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

All I know is this..

My kid is 11 now. Ask her about her childhood, her memories, her fondest ones.

She won't tell you of beach days or holidays, or days exploring the woods.
She won't tell you of days with her friends or walking the dog, even though she could.

She'll tell you of days where she lay around, in her PJs and her socks.
No stresses or worries, no lessons or watching the clocks.

Relaxing with films, duvets and too many crisps, biscuits and sweets.
There's millions of kids in this world that will never know days of such treats.

So take the stick from out your anus and ease up on the gas.
You might be dead next Tuesday so relax a bit and enjoy life as it lasts.

That was a poem by me, written by me in 2 minutes... And it's shit.. but I'm chilling in yesterdays knickers so I don't care..

I wouldn't tend to sit around in pyjamas I'd worn to bed unless I was ill or sometimes I'm having a shower a bit later so wouldn't bother putting clean clothes on beforehand.

I do wear lounge wear/pj's at home. If I'm working I'll wear a nicer top and comfy bottoms but they're always clean and fresh. I need the distinction and feel better for getting ready.

I will always wash/shower and put make-up on.

I have a few friends who will literally put on their laptop in bed and I can't do that, I need that transition into work time.

Also as soon as I get home the jeans, dress or whatever I'm wearing comes off and comfy clothes go on.

I think it depends on what your pyjamas are. Whether it’s a few pairs of comfy shorts/joggers and a new t shirt every night, or if it’s very pyjama-y such as matching plaid cotton and a dressing gown that you wear each night for a week. I wear the former and to me that’s normal “house clothes” (I WFH anyway) so would just stay in the same clothes for 24 hours but not longer

It Is well documented that people with depression especially women can overcompensate when they are depressed they dress up put a.face on so as not to raise suspicion. So I don't think sitting in pyjamas isn't taking "pride"

No but it really helps with most peoples depression if they take some basic pride in their appearance, and gave the routine of getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. It’s why going to work is so good for mild depression. Gives you purpose in life.

I would never not get dressed. It’s grim. Just buy clothes that you find comfortable to wear FGS.

We were using that word in the AF forty years ago, still use it today 😂

You dont get a depression by wearing pyjamas all day.

Why is staying indoors once in a while any kind of issues? And why is it suddenly acceptable in bad weather but not in sunshine?

I know a lot of people have pyjama days if they're not going out. That's fine if it makes them feel more comfortable.
I always get dressed even if I'm not leaving the house.I don't like being in pjs when I'm not actually in bed.
I've had hospital stays for a few days at a time and I've always put clothes on ,even if it's leggings/ shorts and a loose t shirt and all I'm doing is sitting in a chair by my bed.
There's no right or wrong ,just personal preference

You are not old and out of touch. Just a bit of an clean freak ;)

It feels depressing to me but some people seem to enjoy it. But let's face it, the underlying issue is the spending the whole day indoors without taking children out even for a short walk! Unless it's deep winter and blizzard time.

I completely agree with you. Unless you're ill it feels unpleasant (physically and mentally) to stay in pyjamas.

Oh great, yet another thread judging others for how they live. Why does no one mind their own business any more?

No, but the word minging is.

I need to get washed, dressed etc every day for my mental health. Not necessarily in "going out" clothes, makeup etc but clean day clothes. I am prone to depression and stagnation and getting dressed helps. I remember the midwife coming round when I'd just got home with DS2 and being surprised that I was dressed so PJ days are clearly common (as in usual not rough). It's entirely up to others what they do but not for me personally.

I get up, have a shower and clean pjs on my stay at home days

I think odd days its ok - downtime and rest. Not every day you are home.

I'm the opposite. When I get up, I want to get into some warm clothes, not stand shivering in a cold bathroom waiting for the water to heat up. More, I prefer to shower in the evening to get clean before bed. I don't get grubby in bed.

How about of you showwr and put on fresh sweat pants or pjs.
I often do early evening to relax.
A weekend day at home yes for sure.

Don't see an issue with it. I work hard all week so I choose to chill in pyjamas . I know I'm not doing anything on said day off, so why get dressed . I also answer the door in pyjamas it doesn't bother Me.

Neither do I normally but it doesn't mean I just consistently wear the same set of pyjamas the whole time. I don't sleep in pyjamas so I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed and then put a new set on the next day. I put a proper top on if I've got a Teams meeting. And how sweaty are you getting from sitting at home tapping on a keyboard for 7 hours?

Each to their own, but it's not something I like to do personally. Even if I'm off work due to illness, I'll still get up and change out of my PJs - likely into a pair of comfy joggers, a t-shirt and cardigan. Completing the look by sitting on my favourite chair in the living room, a blanket over my legs and a cup of tea.

I also very rarely have days when I don't leave the house as I get very stir crazy and bored (with the exception of sick days - often when I've got a tummy bug and need to have a toilet close by at all times!)

I’d feel like I was off sick. I don’t think it’s great for kids to see this - getting up and the rituals of being washed and dressed is a fairly essential part of starting your day in the right frame of mind, by to mention the hygiene .
Odd not to leave the house - don’t people go for walks with their kids (if they’re having a can’t be arsed day)?

What's so difficult to understand? There are billions of people on the planet, we're not a monolith.

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I want to do is jump into a nice warm shower, then put on some clean clothes. I find it hard to understand people who don't want to do this.
