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?

Sensible mid sized chunky heeled black ankle boots, preferably zip up for speed! As worn by mums under bootleg jeans and preferably a fleece jacket for the the school run!

[thisisyesterday]

sometimes i think you just have to accept that when everyone else is saying you're wrong, that you might just be wrong.

[AuntieMonica]

geeeze...some of you have to chill out a bit!

honestly, so what if a woman turns up wearing less than boden?

you know what, that's going to be my new name

brb

[pictish]

I don't protest too much....I just disagree that's all.

I live two miles from school and go on foot every morning....and get up before the kids to get dressed and ready of a morning.

That's me though - what another parent chooses to do is not my concern. Why do you all think it's yours?

[ConstanceNoring]

You see I don't know if I'm judging when I see things like this, I don't think to myself "tut what a lazy cow what are you doing to your children" but I do wonder very much what has happened during their morning that they couldn't get dressed

So is wondering as bad as judging?

I also wonder in the same way why some parents come screeching into the school close at the last minute every morning , why don't they just get up earlier? - I suppose then my wondering flows over into judging.

[M0naLisa]

Well if you dont like, fuck off this thread then. Whilst us judgypants mothers judge!!

[baguettecut]

I blame Simon Cowell.

[LidlVoice]

I'm really shocked that anyone thinks it's acceptable to wear PJs in public. Who are you people? If you think it's okay you must have very low standards yourselves.

If people didn't judge others' behaviour we'd be living in anarchy. Some things just shouldn't be considered acceptable behaviour; not if you have any dignity anyway.

[Bogeyface]

Should I start on how not bothering to get dressed doesnt give the right impression to children either? Why should they bother making an effort when clearly their mothers cba?

Nowt birdbrained about having the self respect to have a wash and get dressed in the morning before leaving the house.

I wonder what your nets look like

[WearingLessThanBoden]

where was I?

oh yes, I'm wearing PJs right now

judge away, you think i'm lazy, you think i'm showing my DD up?

you want to have seen the Ocado delivery man's face

[pictish]

Nope - I'm going to stay and point and laugh at the silly women who have nothing better to worry about than what other parents wear on the school run. If it's all the same to you.

[MerylStrop]

Ok. All these posters who pretend it is generally conducted practice to go out in their nightclothes are having a larf.

Maybe it's an off day. Better to get the kid to school on time than faff around with your hair straighteners and beauty routine or whatever.

OP I think it is perfectly reasonable to feel just a smidgen judgy about it.

[CailinDana]

Well at least there's some honesty coming out now, with people admitting they feel a need to judge others about inconsequential things.

Constance I don't think wondering about it is the same a judging, it's unusual to see someone wearing PJs so it's pretty normal to wonder about it. But deciding that the person is "lazy" and damaging their children is just ridiculous, and implies that they are somehow less than you. If you like to big yourself up by deciding others are lazy go ahead.

[pictish]

blah blah blaaaahhhh...no matter how much you purse your lips, it's still none of your damn business....

[ConstanceNoring]

AuniteMonica "honestly, so what if a woman turns up wearing less than boden?"

Funnily enough one of the parents who comes screeching into the school grounds at the last minute is dressed immaculately head to toe in Boden and her pre-schooler in Cath Kiston, - all perfectly co-ordinated and I do judge wonder if you can do that why can't you get in to school on time.

[M0naLisa]

Oooh i do like a good mumsboot - will start calling them that!

Pictish
yeah but YOU get dressed, if you didnt bother to get dressed then so be it and you would be like the women im talking about, YOU make an effort but the lady this morning, clearly didnt. But yet her child has to get dressed.

[Bogeyface]

I wonder what your nets look like :o:o:o

[baguettecut]

That's over simplifying things though, pictish. People are allowed opinions. If you don't care then why protest so much, just get on and do your thang!

[M0naLisa]

oooh this thread has just shown up on my newsfeed haha theres a first for everything! haha

[thestringcheeseincident]

What are these lazy slobs doing while the children are getting in the uniforms? As GetOrf said, 2 mins to pull on yesterdays jeans.

[GetOrfMo1Land]

But it takes a minute to get dressed.

Why is it such an monumental task to do that?

I think it is quite extraordinary to defend the practice of not bothering to get dressed in the morning.

[WearingLessThanBoden]

because Constance as long as you look the part, everyone will brush your appalling lack of time-keeping aside?

as in 'aw bless, but at least she made an effort'

[GetOrfMo1Land]

I was joking about the nets, pictish
