to let my dd go to school in her pj's?

[slightlymentalmum2one]

It's her disco tomorrow so they are allowed to wear their own clothes and she desperately wants to wear her all in one PC's to school. I've tried to convince her otherwise but she's having none of it. Should I just let her? Ifit makes a difference she is 7

I'd let her go in any dressing up outfit she wanted its just the idea of wearing pj's outside I can't get my head around.

Luckily my friend saved the day driving over at one o'clock this morning with a onsie playsuit. I just suggested to dd that a fleece onsie might be too hot for the sunny weather and she finally agreed.

As for saying no to dd I do quite often if it's not practical or suitable but this wasn't an unreasonable request so it was harder. I'm proud my dd wants to be an individual and I try to support that when it's suitable

Mine are sixteen. Onesies are the 'in' thing at the moment, they even wear them shopping! Let her, she won't be the only one.

Wow, what a fantastic friend!!

Hope DD enjoys her disco :)

ps: I wear PJs outside. They're called "lounge suits". I also have outdoor PJ bottoms called "dance pants" and some linen ones, called "deck pants".

Why is it 'chavvy' for gods sake? Agree or disagree but little kids who fancy wearing pjs are not 'chavvy' that just IS really snobby.

dawndonna where might these adult size onesies be purchased? Can you ask your daughter? I'd love some!

WhosPickleisThatOnion Primark, they're a tenner!! Bargain!

Beat me to it, Mamma!

OP, YABU for having sunny weather!

WhoPickle Mamma is right, they're a tenner in Primark.
I kid you not, loads of teenagers wear them everywhere now, it is not considered chavvy because they don't consider them to be pjs.

I've always wanted one, at 37 and pregnant I probably won't venture to a disco in one though!

No, just no.Horrible.
She has seen teenagers wearing them and wants to be all grown up.

boney I think at 37, Whopickle can try to be grown up!

Awwwwww! I wanna be a grown up

made me laugh you 2

Actually I just want to loll around like a massive baby! That's the appeal!!

I have seen fully-grown (late teens?) people in shops wearing onesies.

For people saying 'she is 7 ffs'

At 7 you should be learning certain things

1. right from wrong
2. times tables
3. appropriate clothing for appropriate times!

Pjs are for bed. They are not 'cool' to wear out and about. I have never seen a teenager in a onsie except for charity fundraising!

And not to judge people by what they wear? That's an important thing to learn.

And the fact that the only thing that makes pajamas, well, pajamas, is the label on the packaging? They are clothes

Valid point WhosPickle

I'm not, personally, keen on onesies. They look ridiculous. Especially on adults. But for all that, who amongst us has not looked ridiculous occasionally? I'm a great believer in letting children express their individuality with clothes - within reasonable guidelines since going out in the snow in your bathing costume is unlikely to be sensible. If the OP's dd does go to this disco in onesies and discovers that it wasn't the best of choices then she might be more discerning in future. Or she might just grow up to be gloriously eccentric. Which isn't a bad thing either.

I remember the summer that ds2 spent wearing neon coloured long shorts, a bandanna on his head and bright green sun block on his nose. This latter in tribute to the touring Australian cricket team. He did, in fact, look ridiculous. But he grew up to be remarkably stylish.

It sounds like the playsuit onesie is a great compromise too.
