to think if you are out in your Pj's in the middle of the afternoon you area dirty lazy B&%$*&D

[yogididabooboo]

I am getting increasngly perpelexed at the numbers of women, not just young gilrs, but women who walk around at 3pm in their PJ's.

I started seeing it at the school gates and assumed mum was woken late and just rushed to get child to school.
BUt then i would see the same mum collect the child in the afternoon in the same Pj's.

i am now seeing them walking around supermarkets in them.

WTF is wrong with pulling on jeans and a baggy jumper if you can't be arsed to make an effort?

it is disgusting. it can't be hygenic surely?

How do you know they are PJs and not jog pants? the two look pretty much the same.

they might be night workers, getting up to pick up the kids, it's a 24 hour society.

fangbanger - I know red nose day is different but not everyone is going to know why I am doing it. Maybe people will think that I've finally had a breakdown or something!

I just think that you should try and look normal when you take your child to school. Children pick up on all sorts. My DDs friends keep telling her that her Mum is fat and she doesn't like it. I don't like it to be honest, but I am, so what can you do?! I wouldn't further embarrass her by turning up with pyjamas on. I don't think there's any excuse. Even when I have a migraine to the point that I can barely stand up, I still stick a pair of jeans and a top on and try and make my hair look presentable before I take DD to school.

To the OP this is SO old news - it was played to death in the newspapers well over a year ago. Please go and find something more interesting.

Why on earth did I waste my time reading this! I forgot it was half term.

to avoid embarassment? so you can go in wearing a bikini or a mini skirt or something and others wont be embarassed?

nailak - I guess that was directed at me?! Did I say I would go to school wearing a bikini or a mini skirt?! I said that I attempt to look normal to avoid my child being needlessly embarrassed by my appearance. Given that I've already admitted to being a fatty, I think it's unlikely that I would turn up to school in either a bikini or a mini skirt (in fact, I've never owned either of those items of clothing in my life.)
Perhaps I should've written an extensive list of attire I feel is inappropriate for the school run.

I go to Tesco in my PJ's frequently when A. I've already changed for the night and B. I have decided I want something urgently- before they shut. I just throw on my outerwear and set off. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.bikeriteuk.com/images/uploads/rst_rift_ladies_jkt.jpg&imgrefurl=www.bikeriteuk.com/jackets/rst-rift-ladies-textile-jacket/prod_74.html&usg=__pgryY1KFvB-HZEydE_75jl55Myg=&h=1038&w=425&sz=52&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=qNE8c9LZFhFRaM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=55&ei=Pb5lTfXJBs-xhAeovdjnBQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dladies%2Btextile%2Bjean%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D700%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1144&vpy=258&dur=2646&hovh=351&hovw=143&tx=119&ty=181&oei=Pb5lTfXJBs-xhAeovdjnBQ&page=1&ndsp=44&ved=1t:429,r:42,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">But for some reason absolutly no body ever notices.

noooo, nonoid wasnt directed at u!!! i read that article that in the tescos they said no nightwear in order to prevent embarassment and i was talking about that!! it just didnt make sense to me,

and i dont get the big deal, if its night time and you need milk or something and drive to tesco in dressing gown!!

Oh ok, nailak. I retract my comment then! I'm obviously getting paranoid with the lack of sleep.

I just don't see why anyone would want to go out in their pyjamas. Do you have to take your pyjamas off to put underwear on and then put your pyjamas back on? Or do you just walk around with your boobs swinging about?!

I would never go out the house in my PJ's - I wont even pop to the shop, literally, across the road in them - but if the school sent a letter home like that I would start doing both drop offs and pick ups in mine - the day the school starts to think it can determine what the parents wear is the day they start getting a lot of mind you own bloody business letters! Cheeky feckers.

Going out in one's pj's would have indicated mental illness when I was young (I'm 40), and would have led to much sniggering and probably pointing by any children (and possibly adults!) in the vicinity.

Sadly it appears to reflect a general drop in standards and expectations...consider the 1940's/1950's when ladies would be perfectly coiffed to pop down to the local shops - hat gloves et al (well certainly if you believe the pathe newsreels anyway)

I'm not saying that everyone should be in best bib and tucker all the time but HELL'S TEETH, pyjamas to go shopping in, what's the world coming to?

Each to their own but god, how depressing...

I work nights- still wouldn't leave the house to pick DD up in pyjamas! No way! It just looks so slovenly!

I can honestly say I have never seen this. I will keep a look out, unless someone here can post a picture?

The dummies thing was fashionable when I was a teenager too. I think the giant babygrow thing might be new though.

I also just don't understand how anyone can care so much about what other people wear. Especially when they're talking about teenagers. Teenage girls are supposed to wear stuff that makes their parents despair, and which they'll laugh about in later life. My friends and I used to wear some ridiculous things.

This has been very popular in some areas of Glasgow for a long time i.e. poorer areas and is pretty depressing I think. We would call it neddy here rather than chavvy...although I believe people should wear what they want, I really hate it and do make judgements on the women who do it. What I don't get is if you have time to slap tons of orange crap on your face, why haven't you got time to get dressed?

I have to go to Morrisons later to do the weekly shop. It'll be around 4pm and I can guarantee there'll be at least a few in there wearing PJs. I think it's just bloody lazy not to put on a pair of jeans and a top, or similar.

People can wear what they like but if they go out in nightwear I'm going to judge them as lazy buggers.

Define nightware what if you sleep in your jeans?

I don't have any specially defined Nightware I just wear old T-shirts that get stained and holes in em and that so I ain't wearing them out no more.

Too much judegmentalness going on here you need to chill.

I sleep in t shirts that I don't wear to go out in anymore.

Why would you sleep in jeans unless you were too drunk to take them off?

Cos it's cold and jeans is the only trousers you have.

I've honestly never seen this, wish I had. Do you think there is some sort of cultural tour I could go on?

I do like to change into mine by 7 pm though. I dropped a friend's son off at his house one day last week and his dad (who was working at home) answered the door wearing his jimjams (at 5 pm), and I said without thinking "oh sorry didn't realise you were working on something in your pyjamas."

This is definitely a fashion among the yoof at the moment (not that I am all that old myself!) - I have a much younger SIL and at the weekend we went out (during the day) with her dressed in what to my untrained eye LOOKED like pjs but I assume they actually weren't. There weren't actually little sheep on them or anything but it was pj material for sure.

But if I saw anyone aged over about 25 wearing pjs I would probably either assume they were ill and on their way to the doctor's or had just wandered out of hospital!

I am not judging though, I quite literally live in jeans (clean ones - I have many pairs ) so I am probably a lot less fashionable than the pj-wearing crowd!

I know about the dummy thing!

It originated at raves where people were off their heads on E. They used dummies to stop them gurning like fools. I guess the trent must have taken off?

Anyone remember those sugar dummies you could buy at the fair?

trend, not trent

I blame the cheerleaders.

I frick you not.
