Is there anyone that’s HASN'T got matching family pjs?

I think it’s cute just wondering if there’s anyone left out there that doesn’t lol.

No as we would all feel utter twats.

I have never seen anyone I know post on social media that they are doing this.

LindaEllen · 07/12/2020 20:19

I'd love to do matching ones with DP (no chance of 17yo SS getting involved ha ha) but I'm genuinely scared of what his reaction to my request might be! :D

Ew. Definitely not.

No.

I wonder if it is a “family with only young children” thing to do 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lots of us saying no seem to have teens (although my youngest is 4) saying that I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have considered it early on in our family life either.

Christmastime4 · 07/12/2020 20:25

Yes I think it’s young children

Not happening in this house
EVER!!

ikltownofboothlehem · 07/12/2020 20:28

Us. DH & I don't wear PJs ever. I'd definitely never get matching ones. Not our cup of tea.

TheSandman · 07/12/2020 20:29

What a weird and disturbing concept. Matching PJs? What a bizarre thing to do. I bet the marketing guru who came up with that one got a fat bonus.

I sleep naked - (when it's not freezing) I think I'll skip.

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 07/12/2020 20:29

DD (10) was desperate for it, so I bought some for her and me but not DH (he doesn't wear pyjamas, so that wasn't happening). I don't mind, they're mildly cringe-making but comfortable and it makes her happy. No-one sees them except us!

FelicityPike · 07/12/2020 20:30

Us. My DH is a chunky fella and I can never see any at a decent price to fit him.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 07/12/2020 20:31

Nope. No matching PJs here. We also don't have Christmas bedding, Christmas eve boxes or elf on the shelf. And the tree won't be up for another 2 weeks.

starsinyourpies · 07/12/2020 20:31

My kids would love it but no.

maddiemookins16mum · 07/12/2020 20:32

God no. Very twee.

Wotrewelookinat · 07/12/2020 20:33

No...waaaayy too cringey for us and our teen daughters.

MojoJojo71 · 07/12/2020 20:34

DD and I have matching PJs, matching bobble hats that were on the list for Santa last year and this year we’ve got matching Christmas jumpers from Next. She is only 8 though so still thinks I’m awesome and not hideously embarrassing 😆

Changethetoner · 07/12/2020 20:34

I believe it is a fad, and for people who like to post on social media - all matchy matchy and perfect on Christmas morning. So, no, I don't do that.

SpudsandGravy · 07/12/2020 20:34

Not me. I tried, but the cat refuses to wear them :-(

Fleetwoodmacs · 07/12/2020 20:35

Whole family is pretty cringey. I have little kids though and I'd like to get them matching ones....

AntiHop · 07/12/2020 20:38

No. Seems like a huge waste as dd would need a new set every year.

tmh88 · 07/12/2020 20:39

I have got us matching pjs for the first time this year we are going for a “cheesy” Christmas the 3 of us Blush I don’t have social media though so nobody else will know about our cringe fest Grin

ScubaSteven · 07/12/2020 20:39

God no, I buy my boys matching PJs but only because they always want what the other has! Not for me and DH though.

GameSetMatch · 07/12/2020 20:39

No, we certainly don’t, I don’t wear PJs often and my boys like shorts not long pants in bed DH couldn’t care less so we won’t be participating it that tradition.

lazylinguist · 07/12/2020 20:40

Confused As far as I'm aware, I don't know anyone who does have matching family pyjamas.
