To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I commented to a colleague about one of these threads several years ago "it would never happen in [picturesque village we worked in]" and then bugger me, two women appeared in their pj's, slippers and dressing gowns.

I think the difference here is “hidden under my coat”. The op is talking about those who openly wear their pjs. I’d say that’s a rather different type of person.

Dropping dd1 at school for 5am for a school trip, not one of the 47 parents were in pjs.

If I trailed around the house in pyjamas all day, I think I'd get down mentally. I like the transition of showering and dressing, its a sign the day has started.

Someone mentioned up thread that a woman may be too depressed to change into their clothes.
It's no coincidence that in hospital the staff make you get dressed if you're able to. No advantage to them, but it's mood changing for the patient.

I just can't imagine caring this much about what people wear. Also, unless it's obvious with dressing gowns etc you aren't always going to know what people wear for pjs.

On children in need day, my son’s teacher actually did wear her PJs!

I hear what you are saying. Though if I could choose a warm and loving pj-wearing parent or a harsh and cold beautifully attired parent, it would be a no brainer for me.

I don't do it myself but I couldn't give a shite what other people wear.

I can't get excited about this. And I don't find it particularly grim (unless the pyjamas are obviously dirty), just a bit odd.

I have never worn pyjamas on the school run, or to a supermarket, or indeed anywhere other than bed. I am pretty lazy in general though. If I have an opportunity for a nap I’ll take it. Is it still a bad human trait if it doesn’t involve going to Tesco in my onesie?

I’ve never seen anyone in PJ’s at a hotel, including dozens of stays in a Premier Inn all across the Uk. I observe it to be a ‘thing’ in certain areas or amongst a certain class of people.

Miracle cures, don’t be ridiculous!

I like nothing better than putting clean pjs on for the day. I'm sorry you can't enjoy this life OP

It's a pretty bad human trait, yes.

And you're not 'rolling' out of bed or 'rolling' back in, are you?

You're sitting up, getting out of bed and taking your children to school.

It would take less than 2 minutes to take your pyjamas off and put some clothes on.

Then less than 2 minutes to put your pyjamas on again before you climb back into bed.

Dry Robe Wankers.

Taking up the space if about 15 people.

Because it's a bit grim to wear bed clothes during the day...dies he gets up, shower and then get back into his sleep wear?

That's odd.

I’d rather see people in the supermarket wearing pyjamas than the god awful Dry Robes and wolf fleeces.

I wouldn't do it but nor would I waste my time judging others for it.
You've no idea what's going on with them and out of all the things going on in the world this is what you spend your energy worrying about?
YABU.

I have done the school run in pjs when I was on nights and literally had from drop off at school to pick up to sleep, couldn’t wear my work uniform so I would get home from work, shower and put pjs on- drop kids at school (would try to hide pjs under my coat) and then come home and go to bed

lots of shift workers do this

Ruh-roh! You've learned my secret!

I have seen pj's and slippers at the gas station, grocery store, school runs, fast food places and have been told about kids going to school wearing flannel pj pants, slippers and a hoodie.

I hate eating or preparing food in my PJs. Grease, crumbs, coffee, juice, etc. will get on them. Are these people in hotels putting those same PJs back on at night and sleeping in grubby, possibly food-stained PJs?

If you actually bothered to read the quotes you would see that I was not making a correlation between people who wear pyjamas in public and child neglect.

My original comment was to reply to a poster who commented "wow" to a comment from another poster who suggested that women who have chaotic lifestyles shouldn't have children.
I then said I agreed that women who have chaotic lifestyles shouldn't have children. I also gave some examples of behaviours which, in combination, could mean the parent was living a chaotic lifestyle. I did not mention the wearing of pyjamas in public as one of those behaviours.

I see full PJs and dressing gowns. Fucking grim! I dont want their unwashed hands over the food. Bleugh

I hate to see people out shopping in their PJs and, very sadly, it seems to be women more often than not. I think it shows a lack of respect, both for themselves and others.

If they couldn't be bothered to change, chances are they didn't wash their hands before handling the spoons and bread at the buffet either.

Laziness is all it is, that and lack of self respect.

If you don't respect yourself, you won't respect others.
