Mine are in pj shorts and no top (apart from dd1 who has a crop top and shorts on). It is far too hot an ds2 is like an overheated radiator in winter so this weather is really not good for him!

usualsuspect · 07/07/2013 21:13

Why are you evil?

Surely it's what everyone does when it's hot.

BridgetBidet · 07/07/2013 21:13

Em, they might be more comfortable with something on. Is it very hot where you are tonight? Not evil, no. A bit lazy maybe. It won't do them any harm. Have you asked them if they want to wear bedclothes or not? If they happier without then I can't see the harm.

My dd's 8 & 6 have now completely stripped off! My ds's 4 & 3 and dd 1 are just in nappies. They are happy and asleep so I'm happy too.

Why do you say evil though? Are you feeling a bit down or being critical of your own mothering at the moment? I would certainly worry about someone who thought such a thing was 'evil'. I think you need to give yourself a bit of a break, of course it's not anything approaching evil.

wonderingsoul · 07/07/2013 21:16

both of mine sweat like a really sweaty thing, even in winter.

ds1 just has legging on, ds2 has short and a top. they have to sleep under the duvet but once they are asleep i go and pull it down half way because i think their over heat by morning.

i did have the windos open but the breeze blew our fish tank over que.. manic kids and a fish that i saved in time but now has a scar, hopfully he'll survive the night.

usualsuspect · 07/07/2013 21:17

It's not lazy, don't be so ridiculous.

IneedAyoniNickname · 07/07/2013 21:17

Mine refuse to sleep naked, but they only have short bottoms on. I had to prise ds2s fleece blanket off him,he claims he's cold

pollywollydoodle · 07/07/2013 21:17

Confused dd is in the buff and i will be too...it's too hot for anything else

why are you evil, did they want nightclothes on and you refused Hmm

monkeyfacegrace · 07/07/2013 21:18

What?
Mine are naked every night.
Its too bloody hot for clothes.
You bunch of nutters.

NoelHeadbands · 07/07/2013 21:19

Fleece onesies would have been evil.

BridgetBidet · 07/07/2013 21:19

Devonshiredumpling, it's hot and they were happy so of course you were not even the remotest bit U let alone evil.

ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll · 07/07/2013 21:21

The 3 year old is wearing just underpants.

He is going through a phase of wanting to only wear underwear and a tshirt

bittenipples · 07/07/2013 21:21

I'm not understanding the evilness of it either.

I need to know why this is evil?

NoelHeadbands · 07/07/2013 21:22

I might send DS2 without his school sweatshirt on tomorrow.

I'm such a nasty bastard

usualsuspect · 07/07/2013 21:24

Bloody hell,Noel.

That's worthy of a call to SS.

Tweasels · 07/07/2013 21:27

Surely making your children go to bed wearing two pairs of fleece pyjamas and a winter coat would be evil.

Naked is just sensible considering the weather.

DD,s gro egg has a sad face so she's just in a nappy.

Towanda · 07/07/2013 21:28

Mine are in undies and knickers, too hot for anything else. Definitely not evil.

HaroldLloyd · 07/07/2013 21:28

I have to say I was expecting something a touch more outrageous when I opened this thread.

My 13.5 month old is in just a nappy and then her 1 tog sleeping bag. Her room is 27 and that's with a fan blowing.

LEMisdisappointed · 07/07/2013 21:30

well my DD is 7 and she has her primark fleecy pjs on - she is a strange child!

OHforDUCKScake · 07/07/2013 21:32

Evil no.

Odd for starting this thread? Yes. Hmm

LouiseSmith · 07/07/2013 21:32

My 3yr old has gone to bed in pants and a vest! To hot for anything else.
