Is it really too much?

Is it really too much to ask my children to put on clothes while they run around the house? I mean, there's snow all over the ground, there was freezing rain this morning and it's currently 34 degrees outside. I shiver just thinking about it.

I never thought we would have to have the rule, "you must wear pants at the dinner table" in my home. Boys. They have changed my life. And, try to explain to your daughters why they shouldn't run around topless while their brothers only have on underwear. I mean, we are trying to teach some sense of modesty in these early years. It's only going to get worse. I guess in this world of eating disorders and obsessive images in the media, I should be thankful that they are all comfortable in their own skin. No body image issues around here...yet. It's all about perspective, right?

(I will spare you the imagery!)
