Hilary Swank: I let boyfriend's son see me nude

I found this story on MSNBC News.
Hilary Swank, 35-year-old, isn't know for showing her stuff on the big screen. However, she does claim to be naked in front of her boyfriend's 6-year-old son, Sam, and this may affect her bid for her third "Oscar: a new biopic about legendary aviatrix Amelia Earhart." Swank told TODAY's Meredith Vieira that she believes, "being open about this choice in her personal life may open lines of communication in families." Another thing Swank said was, "I think it's great that people can talk about things that bring up debate. I think every family is different, and you have to know what's right for you and your family." This debate came up when Swank had an interview with Joanna Coles who asked what she wears to sleep. Hilary answered, "I don't sleep in anything." Hilary is currently involved with John Campisi, her agent. Campisi's son Sam typically only sees Hilary nude when he comes into the bedroom in the morning. "He doesn't look twice, he doesn't think about it yet," Swank says to Marie Claire. Her reasoning for sleeping naked is, as she says, "I just toss and turn too much when I sleep, and if I'm in clothes, I get all twisted up."

My first reaction to this this story was how wrong this is. As I read this story my thoughts and opinions did not change.

I realize this is not her biological son, but as the girlfriend of someone with a child, she should have the decency to keep her clothes on in front of this boy. I think once a child is old enough to say, "hey mommy/daddy, what's that," it's time to not be naked in front of him/her. My daughter was only 2-2 1/2 years old before I stopped changing and showering in front of her. My daughter showered with me until she was that age, and I started getting uncomfortable, feeling like I was doing something wrong. This was before she started pointing things out and asking questions. I know in the article it said that Sam, the boy, only sees her naked when he goes into her bedroom in the morning, but if she knows he will come into her bedroom, then she need to set rules with him not to come into the room until he knocks, or start locking the door. It's a respect thing. And as for this child's father, he should be embarrassed to have this out in the news, that his girlfriend is being naked in front of his child. If he is not embarrassed then he is not a very good father. I would have to bet that Sam's mother now knows about this, and I know if I were her, I would be furious. Parents are supposed to protect their children, and prevent them from seeing things on the television they shouldn't be watching, and talking to them about sex, drugs, and right and wrong. I believe as a parent, John Campisi, is not doing his job. When Sam is old enough to have sex explained to him, is John going to sit him down, strip down the girlfriend, and explain every detail of a womans body to him? There are things that parents should and shouldn't do, and I am so against something like this.

I hope that other parents out there think twice about how they are influencing their children, and if they are still showering and/or changing in front of their children, they should think twice. Kids are so influenced by the things around them, and parents need to set a good example.
