For most families, walking around the house completely unclothed in front of each other would be totally unthinkable.
​But for Molly Manning and her teenage son, it is just a normal, everyday part of their household routine.
​While everyone is free to wear exactly what they want in the total privacy of their own home, Molly’s highly unconventional parenting choices have recently sparked a massive debate online.
​From Struggling Mom to a New Life
​Molly’s journey is definitely a unique one.
​Originally from Perth, Australia, the single mother found herself struggling to make ends meet and find stable employment. Desperate for financial security, she packed up and moved to Los Angeles to start a lucrative career in the adult entertainment industry.
​What started as a blind leap of faith on a digital content platform quickly turned into a massive success.
​”I probably should have done it sooner, but I was too worried about what other people thought,” she confessed. “I’ve only got one life and I’m comfortable with myself, my son’s comfortable, so I don’t care what other people think.”
​The Massive Parenting Controversy
​While her new career gave her the ultimate financial freedom, it is actually her at-home parenting style that has completely divided the internet.
​Molly openly admits that she regularly walks around her house completely naked in front of her teenage son. They will even have casual, everyday conversations while she is getting dressed or totally topless.
​For Molly, this isn’t weird at all. She believes it is simply a healthy, natural part of life.
​”I’m the kind of person who doesn’t have a problem occasionally walking around naked,” Molly explained. “Just because I’m naked doesn’t mean it’s sexual; that’s the viewers’ mentality.”

​Her Shocking Justification
​Molly strongly believes that seeing a natural, non-sexualized human body at home is actually crucial for a child’s overall development.
​In her eyes, society makes nudity far too taboo.
​”The reality of it is, if a child can’t see a naked female or male at home and that be their first point of reference for nudity, then there’s something wrong,” she stated.
​She argues that if a teenager is forced to look online to see a human body, they are going to be exposed to highly skewed, incredibly unrealistic images.
​Her bold perspective has certainly caused a massive stir across social media. While some supporters are cheering her on for breaking down body-shaming barriers, thousands of others are calling her unconventional approach completely inappropriate.
