Was I being inappropriate?

I don’t see the problem with being seen as nature intended. I’ve always slept in the buff and often wander around the house in my nothings until I get dressed (not when we have visitors as I don’t want to put them off their breakfast lol). I actually think it’s prudish to cover up but I bet lots of GNetters will be horrified.

I usually sleep naked but when our grandchildren stay over I wear a nightie in case they come into our bedroom in the morning - they are much less likely to come into our bed now they're older - 7 and nearly 9.

That's just my personal feelings though - I come from a rather inhibited family. I'm not sure it's such a dreadful thing for your grandchildren to see you naked but if your daughter thinks it's inappropriate then it's probably best to heed her instructions.

I would not have expected a 6 year old to share a bed with me in the first place and would not have slept au naturel either. blush
Just plain embarrassing for the little girl.

I don't recognise the name ...have you posted before or are you just being inappropriate Gizmo?
It's not for me to judge your habits, but I certainly wouldn't let my grandchildren see me without my clothes.

Dear Gransnetters,
I have been sleeping au natural for many years. I’ve tried wearing nighties and pyjamas but I find them very uncomfortable so I just don’t bother with them anymore. However, if I go away I always take a nightie with me but once in bed, it has to come off otherwise I cannot sleep.
My 6 year old granddaughter came to stay with me for a week and as she’s not used to being away from home I slept in the same bed as her. DGD slept under the duvet, I slept on top of the duvet, making sure I was covered with a sheet and blanket. I made sure that I was up before she awoke and always wore a gown before I got dressed.
My DGD has seen me naked - couldn’t be helped as we shared a cubicle to get changed when I took her swimming.
I’ve just received a very curt message from my DD. DGD has told mummy that granny snores and sleeps naked. DD went on to say that it’s inappropriate and in future I must wear a nightie.
What do other GNs think? Was I being inappropriate?
