Ok, I need help my friends...my husband wants me to sleep naked...or at the least topless. The thing is we have three young children that can at times find their way to our room at night. My oldest is actually the one who wakes me up half the time as he is an early riser and I am not. He sits around waiting until he knows it is time to rise for school and I often open my eyes to my child's sweet face about two inches from mine. We lock the door during adult activities, but need to leave it open at night for safety and doggie reasons.
I have stopped wearing ratty t-shirts to bed and other assorted ugly pjs. And apparently after reading about men's proclivity for pantied bottoms http://atianandlilliesplace.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-proclivity-for-pantied-bottom.html, I need to go through the undie drawer and get rid of some before my husband decides to go on an awful pantyhunt with a pair of scissors as his preferred weapon.
I can't sleep naked...so what are my options? I would like to make my husband happy in this but am at a loss...any thoughts?
Hmmm? I too have changed it up since ttwd. I wear t-shirts to bed...um they seem to be getting shorter and shorter, but no panties. THAT took some time to get used to. Last night it ended up being just a silk robe, short. The hands can slide in quite easily, but the coverage is there if needed.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a little 'boobie trap" ( seriously I kill me!) on the floor outside/inside your door so you know if someone is entering.
Willie, I about fell off my chair...Have you ever seen Goonies...one of my fav movies. Anyway Data goes to set booby traps and calls them booty traps...if you haven't seen it, this won't be funny:) Boobies, booties, one eyed willies...ok so it is probably only funny to me, but I can't stop laughing.
DeleteA robe might work:)
Thanks,Bea
Oh it has been a while since I've seen that movie, but I see where you are going with this. Um watch the one-eyed willie if you decide to go pantiless * wink*
DeleteOh Willie...I am so glad you "get" me:) I LOVE that movie:) But I don't think that I will ever see it without thinking of this conversation. Boobie traps....you crack me up:)
DeleteI thought of something but it depends on how large your animals area. If you would get one of those slip chain locks for your door you could open it a bit w/o it coming open all the way. That way you could just put a nightie or robe on the headboard so you could don when needed. You could hear the children but they couldn't enter until you lossened the chain.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
Unfortunately, I have a very large dog that likes to check up on the house at night:) That is a good idea though.
DeleteThanks!
How about a loose camisole that comes to your waist leaving room for his hands to roam, but still provides coverage for innocent eyes?
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea cygnet...thanks!
DeleteThat's what I do often! A tight, thin t-shirt with no bra is good too.
DeleteTough one, Bea. Since you have to allow the door to remain open, you really have to have some kind of clothing. I like Cygnet's loose camisole, and maybe you might tell your hubby how much thought you put into trying to please him on this....he might be flattered.

Thanks Lillie...I think I will tell him that I am trying for compromise:) Maybe he would want to pick something out with me.
DeleteWell, we have the same issues with the little ones. I wear a cute tank top type thing to bed. There are millions of styles....maybe that would work? I am sure your hubby will be so happy that you are doing this to please him....they kinda love stuff like that :)
ReplyDeleteI hope he does:) I get it...with kids it is just impossible sometimes to be "available":)
DeleteAlready great ideas. There are lots of really pretty short nighties which would cover a bit for little wandering eyes but it's next to nothing for your husband to get around.
ReplyDeleteSo, my inquiring mind wants to know. How did you solve this problem. I like sexy lingere as well as the next guy so baby dolls and camisole are one way. The tall mans t-shirt is also very practicle, but I would go for the tank top for the same reason I am voting for the tall man's sleeveless undershirt. The straps expose the shoulders. The feel of the sheerer cotton fabric is very sensual, especially if ribbed. The neck line scoops nicely. The shirt will be long enough for bottom coverage but can be enticingly hiked up for flirting. Most importantly for me though. The arm holes are more deeply cut to allow access through them to the breasts (YEA!, and very importantly, the shoulder straps and larger arm holes allow for very easy removal compared to all the aforementioned items. No clumsy, mood impairing pull of the neck hole over the face and head dragging the nose and ears off with it in the process. Buth then, you're all not sleeping with me so do as you wish. Yes, Lucy Lou, we DO love stuff like that.
