To think staying in your pyjamas on stay at home days is minging?

Um .. yes @chocolatemademefat thats not true for all. If you’ve showered the night before and haven’t had sex there shouldn’t be too much “sorting out” required next morning.

I know when I need sorting out: it’s not hard to miss 😥

I think you’re doing that very mumsnet thing of assuming everyone’s exactly the same as you. Many women don’t need to wash every morning. I’ve cared for lots of them, and they don’t smell.
Just because you do doesn’t make it the norm for everyone!

Think of the washing you save doing if you stayed in your jarmies for 3 days.

Personally I can't stay in my PJs all day. I do however change into a lounge suit, very similar to PJs just thicker, when I have no plans to go out.

I agree with OP, the thought of sitting in my clothes and underwear i’ve slept in all night all day makes me feel gross - if i’m in the house i’ll just throw on leggings and a top or loungewear

I took have one of those strong willed small children. We've ended up with a number of different coats to "trick" her into choosing to wear something rather than fighting. I'd rather she had a hoody on and thinks she's "won" than fight with her to put a proper coat on.

Some people don't understand that small people have minds of their own.

I like to wear clothes to suit the job, and cleaning the floors in pjs, or pruning shrubs in them would never work.

🤣

My child is very strong willed, and I have found giving her what she perceives as a choice (would you like to wear your rain jacket or a hoodie?) is more effective than just putting something onto her to have her refuse anything and have a big tantrum. They don’t go out when I feel it’s too cool for me to not wear a coat, because more often than not, my youngest will take off whatever outerwear she’s agreed on and will be using it as part of whatever muddy game she’s playing. I know my children.
PJs are no different than any other leggings and T-shirt set. My oldest has underwear on, youngest is still in nappies (why would anyone assume that PJs automatically equal no underwear?) , both wearing shoes and socks, with a jacket or hoodie over the top unless it’s one of the 10 days a year we get that are actually warm. If it’s sunny they have on sun cream and a hat. They’re at home, fully clothed, allowed to get as messy as they want, and I clean and change them as soon as they come back inside. I think that’s alright for a Sunday morning.
I don’t think OFSTED has much to do with childcare in private homes and families.

Fair enough about the motivation part. But what do you mean by minging?

Surely the clothes you wear in bed would be the cleanest of all. After all, where you sleep and he clothes you sleep in should be the most hygienic.

My pj bottoms are my indoor clothes, I couldn't be in the house wearing jeans ect I wouldn't feel relaxed. I do change them a lot due to cleaning but when I'm at home pjs it is, change to go out, back in them when I get in.
I'm pretty much out everyday as I have kids and a dog but if I wasn't going anywhere I'd probably just keep them on all day.

I agree. It heightens my suspicion that some posters have to get dressed as they don’t have anything more meaningful to do.

What drivel.

What a strange take. This isn’t a childcare setting. This is a child in their own home. 😳

I don’t see the point in putting my outdoor clothes on if I’m just going to be doing housework all day.

Or your outfit from the night before!

I have always let my daughter decide if she needs a coat and within reason what she wants to wear to play. If she chooses not to wear a coat outdoors, the consequence is that she will be cold and I will have a coat with me for if she later realises she needs a coat.

I'm also fine with her playing in the garden in pyjamas, I don't know why you would assume they are any less suitable for playing in a mud kitchen than "real clothes." What's the difference between leggings and a long sleeved top and pyjamas? Does a night-time themed pattern make them less practical?

So do you get changed for every job? Garden clothes, cleaning clothes, cooking clothes? No wonder you have no time to be leisurely.

I still think you have a problem if you're filthy within half an hour TBH. Most people wear the same clothes all day and still manage to cook, clean etc.

PJs that you sleep in can be washed. And if you wash them, they're then clean again to wear to bed.

How is that worse than "day time" clothes being filthy within half an hour?

Because pjs are pjs - they're either things you sleep in and will get into bed in, or they're luxurious silk things which might need dry-cleaning or at least hand-washing and careful pressing.

I like to wear clothes to suit the job, and cleaning the floors in pjs, or pruning shrubs in them would never work.

I know, make it make sense!

How is that worse than "day time" clothes being filthy within half an hour?

It's minging! You're right. Unless the pjs are very glamorous indeed (so not really pjs then).

I would never wear them at home for the simple reason that I'm busy doing all kinds of stuff: cooking, cleaning, gardening, odd jobs. The ruddy things would be filthy within half-an-hour. Pjs are only for people of leisure sitting on the sofa watching Neflix, and I don't fall into that category.

That’s what I thought.
Id never let my children play outside getting dirty then put them back in those clothes. Give me a freshly laundered pair of pjs over reused outdoor clothes any day. How DISGUSTING neuro!

Most pyjamas have long sleeves, and she has said she wouldn’t send them out if cold or rainy. As for no pants on, I’m really not sure what is so fearful about that. Or has something climbed up your bottom - which might explain why you are being so aggressively judgmental of this poster?

More allowing 18m old to decide whether to wear a coat. Also no underwear with pjs, not sure sitting on the ground with no pants on is a great plan regardless of age. I would suggest that leggings and t- shirt are suitable outdoor clothes for 3 months of the year maximum in the UK. If spending time outside between October and June I would expect any carer to ensure children had long sleeves, shoes and socks and warm tops on as an absolute minimum.

Doing what exactly? Letting them wear pj kind of clothes?

To be honest I find these threads pretty stupid because as far as I’m concerned most children these days gad about in what look to me for all the world like pjs anyway: leggings , baggy t shirt. There are even those “ suits” now people are wearing in summer that have matching shirts and short sleeved top and how they differ from pyjamas beats me. Ditto mums on thd school run in their gym kit. How is that far different from stretchy soft pjs? Different in the days when people dressed in tucked in ironed cotton blouses and belts and even wore a hat etc. How does putting a child in stretchy leggings or jersey pull on shorts change anything Ofsted would give a toss about vis a vis stretchy jersey pjs?

You let your 18 month old decide if they need a coat ? How does dressing children appropriately for the activity eg: not pyjamas for a mud kitchen equate to not allowing them to be children ? If a childcare setting was doing that for this age group Ofsted would have a few questions.
