Wearing pyjamas around the house?

Just a lighthearted one!

At weekends I always come downstairs in my PJs, have a slow morning and a cuppa before getting ready for the day. And in the evenings, once I’ve put my daughter to bed, I normally get straight back into my PJs (as long as I’m not expecting company!) and then go downstairs to watch TV/relax until it’s actually time to go up to bed.

My friend seems to think this is weird and that pyjamas should only ever be worn in the bedroom. For clarity, we’re not talking anything revealing — just long bottoms and a T-shirt, the comfy kind you could answer the door in if the postman knocked!

Surely I’m not the only one who does this? Is wearing PJs around the house really that unusual?

Would love to know what everyone else does!

When I worked in an office as soon as I got home PJs went on. Now I wfh I have been known to work in my PJs on occasions. And certainly each evening come 6.30pm the pjs are on

your friend is wrong

Why do you care about what your friend thinks or does in her own home?

Zanatdy · 10/12/2025 18:29

it’s your friend who is weird. Everyone I know does the same as you.

If I’m not going out at the weekend I’ll often wear PJs all day and then have a long bath and put on fresh PJs. It’s not weird, it’s wonderful. Your friends are missing out!

Does your friend expect you to ‘dress up’ to watch tv on your sofa Hmm

If I’m not leaving the house I often wear pjs all day! ( clean ones - I take them off when I get in bed)

Not weird. At times I haven’t changed out of them all day. In fact changed out of leggings into my pjs to watch tv tonight.

As soon as I get in from work, I put PJs on 😂 I don't have comfy/lounging clothes. I don't want to sit around in jeans or a dress!

Mariammaom · 10/12/2025 18:26

Of course you can wear comfortable lounge/sleep wear in your own home!!!

Totally normal imho! I’m currently rocking an oodie too 😂

If I don't have plans that involve going outside I likely would keep the jammies on all day. Saves on washing as well

This is absolutely not weird! I love lounging around in my pjs on a lazy weekend morning.
