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!! Hmm

Is it just me who thinks its lazy?

Why protest so much?
Because MY pet peeve is those involving themselves and opinionating on the trivial doings of others, that don't affect them in the slightest, as though any of it matters, and their point of view is important.

CailinDana i think you've misunderstood me, I was saying I don't judge and think they are lazy, I wonder what has happened during their morning.

big yourself up ROFL Grin

The assumption that if you can be dressed, with make up on AND hair done too you can't manage to get your kids to school on time may be true for some people but not all.

baguettecut · 23/09/2011 09:47

pictish, thier point of view is important.

M0naLisa · 23/09/2011 09:49

I think if this thread was

AIBU to think that they mum on the school run could have at least straightened her hair, id have got flamed for it and id be donning my hard hat but in all seriousness, i cant believe people actually think its ok to go out in their PJs.

lol

I am positively in awe of her appearance, - I have never seen her wear the same thing twice, - so yes, it does create a clever distraction to her tardiness. Grin

GetOrfMo1Land · 23/09/2011 09:50

I have a point of view about many things (not all as mind numbingly trivial about pyjamas at school admittedly) - just because it differs with yours pictish doesn't mean I am wrong, or not entitled to have an opinion.

You may think I am a judgemental twat, I may think you are pious.

M0naLisa · 23/09/2011 09:50

I got up at 7.40 this morning (Late as i snoozed a couple times) and i still had time for a coffee, make up on and dressed, whilst also assisting my DS in tucking his shirt in.

Seriously, I get up, go to the loo switch my pj bottoms for jogging bottoms and pull a sweatshirt over my head that's it, if I'm short on time. I have no idea how anyone doesn't have the time for that.

God if we're going to start objecting to threads in general because someone has an opinion, whats the point. Most things on MN are none of anyones bloody business Hmm

WearingLessThanBoden · 23/09/2011 09:51

i've already confessed to still being in PJs though!

and stop cheating, Mona this isn't AIBUlite you know Grin

twolittlemonkeys · 23/09/2011 09:54

M0naLisa, you don't live in Leics do you? I saw a mum doing the school run in black and white polka dot pyjamas this morning - didn't have a chance to look at her footwear as I drove past but was a bit Shock because it's the first time I've seen a mum on the school run dressed like this, though I have seen plenty of women in the supermarket in PJs and ugg-style slippers before.

Ach well....I shall leave you gaggle of hens burbling and squawking, and pecking and scratching around, with your feathers all ruffled. Flap flap flap.

Am I the only one spotting the irony here....? :o

Sorry Constance the judgey bit wasn't referring to you at all, I know it seemed that way

I find it quite funny that the judgeypants people are getting annoyed that other people are judging them for their opinion. Basically they're saying, we're allowed to judge others for what they wear but you're not allowed to judge us for what we think. Em double standards much?

baguettecut · 23/09/2011 10:01

If you do as you wish, pictish, outside the norm, without caring what others think of you then you should aslo have the good grace to accept that they may have an opinion. They're not wrong, ya know! It's you who's normalising something that's only been happening recently, folk will always have something to say about it & not only on here.

baguettecut · 23/09/2011 10:02

Cailin, I refer to my 'normalising' comments.

CailinDana · 23/09/2011 10:02

Mona you were saying that people who don't agree with you should just get off the thread and do their own thing. Why don't you give the same courtesy for mums in PJs - just leave them alone and stop judging them, do your own thing?

Quenelle · 23/09/2011 10:02

Attention seekers.

Bogeyface · 23/09/2011 10:02

I am not saying that at all Cailin, I just find it amusing that one set of self confessed judgey-pants are being had a go at by people who refuse to accept that they themselves are also being vv judgey!

M0naLisa · 23/09/2011 10:03

TUT.

Its LAZY pure and simple laziness.

So if your son (if you have one) came home complaining that everyone was looking at him and commenting on him wearing ballet gear would you say "Oh well son, it's not the norm, you'll have to accept being judged" or would you say "They're small minded idiots son, don't mind them, wear what you like"?
