Just that really... Not having an examination so won't need to unzip it Grin

It was a sponsored dare as I'm about the last person you would ever expect to see wearing a onesie outdoors. It was hideously attention-seeky which I loathe and itchy Grin

I did it! No one batted an eye lid. Think my 18 month old ds having a tantrum because I stopped him trying to stand on the waiting room chairs stole any limelight!

However when I was asked to do a urine sample the hood on the dam thing nearly dropped down the toilet!

In my humble opinion YABU to even own one but hey ho...

Well, respect, OP Grin
DD2 lives in them at home and has made noises about wearing them out. She has a huge selection including some japanese kigurimi ones. I think they are definitely on the up and eventually we won't bat an eyelid over them.
But for now I've said "no, you're not going out in that".
I sound like my father, except that he was moaning about my very short shorts. I really should be grateful!

Maybe the onesie should be the outfit of choice for committing "mumsnet" sins. You know... Wearing them to park in parent and child parking spaces without your child in the car.... Hogging a table in a cafe while someone else waits in the queue for food... Applying make up in a train in front of other passengers. All in a onesie for maximum annoyance.

Yes. YABU. HTH

Haha perhaps I should let DD2 wear hers on a trip to Greggs, then. As she's 13 (and I read on mumsnet that 12 was too old) I could top the trip off by parking in a parent and child space with her Grin

It just smacks of:

'I have no self respect and more importantly no respect for the person that you are going to visit.'

It is not wacky, it is just rude.

YAB a bit U to want to wear it out of the house. The other day on facebook, I saw a girl had had a onesie dress -party- and everyone turned up wearing the things, some regular, some with animal themed ears and tails etc. Which is a perfectly fine concept for a party for toddlers but these people are in their late twenties! And the animal theme just made it look alarmingly similar to a furry party.

That being said, a lot of people find them whimsical so you may as well if you don't care about people staring and you're comfy. Doctors have probably seen a lot weirder.
