To go out the front in pyjamas/dressing gown?

Aibu to go outside the front in my pyjamas or dressing gown to water the plants or put the bins out?

What about answering the door to the delivery in pyjamas?

Just interested to know peoples views on this.

I couldn’t care less about going out the front in my pyjamas. I would NOT go to the shops or school run in them though.

Yep, just watered the garden and put the bin out in my dressing gown. Completely covered from neck to mid-calf, so perfectly decent. I was just so hot when I got home my nice cotton dressing gown called me!

Has anyone in your life taken umbrage with you doing this op ?

Glitchymn1 · 30/04/2025 19:20

I would and have! I buy nicer pyjamas now🤣

I never used to, but now my youngest is at a special school and gets picked up at 7:20, yes I do!

I have no issue with you being on your own property in PJ's and dressing gown. I once had to run down the road in PJ's, dressing gown and fluffy slippers to try to catch the bin man as they were collecting a day early and I had forgotten. I often put the rubbish or recycling out or get the milk in in my PJs. I often drive to pick my son up from his Nightshift at 6.30 a.m. in my PJ bottoms and a hoody. I realise I will regret this on the day I break down

But I wouldn't generally leave the confines of my property in my PJs.

I will answer the front door in my PJ's but do not go to the shops in them .Standards have to be kept.

I wouldn’t leave home but I would go out the front for bins etc.

I walk the dog every morning between 8-8.15, just over to the grass space outside the house, so she can pee before I get in the shower. She refuses to pee in the garden. I refuse to get dressed for this.

I suspect the local school mums are horrified 😂

I regularly go to the shops and do school/nursery runs in my pyjamas.

Do whatever you want.

Sminty2 · 30/04/2025 19:13

I wouldn’t but I wouldn’t judge either. Each to their own.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 30/04/2025 19:13

Wouldn’t leave the house in pyjamas to actually go somewhere but would open the door/nip in to the garden (for example putting the bin out)

I go out the front in my PJs

I am NOT someone who would go to shops in PJs but I definitely go to the door or even out to the bins in dressing gown. I'd say goodbye to kids at the door in PJs or dressing gown too
