parental nudity -- what age to stop

i have 2 kids ages 3[girl] and 5 [boy]. my husband has alway enjoyed sleeping in the buff, and i am growing increasingly uncomfortable with it, as our kids always join us in our bed each morning. i have tried buying him comfortable loungewear to wear around the house, but that doesn't address the in the bed issue. he does not like to wear pajamas or anything else for that matter [in bed]. i can't relate because i have always worn pj's to bed. i am particularly uncomfortable with my daughter being around him at these times. he doesn't share the same sense of concern. for him, it's not a big deal, though he does agree that when they're older that it will matter. [by the way he does not have sisters.] WHAT IS OLDER -- AT WHAT AGE OR STAGE OF THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT IS THIS INAPPROPRIATE????? any input/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. how do i put my foot down on this issue and get him to see my pov, and change his habit?
