So The Goldbergs reruns come on at 6:00 or so and I usually have it on while I'm cooking dinner. I've often wondered about the very strange habit of the dad that strips out of his pants as soon as he walks in the front door from work. He sits around and walks around in his tighty whiteys. I don't get it. He doesn't care that his teenage kids are around or anyone else for that matter. I get changing into something more comfortable after work- I'm sure we all do- but just to sit around in your undies I don't get.
Have you known anyone to do this??

My dad did this when I was growing up. I was born in 1971. And as a matter of fact he still does this.
I walk around while I'm getting ready for work sometimes in just my shirt and underwear and it has never phased me or my children (now 19 & 23). My son is in his boxers every morning when he gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom and kitchen like that.

Yeah, I have never seen anyone like that. No one in my home walks around in their undies ( family of 4 - 3 guys, 1 girl).

No, I've never seen anyone do that in real life.

My MIL walks around in her bra. If you show up unexpectedly, she will answer the door while halfway pulling on her blouse. A lot.

Hmm....no. But we aren't dressed much better here. I come home and immediately change into yoga/lounge pajama pants and a tank-top or t-shirt. In the winter I wear a soft sweatshirt over it.
Dh wears some athletic pants/shorts and a ratty t-shirt.

Growing up, my dad stayed dressed until bed time, but he would walk around in his boxers and a white t-shirt after bed time.
I change into comfy pants/t-shirt or PJs the second I get into the house.

I will come downstairs in my bra and panties to head down to the basement to get clean clothes in the morning. My adult son lives with us, but I’ve done this his whole life. I’m more covered than most bikinis. I only do this around DH and DS. Everyone else I wear at least a robe.

We don't do that here, but we believe in being comfortable. I will change into pj's as soon as possible when I get home from work. I've even been known to just put on pj bottoms with whatever shirt/sweater I already have on, especially if I have to go out again in awhile. That way I can just put my pants back on and go!
Now, do I walk to the bathroom in undies, or even into another room occasionally? Sure, it's happened. But it's not a regular thing. Apparently I'm the exhibitionist in my family, because my dh or girls would never do that.

We have all certainly walked around in our undies from time to time. Human bodies are not things that need covering at all costs imo although being appropriate goes without saying. If undies are comfortable and you're in your own home, why not?

I know of one man, unrelated to me, that does do this. His home, his rules. Do I find it odd? Yes, but again, not my home. I have one son who lives with me who has no problem walking around in his boxers but not when anyone else is home. Mostly he wears shorts or lounge pants around us but occasionally boxers rule. We all have different things we are comfortable with. I for one am not one to undress publicly in a locker room. I always go into a stall. High School gym was awful for me.

It is just the two of us, no kids, I’ll walk around in underwear before and after work until it is time to cook dinner. When it cools down I’m more likely to wear my robe or some leggings. I only stay dressed if I have plans after work.
When I was a kid my mom and I used to race each other to see who could get into their pajama pants faster after she picked me up from school.

Uh no.
We both are fully dressed until bed time. In fact, my DH has his casual work clothes and shoes on until he goes to bed. It’s the way he was raised. I, however, never wear shoes in the house. Once again, it’s the way I was raised. Remove shoes when entering the house, but stay dressed until time for bed.
I think running around in your underwear is odd. Never going to happen in my house. Nope.

My younger daughter would take off her pants as soon as she got home from high school. Her motto is no pants, no problem!

not briefs at our house, but sometimes boxers.
ETA: and we both change our clothes as soon as we get home from work- even though my workplace is pretty casual and I'm wearing jeans to work most days, when I get home I change into ratty shorts and a t-shirt (no bra), or into lounge pants / PJs (depending on what time it is).

DH frequently drops his pants soon as he gets home (he wears boxers), and younger DD has picked up this habit as well. They don’t do it if we have guests, though.

I guess I find it odd because of my limited experience living with first my dad and then/now my DH. My dad was a 'proper southern gentleman' and would have never dropped his pants anywhere in front of anyone and it's not a thing that DH would do either. To each their own! I don't have a problem with it, just was wondering about others experiences.

Changing into comfortable clothes when getting home is the norm here. DH & DS switch from jeans to gym shorts, DD only changes if she isn't already in leggings/yoga pants and I only change if I'm wearing something nicer.
Growing up we always wore robes over pjs if outside your bedroom, so nobody hung out in underwear.

Both dh & I always wear at least a tshirt & pj pants. I might skip the bra underneath, but only if we're not expecting company.
DD always wears shorts or pants of some sort, but if she gets hot, she thinks nothing of taking off her shirt. Even when her friends are over (male included). Still wears a bra but really it shows no more than if she were wearing a bikini.

My husband will walk or sit around with his underwear on (no pants) quite often. I think it is odd and annoying. He also walks naked from downstairs to upstairs (taking his sweet time) which I also think is odd. Once in awhile my kids (all boys) will see me in bra and underwear when I’m getting dressed/undressed but not often. Now that they are getting older I am a little more aware of when I’m not wearing a bra. I’ve always wondered if others care about whether or not they are wearing a bra around their sons as well. Or if it isn’t something to be concerned about. I do change into comfy clothes as soon as I walk in the door unless I have to go somewhere later.

My DH is nun-like in his attire, literally the only time he walks around in his underwear is in the middle of the night if he has to pee. I on the other hand will sometimes run around pants-less (usually after yelling "pants-off dance-off" and giving him a little hip shake - but I digress). It's certainly not a regular thing at our house, and it's just the two of us.
My grandmother on the other hand regularly walks around in a shirt, panties, and nylons - my husband was horrified when we stayed with her for a couple weeks several years ago. She's German and most of my family over there is very "whatever, it's a human body, no big deal" about nudity/partial nudity.
We also have had a couple of DHs friends (2 different guys on two separate occasions) stay over after a few drinks and both of them were hanging out in their tighty-whiteys when I got up the next morning. I thought that was totally weird...

Growing up we always wore robes over pjs if outside your bedroom, so nobody hung out in underwear. we never had bathrobes when I was growing up, that I can recall- I remember just wearing my pajamas early in the morning until getting ready and dressed for the day. When I first met my DH, his mom had given him this REALLY cushy bathrobe with a hood, and his mom / stepdad hung out in the evening in their bathrobes, watching TV, whatever. I thought that was kind of weird, to be honest. (that bathrobe with a hood reminds me of the Emperor from Star Wars, lol.)

No one in our house (me, DH, young adult DD and DS) is out of their bedroom/bathroom without pants on.
Typically my son and husband stay dressed until bedtime but my daughter and I can't get into our comfortable bras, pajama pants and t-shirts fast enough when we arrive home. Nobody wears shoes in my house.
My DD got married last weekend and before the day arrived she asked me if we could skip the "naked getting into the dress moment" with the bridesmaids and others. She explained how the last two weddings she was in, the brides were standing around completely nude except thong panties while everyone helped them into their dresses. One bride even did this with her father in the room. So, it was just me (promising to keep my eyes closed) that helped her in her gown. hehehe

Both my children frequently strip to just underwear when they get home. I have no problem with it but ask that they don’t leave the house without being properly dressed. My husband has reminded me that we have big windows that face the street so I need to be more careful walking around the house before and after getting out of the shower!

My did this when I was growing up. Walking around in his tighty whiteys. I probably have picture of him lounging in his chair too. Actually Murray from the Goldberg's reminds me a bit of my dad in some ways. Now DH doesn't do that. He stays dressed until bed time. I will not leave my bedroom unless I am properly dressed. Even when my kids were little I never let them crawl around in their diapers, they always had at least a onsie on. And once they were potty trained there was no running around in just underwear either.

I say to each their own! Do what makes you happiest and most comfortable in your home.
In *my* home there is no hanging out/running around in under garments. After work you take a shower and change into whatever clothing: some times pjs as we're in for the night and not expecting company, other nights it's an old sweater and jeans,sweats, some nights we get dressed up as we're going out etc etc.
Neither my husband nor I were raised that it's appropriate to be in under clothes around others. We will run in and out of the bathroom,closets etc when getting ready (it's only the 2 of us). But there's no hanging out in underpants like on the Goldbergs. The first time I saw that I thought it was very weird, but now? Meh? Do what you like in your own home.
