To tell my husband to stop saying this?

Surely it’s not a good look on a girl either?

These are cute for a Xmas present!

They are advertised as unisex.

Hard to tell if your DH is being unreasonable re cut but his language and delivery is awful and I would be telling him to stop.

For something loose fitting like pyjamas, what's the difference?

It's fine for your son to wear what he wants, inside or outside the house.

If there is an issue with an item of clothing - i.e. slightly more revealing than would be ideal in social situations, then the answer to that is to keep them for home and not sleepovers.

My DS went through a phase when he was about 4 wanting to wear some fairy wings. He wore them a lot for about a month. The only time DH made him take them off was when he was taking DS out in the car and he couldn't wear the wings in the car seat. Once they got to where they were going, the wings were back on. So I feel your DH is unreasonable and is sending a message to your son that he has to conform to stereotypes.

DS would have worn similar if the picture was of a different animal.

Maybe the shorts don't fit quite right as they are designed for girls bodies not boys. But that's more about the style and shape than the actual picture.

It sounds like the shorts are too small, that's all. Why not just get some plain pyjama pants (that fit) and wear them with a cat t-shirt? We are heading into winter now anyway so just get some long pyjama pants.

I have mo problem with people wearing whatever they want, my DS is right now the same size as me and he wears lots of my clothes (and me his). But teeny pyjama shorts on a boy is really not a good look. Nothing to do with stereotyping.

Who needs to worry about school bullies when you’re own father does it in the comfort of your home 😒

Can you please show your husband this personal message to him from me?

You are a wanker.

Biologically not true. Girls tend to be slightly bigger and heavier at that age due to an earlier onset of puberty. If anything, girls pyjamas should be cut larger in the bum and hips.

Your husband is a bit of a creep as well as a bully.

He shouldn't be saying he cant wear them because its a cat print. But if they dont fit him then i agree. Thats just sensible. If something is to small for my children I buy a bigger size.
To be fair its the top thats more cat related. Why cant he wear different pj's shorts with the top?

This is more of the concern. That he thinks revealing/very short clothes are for girls to wear.

Sorry I have to agree they are girls pyjamas and obviously they don’t fit. If you google boys cat pyjamas loads come up, maybe they would fit better and be a much more suitable choice.

What do you find attractive about this man?

It’s a non issue but they are girl pjs and shorts on those are different to your typical boy pjs. It’s entirely up to you as his parent and if he likes them but they are girl like so your husband is right however it’s not like you’re sending him our in a pink princess dress. So you can continue to put him in them if you want

That’s actually really creepy.

Oh well if your nine year old says it that's it then, final decision.

No they’re not. I work with primary age.

I beg to differ. Year 4 boys are by and large taller than the girls.

I thought from your description they'd be hot pants and a vest top - those pjs are fine for a little boy.
Your husband is being unfair.

I mean I’d probably strongly suggest he doesn’t wear them to a sleepover or school pyjama day but why does it matter what he wears to lie around the house in?!

At 9 boys aren’t bigger than girls. If they’re a smaller cut it’s simply a design thing (and one that infuriates me having girls of a similar age, because they don’t want their bum cheeks hanging out of their shorts either).

OP, people wear all sorts of things in bed, and your DH is being vvv unreasonable. I don’t know why some PP are saying they will be “cut for girls” - if anything, they will have a larger bottom for a girl than a boy, but there’s not much difference at their age. I’ve seen my DGD wearing actual boy’s pyjamas that were her older brother’s - no problem there. What is the big deal:it’s a cat. There are, however, other cat pyjamas available - these are a similar price to those you bought, and there’s a choice of different styles. https://www.joom.com/en/products/657aaa4621821c0147d0cbb9?srsltid=AfmBOork3O1Y5gcAvpXXkgoPkjFV-DHXKjCvJqo-L0kBquvdKhh2JBKs&variant_id=657aaa4621821c8147d0cbbf&reviewsType=withPhoto. Tell your DH to buy your DS an alternative pair if he’s so upset about what your DS has - but there’s no reason why he shouldn’t wear the pair he has.

Tell your son to wind his dad up by saying “I LOVE my girl’s pjs, I. Fact mum - please can you buy some more!”

But they are a girls design so will be a smaller cut than a boys version of the same item - girls tend to be smaller than boys.
I’d size up further if you can.
