Called "unprofessional" for doing the school run in PJs

[Pollyisnthere]

Snide comment from someone else. Wtf should i wear for a professional school drop off? I do live in my PJs and love it while I'm not working. Often have two pairs a day so its not dirty. Aibu to do this?

PJ's are for in the house so if you're going out then of course you should get changed.
Not unprofessional just a bit lazy.

insanity yeah, I would never spend that much time or attention dressing myself. If I had that much time, I'd be doing other things with it! Still, would be a dull world if we were all the same etc etc.

My kids would be mortified. That is all.

I would say slobbish, not unprofessional.

I'm amazed by the degree to which people are bothered by this.

How on earth do you find it in you to care if someone wears their PJs on the school run.

Wear a sack, OP; wear a bikini; wear a stick-on beard. just make sure you never wear anything a bit white to a wedding or MN will crush you. Just ignore the haters

I'm amazed that people think wearing pyjamas in public is anything other than very weird!

A tottie wee lipsy dress. Meaning one that's skintight and barely covers my arse. I am hungover this morning after last night's pub celebrations and have been down the shop in my Jim jams and housecoat and lastnight make up. For the record I passed out in my dress and hubby couldn't be bothered to take it off so the Jim jams are clean

Nah, I'm judging alright. Smelly fuckers.

Well, while we're judging... 20 quid the people who get uptight about these things iron duvets and knickers, have a plug-in nausea-inducing Glade air freshener in every room and cubes spelling out "HOME" and "LOVE" scattered hither and yon.

Can you sleep in leggings and top, then you can go night to day and noone even knows.

Absolutely not unprofessional if its not related to your work. It is, however, slatternly, lazy, common, and indicative of a lack of self respect and lack of respect for your children. Why would you shame them like that?

0/3 panda. Keep trying though!

0/3 for me as well

My reoccurring nightmare was me going back to school/ or on the way to work and being dressed in an old night gown that gets more ragged on the way and I realise more and more how inappropriate it is to be wearing it

panda, 0/3 for me too. In fact, I'm sure a lot of the daytime pyjama wearing crowd are the ones with the Glade air fresheners.

(I actually don't iron anything, and have been known to pop out to the bin in my dressing gown, but to go to school in pyjamas. No way!)

panda, £20 on most pyjama school runners not having washed, brushed their teeth or put on fresh pyjamas.

panda

£20 (oh, OK, £2) says you lot were mostly pretty shirty about Corbyn not singing about god saving the queen...?

I've just realised this is my first MN bunfight. I'm sorry, I just feel very strongly about people who feel very strongly about other peoples pajamas!*

0/3 panda, and couldn't give a monkeys about Corbyn either.

It's not exactly that I care, it's just that I can't imagine how you'd think it was a good idea. I think it's a regional thing not a class/money thing - DCs' primary has Pupil Premium levels twice the national average, hence an unusually deprived intake, but we've seen 1 school run parent in pjs in 9 years, which my back of the envelope calculations makes about 1 in a quarter of a million. Mind you, nobody drives their DC to school here.

Come and live near me. Loads of us nip out in pjs. Our local asda is full of women in pjs/and onsies, and on a Friday and Saturday evening people are often out in curlers before going home to get ready for a big night out. Can you guess where I live?

And imo YaNbu to drop of in pjs, and to say it's unprofessional is just silly

I do love a glade plug-in though!

I'm judging I know (rightly or wrongly!)...I just think it's a bit common, chavvy and lazy. C'mon there's no real need is there, I can if needed wash my face (and bits) and pull on clean underwear, jeans and a top and be ready to walk to school in less than five minutes if needed (oh and clean my teeth).

Liverpool by any chance Paula?

Yes! Anyone it is. for you

So what if it's common. I'm common, I don't mind admitting it and I don't have delusions of grandeur. But hell judge away, just know none of us mere commoners give a fuck about your opinion it. Ps posting this from the park in a onsie

Course you do - your tone screams how much you care.

Over and out.
