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

Not sure on hygiene level but I just feel mentally sleepy if I'm in my pyjamas, it feels like I should be ill. Prefer a shower and dressed fresh even if it's comfy leggings and a baggy tee

Well l do..
But l sleep naked.
Get my morning shower and then put clean pj's on.
They are just like people wearing comfies or tracksuits etc.
Did she definitely say ones she had slept in?

Excellent points. I suspect some posters would have conniptions if I mentioned my once weekly PJ washes and once fortnightly sheet washes! 😱

It must be exhausting being this judgmental 😂

I often wear pyjamas around the house - not ones I've worn to bed though. I don't really like wearing outside clothes in the house as with cats they get covered in cat fur, get threads pulled etc.

And DS is autistic and wears the same clothes day and night, only gets changed after weekly swimming sessions, so I can't get stressed that some people sometimes do that at weekends.

I don’t personally do it, I have a chronic debilitating illness and I still wake up and get dressed for the day as it makes me feel prepared for the day - even when I’m at home 90% of the time. My son on the other hand, he’s often in comfy lounge clothes at home but occasionally I let him be comfortable in his pyjamas all day. That’s what being a kid is all about.

But that’s my CHOICE. Unlike you, I’m not judging other people for what they do with themselves and their own children. Personally, I think as long as they bath and get into fresh pyjamas before they get into bed - there’s no issue.

Once a week staying once week do you think that is detrimental to a child's development what do you think will happen?

Personally I like to get changed first thing, because I know visitors will come, i want to work out or I have errands to do. But I don't mind my kids being in pyjamas until lunch time at the weekend, they get changed after lunch. I wouldn't like them being in their pyjamas all day and night, unless they were poorly.

Well, you all do what you want with your kids. It's no skin off your nose or mine if I think it's a poor effort.

But kids are out every weekday anyway, at kinder or school. I know I was more than happy to stay home and mostly indoors as a child, and I didn't have the endless round of activities kids now (at least in Britain) seem to take part in. Being taken for walks is the only time most dogs are off the property.

One day home, how often? One day home -now and then, or once a week each week and six days out and about, or in one of the two days they aren't in nursery that week?

Why are their standards the superior ones? 🤷‍♀️

Answering the door in PJs and dressing gown (if I'm wearing PJs it's cold weather, so the dressing gown is a must) doesn't bother me at all. I did it twice in the last few days, once to a neighbour and once to our landlord (the manager of the retirement village we live in, who had to come in to look at my broken shower head).

I'm astounded that people think like this and are so anxious that 1 day at home is detrimental to a child's development.

Yeah, there will be days when weather kills play (I'm not sure that cleaning the house would leave you so spent you couldn't go outdoors though?) But getting dressed is a good habit, a way to signal a change of pace in the day and if the weather does stop chucking it down you are ready to take advantage of it and go out. Or you go to the shops, or to a playgroup, go swimming, the library if you have one - just be in the outside world for a bit.

But they can do that the rest of the week though ? Maybe they just want to stay in do a bit of housework and sort out meals for the week ahead or it's pouring of rain with gales and just want to stay in.

Lacking against the standards of parents who get their toddlers dressed and take them out into the fresh air each day to see the world around them. So they can build a bigger catalogue of experiences and expand their vocabulary as they find new things on their travels.

I sometimes have PJ days but strangely i like to put ‘clean’ PJ’s on at bedtime! I think it’s a personal preference.

You're not being unreasonable OP. I don't like it either. Sitting around in bed clothes you've slept in all night possibly unwashed including maybe teeth alot of the time or even sometimes is gross and not a good example. If we're having a day at home we all still have a wash and brush teeth and put our comfies on, fresh PJ's maybe but usually tracky bottoms and loose tops, bra free for me (soooooo nice), make up free (lush) , nice bed socks or leggings and t shirts with oodies. Get dressed and have a wash you Jeremy Kylers....😂🥴

So you think if someone stays home.say a Tuesday with their toddler is lacking In what exactly?

No no no not normally. I'm sleeping downstairs at present in a sleeping bag on a sofa so I'm close to kettle for hot water bottle, access to loo and the heater.

Sleeping bag is washed first thing in case I've touched something and accidentally transferred the disease to it. It's very easy to wash and then have it dry by evening.

Normally I'm once a week for bedding!

This won't be for much longer, only a week. Just spoke to GP and apparently I'm still contagious, boo. The frequent washing is only illness related and I can stop it soon. Wasn't expecting to be grilled on this!

Please continue with daytime pj discussions

I don't care what others do and I wouldn't describe it as minging, but I would feel uncomfortable without a morning bath or shower and clean clothes. I don't like the feeling of sticky armpits and down below. Occasionally my kids will stay in pjs if we're not going out and they will have their evening bath a bit earlier than usual. Even when I'm ill I find I feel a bit better after getting showered and dressed.

Lacking according to who, exactly?

It's not for us as a family. At least one would be having a shower in the morning and just feels nice to have something clean against my skin. If bed clothes are to be used next night, I like to leave them to air a bit as well. Mind you, it's rare DD and myself would have been in all day - as a family we've always gone out every day if only for a walk, taking DD to park.

I do however cringe when I see people (adults) out in public in their pj’s. That IS vile
