire. In an interview in this month's Elle magazine, Posh Spice shared, "You don't sleep with David Beckham. I'm going to be naked if I'm getting in bed with him every night!"
Apparently Posh's kids don't wet the bed, have nightmares, or get lonely and silently stand close to her as she sleeps until the beams from their little eyes pierce her subconscious and jolt her awake where the sight of a dark, motionless figure next to the bed will make her scream bloody hell and leap into the air.
(Not that any of those things has ever happened around here.........)

the goddess anna said...I'll be the first to admit that my kids do all of those things and my husband and I both sleep nude. If it's cold, or if I'm going to be out of bed for a while, I put on a robe (hubby puts on pants).
Sleeping in the nude is not a big deal.

Amanda said...well...good for you both... I'm sure the hell not sleeping nude any where near my husband unless I just don't want to sleep! If you sleep nude around him, you're just asking for trouble :D
(lmao)
besides, my babies think that nipples are just fun to push or pull, mommy or daddy both make a funny yelping noise when you tweak them :D

Jill said...My kids just think there's a progression from sleeping in a sleeper and diaper to sleeping in pj's to sleeping nude. I guess they'll be nude sleepers someday too since they see me and their dad every morning.
When I get up at night (and I have to pee every night these days) I toss on my robe. My flannel sheets stay warm for me when I get back, and my husband's warm body is right there for me if I'm cold. I hate the way pj's twist around at night and I could never go back to wearing them.

Tamyu said...I don`t sleep in the nude - I end up freezing if I do! But I don`t see what is wrong with this. She is their mother. So what if they happen to see her without pajamas?
Why does everyone have to be so uptight? It isn`t as if she`s admitting to having sex in front of them.

Gia said...my kids do all those things, but there is a time or two that i just didnt care and hoped that, that particullar night will be a good night where everyone stays in there beds. And i just make sure that i dont expose myself if they do come into my room. it works only cause im a stomach sleeper, i suppose.
my husband doesnt. then again we dont sleep at the same time he is on graveyard shift and i work days he comes home when i wake up and on his days off i go to bed and he stays up on the computer. Then again for the first year we were together my husband alsways slept fully clothed. In Jeans! i took me forever to convince him that pajama pants were more comfortable not just for him but mee too. jeans can hurt on bare freshly shaved legs.

Gia said...also, i dont think its that bad. i mean my kids apparently feel free to barge in to the bathroom and even pull back the shower curtain just to talk to me for a second or even play in the shower water. There going to see you sometime or another.
i think that it may actuall help the children. i mean if you teach them that there is nothing to be ashamed of then maybe they will grow up with a better body image, and be comfortable with themselves.
i think that is all i have to say

aprilw said...What? I saw a documentary a couple years back of them when they were living in Spain and they said the kids sleep in their bed with them all the time. Even mentioned the "family bed" and said they didn't get much time to themselves.
Strikes me that she tries even harder now in the press to show how happy they are as a couple (there are sometimes rumours around about him cheating on her).

Nicola said...We sleep in the nude here too. Our guy comes in with us in the morning. He doesn't see anything strange about it. In his mind, kids wear pajamas, mommies and daddies don't. Every single one of us has a body, either male or female. Covering it up is a social issue.

Saboin said...We sleep in the nude at our house too...our 5 year old son even took the habit up himself as he says he gets hot at night and his father and I see no problem with it or with our same choice - it's not like our kids oggle us like porn addicts - it's natural and all they've known and it's good that they will grow to be comfortable in their skin.

JustSue said...I would have to agree with the comment that covering up is a social issue. We've always slept in the nude; turns out our daughter (now 22) doesn't favor it, but our son (age 20) does. I think treating (at-home) nudity casually is healthy for our kids and their self-images.
