AIBU to think that the mums on the school run

[M0naLisa]

Who turn up in their PJs are just lazy?

Why would anyone want to take their child to school in their PJs? It takes what all of 5 mins getting dressed??

Just seen a mum with black and white polka dots PJ bottoms on, fluffy ugg style slippers - they were slippers as they had bunny ears on them flapping about!!

Is it just me who thinks its lazy?

[thisisyesterday]

you are not alone OP

and TESCO don't like it either

[M0naLisa]

I had never EVER seen this until this morning and i actually thought 'noooo why?' then when i saw her i thought 'nah she cant be in her PJs' and she was! I mean Fgs get dressed then get back in your PJs when you get home.

i dont get it my self i suppose maybe its ok if there in car but i wouldent get out so everyone could see me never done it my self. i saw one mum stood there in her jamis while she was putting her child on bus when i see it i just think its lazy i think cant u be arsed to get up and get a wash. im one of them mums who has to shower and put some makeup on has i dont feel myself but thats me it me

[thisisyesterday]

minus i think that's totally fair enough! and you did put clothes on over your pj's

[pictish]

Maybe they don't have an excuse. Maybe they just don't think it's important and don't give a stuff about the lemon faced opinions of others who are bored enough to care?

[baguettecut]

I've never seen it personally, but I would hoist up me judgy pants 'till they hurt if I did!

[DooinMeCleanin]

Anyone who thinks you must be lazy if you don't have time to get dressed clearly does mornings better than me and ought to come and help me. MY house is madness on a morning and while I do have time to at least drag yesterday's clothes off the floor and put on clean knickers, I do understand why some people wouldn't have the time.

M0naLisa at your second post "oops wrong forum" (you got that right)

I'm intrigued, where did you mean to post it?

[southeastastra]

some of the mums at our school are fully dressed yet still look like they have their pjs on

[M0naLisa]

at least you covered yours with clothes.

Ladybutterfly
I have to put make up on too otherwise i look like ive just being warmed up plus makes me feel more awake if i look like i made an effort. Dont get me wrong im not one of these that turn up in full make up, hair done and high heels, christ no.

[ThePosieParker]

They look awful and create a piss poor impression, poor kids having the embarrassment that their mothers can't be arsed to get dressed.

[GetOrfMo1Land]

Yes but dooin - your house is manic in the morning and you have loads to do, but at least you have standards in that you do at least get dressed.

I don't believe anyone is so under the cosh that they cannot spare 2 mins to pull yesterday's jeans on. They're either bone idle or attention seekers.

[ThePosieParker]

I have four dcs, never ever considered not getting dressed, cleaning up and getting to school on time.

AIBU.
only because when i read an AIBU post in Chat it confuses me as to where i am lol.

[MirandaWest]

This morning I felt like keeping my pyjamas on. But didn't. I really do not understand why people would do the school run in pyjamas.

[thisisyesterday]

i don't think it's anything to do with not having enough time

i think it's something they think is funyn and the thing to do right now.

hence the shopping in tesco etc etc... it's just something people are doing at the moment.
looking at the full faces of make up some of them have on i'd say if they have enough time for htat they have enough time to pull some clothes on personally!

[baguettecut]

It's psychological for me. I worked until 9 last night, I'm full of bloody cold but if I hadn't showered, make up'ed and dressed this morning that's the way my day would have stayed. If I'm not done and dusted by 8am there's no hope!

[ThePosieParker]

pictish.....do you wear clothes to school?

[M0naLisa]

I have never once thought on a morning, even when we had the car, ahh i dont think il get dressed today il take DS1 to nursery/school in my PJs. He wont get bullied cause im lazy.
Cause that would be my main worry if i went to school in PJS - Kids can be VERY cruel.

[Bogeyface]

I have mentioned this on another thread but it bears repeating! A mother turned up to our school to wave her dd off on a school residential trip in PJ shorts (no knickers, yes you could tell, no I didnt want to know) a grimy vest top (no bra, yes you could tell and no I still didnt want to know) and that was it.

No shoes, not even slippers.

It was absolutely minging and I felt so sorry for the dd because the other kids were pointing at her mum and she was obviously mortified. The mother has always appeared to be a "take me as I am or go to hell" type, but there are limits ffs. The worst bit was that the bus was delayed for 2 hours, so the images of what no one wanted to see were burned into my retinas!

Yes it is lazy and whilst it doesnt affect me personally, or hurt me in anyway, I reserve the right to look down on someone who cba to drag a pair of jeans on in a morning!

[GetOrfMo1Land]

I think actually it is a trend in certain parts of the country to go out in PJs with full make up on and rollers in your hair.

That certainly is attention seeking 'oooh look at me'.

[Guadalupe]

I have never seen anyone in their pyjamas at school or in a supermarket.

[M0naLisa]

I have to admit i have gone on the school run (dressed) then got home and got back into my PJs adn gone back to bed for an hour but NEVER would i wear what i wore for bed to take my children to school. Bone idleness is what it is.

[CailinDana]

Kids don't notice unless their mothers are judgey bitches.

[fatlazymummy]

I agree OP. It is laziness though it seems to be the fashion in some areas. I don't really understand what is so difficult about getting dressed before leaving the house.
