My husband (M41) told me (F30) he is not comfortable with our 5 year old daughter being naked in the house. I disagree. What is the "polite" way to handle this?

My husband and I bought a house with a big backyard and a swimming pool. My daughter has been spending a lot of time in her bathing suit lately since we have been in the pool almost every day. <br><br>She obviously needs to shower after swimming and we have been letting her walk from the bathroom to her room with just a towel on. <br><br>My husband and I have been working from home the last two weeks and sometimes her towel falls off and she is walking around the house/room naked. He told me yesterday he did not want her doing that and asked me to tell her to keep the towel on. <br><br>I told him it is 100 degrees outside and she doesn't need to be any more clothed in the house than a towel. He doesn't want her "running around" the house naked, but she isn't like that. She isnt running anywhere. <br><br>I know as a woman and a mother, it is my opinion that should matter but I am not sure how to communicate that to him in a non-confrontational way.<br><br>We have been having a lot of step 1, step 2, step 3 arguments lately (he thinks I should be able to tell her to keep the towel on, I think she is 5 and won't listen) so I don't want to start an argument over something I don't even think is an issue. But he seems to think it is so I want to talk about it with him.<br><br>How should I approach this?
