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 visited Amsterdam last year and was shocked to see an apparently middle class women coming down to breakfast in her pj's,dressing gown and slippers. Similarly going round Tescos where there are people, especially women in pj's and slippers. No doubt I'll be called an old right wing fascist or something.

When i lived in Spain for a while, all the ladies dressed up to go shopping. It suggests a pride in one's appearance that we seem to have lost.

I came out of sainsburys tonight at 5.30pm and two women where walking into the supermarket in full pjs and slippers!!

They should be stopped at the door until they come back dressed!

I'm just reporting hearsay about the Tesco and school run, though as I said I have seen the pj's in the Amsterdam Hotel. Another hotel I visited recently had a sign saying, please come to the breakfast area suitably attired. I would feel embarrassed to go out wearing my pjs 🙃

How would those kids feel if their teachers turned up dishevelled in their pj's.

Where do you live?! I’ve never seen school run or supermarket pjs though I’m with you on the hotel pjs!

How does a child feel being dropped off at school by a parent who can't even make an effort to look presentable. Personally, I don't go out unless I have make up on and am wearing jewellery and nice clothes. What's wrong with that?

Yes, I think it sends an awful message to their kids too. Have some dignity.

Yes, you'll probably get flamed but I agree with you. It's absolutely grim behaviour. No one needs full make up and a blow dry if they don't want to, but pull on some clean tracky pants and a hoody or something

BYW don't buy ready meals for your kids which Mumsnet is advertising.
