There was a thread a while back about putting pj's on when you get home or early evening. One poster thought it was disrespectful to her husband and children, that it would seem like she didn't value her time with them. I never understood that one.

Lying in front of roaring fire, looking at recipe books. Heaven

In fact, the only thing better than putting your pyjamas on, is taking off your bra..

No problems with PJs in the comfort of your own home, whatever the time.

Why can't they make proper day clothes to be as comfortable?!

I believe the correct term is 'Comfies'.

It's just occurred to me, that this is the first MN thread I've read, where everyone is in agreement. Come on! There must be someone out there, that thinks we are letting our Dps down... Grin

Today is my rest day (doing lean in 15) so just getting mine on now!
I used to have really scraggy ones but recently chucked them all. My new ones say "will wake up for champagne and croissants" on the front. And I got a new dressing gown with hearts on. Best purchases of 2016 Grin

Pfft amateur. I never took mine off Grin

Hula they do - my DH and older kids all have slobbing out trousers which they all refer to as "apartment pants" (named after something from an old episode of Friends)... OK that's a bit sad isn't it... :o

Your house so you can do what you want but I think it's awful and I'd have to be very, very ill to not be dressed in proper clothes (no tracksuit pants don't count) during the day.
There you go OP, one dissenting voice!

Mine have been on since bath at 2pm (after a busy morning outside/cleaning car/shopping).

I don't think there is anything wrong with putting your pyjamas on, but wonder if that means you stop answering the door... obviously if your DH is in that isn't relevant in this case, but not being able to answer the door in the middle of the day, or having to answer it in PJs, would make me twitchy... My kdis also have kids in the house most of the time and I wouldn't wear them with kids' friends in the house, nor would I want to say they couldn't have friends in because I was in PJs...

Its not by any means an ideological objection :o But I couldn't wear PJs in the day if not ill or having recently had a new baby, because it would mean shutting the world out, which I don't think you can or should do when you have older kids... If my kids were out I'm sort of on alert incase I get a call to get them (partly because DD became very ill while at school recently and ended up admitted to hospital on drips within an hour and a half of school calling me - while I was at work - to pick her up). However I know other people don't live in areas where kids are in and out of each others houses or neighbours knock etc. so I suppose it wouldn't apply... and I guess if there was an emergency it only takes seconds to pull on jeans and a jumper.
