To wonder why people leave the house in pj's?

[Fixitagaintomorrow]

Now I'm not being judgemental, I think people can wear whatever the hell they want, but there is something that's been niggling me.

DD attends a nursery located round the back of the local primary school. On our way there I see all the kids being dropped off and by the time I've got her to the nursery, said goodbye and walked back round to the front of the school I see the stragglers coming in late. It's always the same 5 women and they're always in pj's. However, I have noticed something about the pj's, they always look clean and not slept in, I.e no creases. All 5 of them! Since then I have noticed it in other places too, the women that go to the corner shop and Asda etc in their pj's are the same.

So my question is this, do these women actually go to the effort of changing out of their dirty pj's and put fresh pj's on to leave the house? And if so, WHY?!

Oh I definitely judge people who go out in their sleepwear.

There's no excuse for wearing pjs in public during the daytime. It's lack of self respect and lack of respect for those who have to look at you. I judge them as lazy, disrespectful, dirty and stupid.

I've never seen an elderly person with severe mobility issues and who looks to be in pain without clothes on, if they can get dressed, anyone can. It takes a minute for someone who's not disabled by age/illness to change into clothes. No excuse.

What bluebell said.

I think that's a bit harsh.

I've once gone to meadow hall in pj's

Because I would be arrested if I went out with bits on show.

YANBU. I can be a bit lazy but it doesn't take great effort to slip of PJs and slip on trackie bottoms.

I agree with Bluebell. Anyone who goes out in pyjamas or a nightie / dressing gown has no pride in themselves or their family. They are letting their families down as well.

And Amilionmilesaway who mention cleanliness. Makes you wonder if they wash their hands after using the toilet .....

Nobody goes to waitrose in them...

I don't understand the pj wearing outdoors. get called out on it all the time but it just screams "I couldnt be arsed" to me.

I often pop out to the car or take the bins out in my onesie. I don't wear it in bed, but it's habit to get changed when I put DD to bed (so I could feed her, I stopped wearing nursing bras in the day). So after about 7pm I'm in my onesie and not getting changed just to pop out to the car- even if I have to cross the road to get to it.

I have also been known to go out in my onesie in the day- but only when I'm ill as it means anything with a waistband is agony, and I don't have to worry about flashing like I would with a dress- and only to my parents' house, not anywhere in public!

No need for the nastiness around those that go out in their night clothes. You have no idea what is going on in their lives that they have got to the point where they choose to do this.

This seems to be a really recent thing as well. I don't remember it at all from pre-2010ish?

A bad example is being set by these parents. Maybe the school could make a point of expressing disapproval.

Another pjs outside thread?!

Well pre 2010 I worked nights. Sometimes, I had to go a straight 18 hours before sleeping. So I'd get home at 7:30am, shower and wake ds. I simply couldn't face jeans and a t shirt when exhausted, so would stick clean pjs make ds breakfast wash him etc, then walk him to school in my nice clean pjs and uggs or flip flops and a hoody over the lot.

Then straight home and into bed.

My mum used to live in the middle of nowhere in NI and would just stick a coat on over her jammies to walk the dogs. One day she came across an army patrol, didn't bother her, exchanged pleasantries. Got home and realised shed forgotten to put on any jammy bottoms...

Oh and I never wash, regularly shove my fingers up my arse and am a shit parent.

I've been out in public once in my dressing gown and never again. It was 6.45 am after 51 hours of labour I was being transferred to a different hospital. It took enough effort to get my dressing gown on let alone anything else (thank got it was only 1 hour later ds was born)
The first thing I do when I get in from work and know I'm not going out is put my pj's on, I also love cleaning the house in them but I just think it's so lazy to wear them out and about!

When I had my gallbladder out last month the only comfortable clothing was my PJ bottoms. I admit to going out in them and to be honest, I didn't care what people thought - I was comfortable and that was all that mattered!

(They are plain blue and look like yoga pants though!)

Good for you to not be judgemental, I am judgemental as fuck.

I sometimes put out the bin in my dressing gown. DH once went to a party next door in his pyjamas - he had had surgery to his knee earlier, planned to stay at home but changed his mind, I was already there & he came as he was in checked PJ bottoms & a tee shirt.

I fancy doing it, just for the thrill.

I have been a good girl all my life. Adolescent rebellion peaked at refusing to eat my potato skins. Admittedly, this induced the same apoplectic rage in my father that shagging the entire school football team would have had on other fathers.

Wearing PJs out and out about feels like my CHANCE.

I have yet to see people wearing PJs in Waitrose, but see lots in Asda. Wonder why.

Losing- you know exactly why. And it isn't very nice.
