Many of us behave differently when we're in the comfort of our own homes. For example, you probably won't be wearing what you would wear to go to work while you're just lying on the sofa, as you just want to feel comfortable.
This might change if you have visitors, but if it's family or close friends, you might feel so comfortable you don't need to change.
One woman has ended up in a massive argument with her family because she didn't put a bra on when her dad and brother came to visit. They, and her mum, think it's inappropriate.
The 23-year-old, on the other hand, thinks if she's required to use a bra in front of her dad, 57, and brother, 26 – they should do the same.
Taking to Reddit, the anonymous woman explained: "Last week my parents and brother came over for a surprise visit and I happened to forgo wearing a bra since it was just me at home loafing in my room and reading stuff. They wanted to stay a while and chat/ have tea in the apartment so I didn't really see a reason to put on a bra still.
"Fast forward a while and I notice my mum is giving me a look. I wasn't wearing anything particularly see through or thin, it was just a regular graphic-tee of my favourite hot sauce and some shorts.
"My mum told me to go change since it was inappropriate for me to be wearing 'so little' with men in the house. I told her politely at first that I didn't think it was anything weird and I used to wear these exact clothes at our house all the time not that long ago and she never said anything.
"But then she started going off on a tangent about how I wasn't little anymore and I couldn't get away with having them just 'swinging around'."
This caused a huge argument, with the mum insisting that she was "exposing herself". The daughter added: "My dad and brother were also on her side (brother more reluctantly) and just told me to do what she wants and it wasn't a big deal."
At this point the woman snapped, and told her family: "If I have to wear a bra in my own house because of my chest then so do dad and bro."
The woman, who candidly said she has the "smallest chest in the family," instantly felt "immensely guilty" because she could tell her dad "felt hurt".
However, she added: "I still don't think I should have had to put on a bra for a surprise visit when they were going to leave soon anyways."
"My brother tells me that I took it too far and I should've just either ignored her or changed for that little while they were visiting. My mum also still refuses to talk to me until I apologise for my inappropriate comment."
The woman received a lot of support in the comment section, with many agreeing that she should be able to wear what she wants in her own home.
One person said: "Sounds like everyone tiptoes around mum and gives her what she wants. Good for you for sticking up for yourself and setting the boundary that it's your home and you'll do what you want in your own home."
Another commented: "First, your house, your rules. Second, your body, your choice. I think what you said was perfect, and you shouldn't feel guilty at all."
