AIBU?

To enjoy spending the day in PJs

and to let my DCs stay in PJs on Sundays if we are not going out?

Following on from a thread in parenting where people are disgraced that a Dad doesn't get the children dressed into "day" clothes at the weekend even if staying at home.

Well...I don't like being in the same clothes I slept in. It feels gross to me so after a bit of a laze around on weekends, I make the kids get changed when I do.

But YANBU if you don't mind sweaty pits.

yanbu. If they are cosy and not going anywhere then what's the problem.

We have pyjama days if we are staying in (when its poring outside, someone is ill).

DC and i do have showers/baths and put on clean pyjamas for the next night though!

So no YANBU.

YANBU! Also love pyjama days here, but as idobelieveinfairies says, bath and clean ones before bed - to do otherwise is minging!

I don't actually wear PJs in bed, I put them on when I get up until I am awake enough to get dressed properly, so they are effectively "clean clothes"

That's what I would do too frenchfancy. PJ days are fab. Rare occassional treats to be made the most of.

I always think peoples basic arithmetic leaves something to be desired on threads like these.

If I go to work then I'm in my work clothes from 7am til possibly 11pm - so that's 16 hours in the same clothes.

So on a weekend the numbers are surely the same- pjs on at 11pm - think about getting dressed 2pm the next day. Sounds like a nice lazy Sunday to me.

It's the SAME providing your wearing clean pjs or clothes every day.

Yup. Every Saturday we have a pajama day. I work Saturday nights so that's our day for snuggling up on the sofas and watching films.

I can't believe you would have a day where you don't even leave the house! I am shocked.

YANBU! Love PJ days. Got very used to them when I was heavily pregnant this time around because they were so comfy and easy to waddle round after my toddler in.

Don't see the point of dirtying outdoor clothes if I'm not going out. And I also have days where I don't leave the house...

I don't understand people who have to go out of their house every day?!

There's nothing wrong with a PJ Day once in a while.

Well, there's nothing wrong with them every weekend if you want them - but it's just not something I'd want that often.
