Peeing in front of family members
When I was young, it was quite common for me to pee in front of other family members. I also remember a lot of friends I had at school and in the neighborhood who would have similar experiences going in front of their parents, brothers/sisters, grandparents, etc. How was it like for you growing up? Were you a "private pee-er" or did you always have an audience?
