AIBU?

To think mums shouldn't do drop at nursery in their pyjamas?

I know they may have been up all night with a newborn, depressed, etc etc.

But really, I do wonder when I see a flashy subaru 4x4, child immaculately dressed and the mother has an expensive coat on, over pj's. How long does it take to put a pair of jeans on ffs?

I shit you not, I once saw one of the offenders in pj's and heels.

Or is this some high fashion thing I just don't get?

oh I love that. No really I do. Good on them for not being arsed and for having the time not to have to get dressed. Wish I could!

Are you sure they are not just those baggy jersey slouchy trousers?

They should do what I do, and sleep in their clothes and nobody would know. - I don't mean jeans, I mean causual yoga stuff.

Ooook???

Maybe she was ill?
Just managed to get her child dressed, and about to go back home and collapse to bed?

What does it matter what car she drives?

Do you think a mum on the breadline is a better candidate for the "PJ-look"?

Now I'd love to be that mum, but, as Dd1 started nursery this week, I found myself getting up mega early, selecting an outfit, doing my hair and putting on make-up. WTF?
I'm sure this will pass!

Oh there was a thread on this recently, prompted by something in Ireland I think, where headteachers were begging parents not to do the school run in pjs.

I think it's horrible actually - slovenly and lazy and generally disgusting. Not to mention dirty. Perhaps I am too uptight?

I have seen this increasingly , there was a thread on it here a while back and it made me notice mums with immaculate hair names, the rest and then PJs.

so what if they are in a polka dot bikini or pjs, why does it matter to you what they wear anyway?

It was all the rage here, NOT ME, to wear PJs and have a full face of make up, shoes etc. People in Belfast did it so others copied. Why I have no idea.

Quattrocento - you need to chill out! "dirty" LOL

I suspect if it's women in very expensive car wtih immaculate hair then they are making a statement that they don't have to go out to work and are back off to bed for a wee nap before luncheon with the girls. Lucky swines

Doris it will pass believe me!

I find it odd that someone would be arsed to do hair and make up but not actually get dressed.

Trying to make a statement perhaps.

I just wonder why, it takes less than a minute to put on a pair of trousers. Or why not take the pj bottoms off and wear the heels and lovely coat with nothing underneath?

Do any MNers actually do the school run in their PJs? Can;t imagine it myself (particuarly can't see me heading any past the front door without me bra on)

I hear it is a fashion thing - apparantly these women always drive 4x4s and wear designer coats over the pjs. And have somehow had time to do their hair and makeup

But it is dirty isn't it? I mean they are going out without having a shower - unwashed by definition.

Why does it bother you so much its not like they are making you wear your Pj's to drop your child off.

My friend used to go to Mcdonalds in her nightie and dressing gown at the weekends she didnt care

Hmmm - I don't see the problem with it tbh. I never get dressed up in the morning at all. At dd2's school you do get these perfectly groomed mums in boden wrap dresses at 8.30am. Usually I am very careful with my appearance but not at that time when I am trying to remember two sets of paraphernalia for two children, and more often than not always forgetting something! But if I was going to a school play or something I would make an effort.

"But it is dirty isn't it?" they probably have shower then put PJs back on!
