I'm recently married, no kids yet, and neither my wife nor I even own a swimsuit, so these are just my thoughts on the subject.

My wife and I have different histories with fully clothed swimming. When my wife grew up her parents took her swimming at a nearby lake and her, her brother, and her parents went swimming fully clothed. Her mom's only restriction on it was that she should take off her socks, but my wife rebelled by leaving her socks on. Other than that, they never made an issue out of it. To my wife swimming fully clothed is fun. She says only cool people go swimming in their clothes.

I had a different situation growing up. Getting my clothes wet was strictly forbidden. I was on the outside looking in when all the other kids in the neighborhood got to have a water fight or run in the sprinklers, and that's the reason why I have a wetlook fetish. My parents turned something that was just normal with everybody else into something special.

However, there's also genetics involved. My dad has a wetlook fetish, as did my wife's late brother, so it's a possibility one or more of our future children could also a wetlook fetish. I will neither encourage nor discourage that.

So, what to do about kids. My wife won't bother to get them swimsuits. She says they can just go swimming in whatever they're wearing. It's not a big deal. I would buy them swimsuits but they can wear whatever they want, swimsuit or clothes, I'm not going to care. My only rule would be that they would have to wear swimsuits at a public pool. If they're at a private pool they have to follow the owner's rules. That's all I would ask.

I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. I read a news article recently that right now 20% of Americans don't even own a swimsuit. By the time your kids are old enough to notice it's just not as going to be the federal case our generation's parents made out of it.

I've been where you're at. My wife and I had to consider this problem and decided to do what we do and say nothing to our first -- a little boy. Rather than make a fuss, we continued swimming as we do and the boy, now older, had a clear choice of coming in "as he was" or wearing a bathing suit. Pool fun was supposed to be fun, and if he had more fun, one way or the other, it was up to him . He split his choice about 50-50, and if the neighbor's kids came over, we just explained that our "fashion" was something we did and made no more fuss about it. Soon, neighbors and their kids did about the same 50-50 split.

Of course, we made sure that with company, we behaved ourselves and no one was the wiser.

Raising children in a wetlook family

Hi all,

I've been sitting, and pondering here in the hospital with the wifey who's preggo with twins - 31 1/2 weeks along (her water broke) - with lots of time to think and try to fight the boredom, and was starting to imagine how our active wetlook lives will be different with two baby boys running around. I really don't think it will be too different when they are babies, but I often wonder what might change or questions might come up from them when they're old enough to realize Mommy and Daddy are swimming in different attire than everyone else. I'm sure it will be a non-event since they'll be used to seeing it, but I still wonder. I also am afraid of the possibility that wifey will suddenly be uncomfortable being fully clothed in our pool with the kids awake and running around like she is with friends or family who is visiting :(.

In somewhat of a similar (?) situation, we have two lady friends who are "a pair" and who raised two children together and their (now teen) children seem oblivious to it but they still have not talked about it and don't think the children even know (I think that's suspect, but it's just not talked about.) Obviously, I will not and cannot hide my constant desire for partaking in wetlook, and don't think I need to (other than hiding any photos/videos I have, of course). I guess it just is going to feel a bit different/weird having new eyes regularly seeing what I've hidden for 38ish years, let alone family!

Anyone else brought up new baby or babies in a pro-wetlook home have any helpful advice or experience to share? I know i'm probably over analyzing and probably have nothing to worry about (except for my wife suddenly feeling like she has to "be good" in front of the kids!)

TIA
