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

If not going out I’d rather shower and change into joggers and a hoody than stay in PJs.

I don’t sleep in pyjamas and there’s rarely a day we don’t leave the house, but on such days I would have a shower then stick on whatever I have that closest resembles pyjamas. I absolutely wouldn’t be wearing a bra. DS 18m, would stay in onesie if it doesn’t get covered in breakfast.

Also lots of things have benefits but that doesn't mean you need to do them every single day 🙄

@Neurodiversitydoctor show me the research that says it benefits ALL people.

I agree with you OP.

So your needs and wishes come first no matter what @Neurodiversitydoctor?

Would you feel the same if you had an autistic or neurodiverse child who needed a day "off" from the world in order to regulate and not become overwhelmed?

I hope your username isn’t reflective of your job title 😬

I spend most of my time in pyjamas because I work from home and theyre comfy. I dont sleep in them though, theyre more like my day clothes. I'm happy, I don't mind what other people think and hobestly I never think about whether other people do or not, their daywear choices do not affect me 😁

That's fine for you ( well tbh probably not great, how do you get your 10,000 steps?) but is absolutely not ok for young children.

We stay in PJs all day for a lazy day at home but that happens maybe once every couple of months and is not a regular thing

@Bunchesofhyacinths not short enough that you don't have time to change.

Exactly ! In the depts of the winter and its lashing rain and we don't need to go anywhere, who cares ?

I was dressed though 😀

I was gonna say - there’s an opposite end to this spectrum, which is people who have to have a face full of makeup to sit in the house/pop to the shops! Each to their own.

I do, I do 10 minutes yoga everyday before my morning shower. Doesn't negate the need to get fresh air. The benefits of walking outdoors are well researched.

Why wouldn't you sit in your home on a Sunday or whenever do you not like your house ? I mean if it helps you to be out and about then crack on but not everyone is you, I wasn't over the door yesterday I did some bits pieces of housework caught up on TV played with my dog then napped it was great. I didn't feel shut in or lazy or unexcersised

Lounge wear. It's that in between . I wouldn't go out in it. But I also don't consider it sleep wear . If its say a Sunday and I know we are in for the day I give my kids till just before lunch . Then say shower/change into comfy clothing .

I’m so confused.

Are you talking about kids or dogs now?

The OP is talking about a range of people from what I can see. Some people who do it occasionally and one person who spent three days in their pyjamas. (Disclaimer: I haven’t gone back and checked and need to disappear now because I need to get dressed and take the dog for a walk before work).

YANBU. It's grim.

I quite often say “I didn’t get dressed all weekend” if I’ve literally stayed in and not done anything, but I’ve showered every night and put on clean pjs, I don’t especially sweat in my sleep (maybe I will when I get older?) so I just don’t feel the need to put some clean clothes on in the morning and create more washing for myself
I’ve still got up and brushed my teeth / washed my face each morning too
so I really don’t see how that’s minging OP

A ten minute walk ? yes I absolutely would. There is good evidence that it benefits all our physical and mental health. As I said different if we are all spending plenty of time in a large garden, but unusual to do this in your pyjamas.

I think it's sad that if someone couldn't be arsed to walk their dog, people would be up in arms about the cruelty and laziness of it and they'd question your ability to care for that dog generally.

Dogs aren't children 🤷‍♀️

But also, I don't walk my dog everyday - he gets a couple of days "off" a month because I find it hugely benefits him to do so. He sleeps, plays in the garden, has some mental stimulation and is perfectly happy.

I couldn't do it unless I was ill. I need to get dressed and face the day, even if I'm staying in all day. I was brought up to think it's somewhat slovenly to spend too much time in pyjamas.

Haha you know it's okay to have an occasional day where you don't leave the house.

It's not a 'half life' ffs 🙄

These are examples from just last weekend- friend said did I fancy joining her for a dog walk, a neighbour rang to say her car wouldn’t start and please could we try jump starting it, delivery driver left a parcel for another neighbour and I took it round, and I wanted to make a cake and had to go out for eggs. All necessitated leaving the house at short notice. Probably other things too that I’ve forgotten.
