Summary

This behavior is not normal beyond infancy. Privacy respect is crucial for a child’s psychological development and social adaptation. Establish clear boundaries to ensure healthy family dynamics.

Recommendation

It is essential to maintain privacy boundaries between mothers and sons beyond early toddler years. I strongly recommend avoiding undressing in front of sons past early childhood to protect their emotional comfort and boundary awareness.
