I think Mom has a valid fear, that a cold self-important and possibly corrupt institution prone to random, fervent, and draconian enforcement of minutia might put a serious hurting on her family's life. In Mom's context, parental nudity is simply a byproduct of actually spending a great deal of time in proximity with her children. The nudity itself, occasional exposure as the result of daily life is probably healthier than an obsessive or cultish, prudish modesty. Brittany is dealing with the same legal system that us ordinary people do. A frighteningly powerful institution that is required to justify it's own existence and maximize enforcement equally against the heinous atrocities of negligent parents and against good healthy supportive families circumstanced with an efficiency apartment, 1 small bathroom, and a natural human body.
