to not have pjs for DS?

[pimsandlemonade]

I recently saw a reference to an old thread about a mum who put the kids to ben in next day clothes and it was thought of as weird to say the least.
So I've been thinking if I'm weird too
DS 3.5 doesn't own any pyjamas, in the evening he has his bath then puts on clean underwear and t shirt and goes to bed. Then in the morning there is no need to change, just add some shorts or trousers and he's ready to go.
I never thought of it as odd, is it? Am i depriving him of something?

and to me the "night" clothes are still clean in the morning

How are clothes still clean when you have had them on for 8/10 hours?

Mine don't have clean PJs every night, but they bathe before bed and do wear fresh clothes in the morning. That's just a bit skanky and really a bad habit to get into - you don't go out of the house in the clothes you have slept in all night.

T-shirt and pants is fine to sleep in (although I would suggest something looser fitting on the bottom half), wearing it the following day is not.

Clean pjs or onesie every night and clean clothes or uniform everyday, plus a wash or a bath every night and morning. Surely thats just taking very basic care of them?

You keep saying really? Yes really.

Do you sleep in your clothes?

Would be good to know op's background, maybe what she's doing is already a huge step up?

Doesn't make it right but at least she's asking the question and will hopefully take the advice on board

There's. no need for specific jammies. Dds sometimes sleep in.old leggins or cycling shirts amd a vest or just pants.

but not changing your kids underwear is disgusting.

as is going out in clothes they have slept in. why would you do that

Wtf? Sorry that's just being lazy, and shameful as well. Poor kid buy him some pjs.

I think that is a terrible habit to get into. Actually find it quite shocking.

Unlikely to become habit if she hardly does it. Mostly its pjs or if she gets hot, just her knickers.

We go the other direction - go to bed in (a reduced number) of the clothes they wore that day if they are suitable (generally do swap out trousers for example - you can't sleep in jeans), and only if their fairly clean still (I don't want to make more washing by making sheets dirtier)

Always put on clean clothes the next day though.

Clean clothes in the morning and PJ's before bed.... I just thought that was the done thing. Surely OP you don't get changed before bed, sleep in your clothes and then go out the next day in those clothes?

Clean pjs or onesie every night and clean clothes or uniform everyday, plus a wash or a bath every night and morning. Surely thats just taking very basic care of them?

A wash or a bath every night and morning! No more than hands and faces here, and a bath/shower a couple of times a week - their skin would be a scaly nightmare if I bathed them every day!

We'd re-cycle pjs too if they hadn't got breakfast all over them - what are they doing in their sleep to get them dirty?

See I seeping to bed in the clothes you had on through the day just as bad,it's manky

I'd never wear what I'd slept in regardless of what it is . That's the equivalent of going out in your pyjamas. Just why would you?

Clean clothes every morning especially underwear. Clean pyjamas 3 times a week. I don't think I have very high standards generally but not getting a child changed in the morning is quite neglectful and not teaching them self care.

My ds stopped wearing pj's at six, he wears clean underwear to bed then in the morning has a wash and puts clean underwear and clothes on. My daughter wears pyjamas for a couple of nights, she puts clean underwear and clothes on in the morning when she washes. Both children have onesies and cosy dressing gowns. I would maybe wear the t shirt and fold and put under his pillow for the next night and then wash your ds and put clean underwear and clothes on. As others have said it is good practise for preventing threadworms to wash their bottom / privates and put fresh underwear on in the morning. Obviously also washing hands, face etc and brushing teeth as part of this routine. I don't shower my children every night, so washing at bedtime and in the morning is important .

I am generally towards the lower end on Mumsnet when it comes to things like this, but I wouldn't dream of letting my children sleep in something they had worn in the day, or keep wearing something they had slept in during the daytime.
It's actually pretty irrational, because I am happy for them to wear their PJs for several nights in a row , or to wear a t shirt for a second day running.
But there is just something a bit grubby about not getting changed for the day.

I think. It's slightly odd if he keeps on his bedtime tshirt. Why not just keep the tshirt in his bed as you would pjs?

My DS doesn't wear pjs due to sensory issues and instead wears clean boxers. That's it. Just boxers....winter and summer. He has pjs if he gets up on a Saturday morning before getting dressed but never sleeps in them.

We just make sure he has a couple of fleece blankets over his duvet and a hot water bottle if it's really cold. He is fine without pjs.

Teeth, bath/shower, story, bed, clean clothes, teeth and face in the morning is an excellent routine to get into.

Pants and tshirt is fine to sleep in but fresh clothes every morning, otherwise he'll smell a bit stale instead of lovely clean boy smell.

We go the other direction - go to bed in (a reduced number) of the clothes they wore that day if they are suitable

I think the fact they've been worn all day would render them unsuitable for bed. Going to bed in clothes that have been worn all day is quite frankly lazy and unhygienic.

Asked and answered, i think i got my answer loud and clear!
However some people could come down their high horse if your kids wear day clothes to bed of wear same pjs for several nights - how on earth is that better and acceptable.

I actually have a high sense of personal (and otherwise) hygiene believe it or not.
Either way im online buying some pjs now...

Would you not be embarrassed if someone makes a comment to DS about liking the top he has on and he turns around and says yeah I wore it to sleep in last night too!? Is it just a case of not much spare money so he only has a handful of pants and clothes?

I think it's the pants that are the main issue really- a clean pair for bed then clean pair in the morning is fine. My son gets really not and sweaty at night so wouldn't like him to wear the same t-shirt the next day.

YABU.

Jammies worn for 2 nights here, I'm the same. If they need a bath/shower more frequently than every other night (ie in summer with suncream or get mucky at beach etc) then new jammies for after bath. New underwear at least every morning, always after bath/shower too.

Of course you're not a crap mum. As a parent you tend to do what you were taught from your own parents. Did you do that as a child?

Good to have pjs anyway for when he's at school, in case he's invited to a sleepover or the ever popular pyjama day at school.

He'd probably be thrilled to get some Spider-Man* ones.
*insert favourite tv character.

Bloody hell, that's seriously disgusting OP!

We all have clean pyjamas every night, or the kids wear clean boxers. Always have, always will.

It's the going out in clothes you've slept in - they must smell musty or just not fresh

This has be a wind up no pj's for your child not good
