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?

Lol. I dont go to bet Fred, the corals got much better odds and oi fuck wit is no substitute for cere ya wee bawsack but hey stop being so Fucking precious. And op - stop caring Wtf other folk think

Our local tesco banned the dirty scallies from shopping in there pj's. By mine it tends to be late teen, early 20's mouthy girls who walk round with primark pj's, fake uggs, and their hair in one of those awful britney spears style messy pony tails where their hair looks like a filthy birdsnest piled right on the top of their head and not brushed.

It is disgusting not bloody trendy.

Skanky.

Why would anyone choose to embarrass their children by looking like a scruffy lazy twat who can't be arsed dressing or washing in the morning?

chav. or even 'lazy chav', the very worst.

I sleep naked.....

I WFH - I spend most mornings in front of my laptop, wearing pyjamas. I readily answer the door dressed that way. But DS is 16 now, when I took him to school I threw on clothes before we got in the car. No idea why you'd choose to put pjs on to do the school run, it's just as easy to put on more usual outdoor clothes surely?

I bet you don't have a clean pair of PJs for the school run hanging up in your wardrobe though, Fatmomma.

I don't see what professionalism has to do with the school run.

Going in out in your PJs DOES make you look demented, though...

My thoughts, FWIW (not much, I don't doubt):

• The abbreviation 'PJs' is very cringy. When did it become so ubiquitous?
• 'Unprofessional' is a very strange word to use about it (last time I checked, the school run wasn't my job and I didn't get paid for it), but going out in public in nightwear is unnecessary and odd. It would feel all wrong to me. And I think it's somehow disrespectful to anyone you encounter/interact with on the way.

Skanky. Especially with fake uggs and a big plastic handbag.

Tbh, I wouldn't allow myself or my family to hang around the house in pyjamas all day either, even if we weren't going out at all (which is very rare) - sometimes we laze around for most of the morning in our nightwear but are dressed by lunchtime at the very latest. Exception for illness, obviously.

I'm sure this post is a complete wind up

But if I saw anyone at school drop off in their PJs I would presume they have mental health issues or are an alcoholic.

I would never presume they were Ill because there are plenty of people to ask to take them in for you.

I've done school run in pjs, but did not get out of the car (slept in, running late). Dropped dd at the "kiss and run". Pretty sure nobody saw me!

I did put a jumper on over the pjs so it was harder to tell I was in pjs though!

I wouldnt actually walk into school in pyjamas. I've drawn my line!

YANBU.

It's nobody's business but your own what you wear, and it is still a free country.

Anyone judging books by their cover should desist.

I've actually gotten compliments on my pajama pants.

You do realise they were probably being ironic don't you?

Not necessarily ironic, partial. I imagine PJ wearer says something nice, other person thinks, what do I say- shit she hasn't washed and is in PJs, aaargh- oh I know: "I like the Garfields on your pajama bottoms."

Why such a big issue? I've been down the pub the night n am half smashed. Went up farm to do mine n dds n dhs horses in a tottie wee lips dress n wellies. The guy in doing the bailing had a good look but do I give a fuck? No. Not in the slightest

I've never seen someone out and about in public in PJs. I'm not in the UK, though. Do these people have shoes on, or slippers? Dressing gown?

If I did, I would assume they were on day release and just didn't understand social norms.

Grim. Just have a shower and get dressed FFS, or accept that people will judge you.

Not necessarily ironic, partial.

I am guessing from the spelling of that post that they don't come from near me. (eg gotten, pajama and pants)

So all is fine, I have gotten my judgey pants and put them back with my pajama

I've actually gotten compliments on my pajama pants.

What, as in 'nice pants'. It's called taking the piss.

I would never presume they were Ill because there are plenty of people to ask to take them in for you.

So many parts of this thread are bullshit mental. This comment however is ridiculous. Just because you might have a decent support system, doesn't mean everyone does. I've been really ill this week and between sleeping, vomiting and shit, I've still had to do the school run.
?

I live in an apartment block and I won't even go to the rubbish chute about 200m down the hall in my pjs, never mind out-out.

This always strikes me as a spectacularly British thing to get het up about.

All you YABU-ers are nuts.
