To expect people to be dressed if they've invited people round

[Exileinengland1999]

Just that really- got invited round for Xmas drinks at some friends at 4pm and they were in their pjs and stayed like that for a 2 hour visit - Aibu to feel uncomfortable with the extreme casual-ness of it all. Even my kids asked why they were in their pjs

Me personally am never out of loungewear unless I leave the house. But if I had people coming I'd put on a "normal" top and leggings, but might still wear my housecoat over the top to be snuggly ☺ xx

This is one of the pictures that turns up when googling vaping jacket. How does this work??
One should vape using the hoody?

Ok, accepted, hugh heffner could be a bad example. How about Brad pitt? totally disregards this being a movie clip and imagines real life scenario

We went to visit a friend today, around 11.30. She was in her pyjamas still, because she'd had a rough night. I was slightly surprised, but we're quite close and informal, so it didn't bother me!

I dont know 1horatio but I feel I must now purchase this item to be sure!

Googling 'hot men in pyjamas' oh my!!!

Hot women in pyjamas doesn't lead to similarly attractive results. Interesting;)!!

I'm guilty of wearing nightwear as daywear when it's freezing, as now. But would manage to change if I'd invited people over. Maybe if it were a close friend for a cuppa, I wouldn't bother.

And if it's good enough for her maj...

I think this is selfish. 'I'm in my own home so I can dress in pyjamas'... well not if it makes your invited guests feel uncomfortable.

It smacks of arrogance in this scenario.

And I've been dressed in pyjamas since 4pm. No visitors expected; large knickers, but no bra .

I agree with Squiffy - do people just stay in the same pjs they slept in? Surely really unhygienic???

Do not google "kinky pyjamas" I made that mistake earlier. There were definitely no pyjamas. Boak.

cat's bath. I thought my mum invented this expression (and then foisted it upon me)!

I fondly recall my ex's horror when I announced once that I was getting up to have a 'cat's bath' and he genuinely thought that I was about to lick myself all over...

Yes sorry I totally agree with the OP. Although its probably because I hate sitting around in PJ's at home myself and didn't even do it with newborn babies. I just feel uncomfortable wearing bed clothes during the day. You can just as easily buy comfortable tracksuit bottoms (or similar) for lounging around the house. Obviously I agree you can wear what you want in your own home but, where do you draw the line if you've invited guests round? Personally if I invite guests over I want them to feel comfortable!!

God,I would be embarrassed if someone caught me lounging around in my joggers. I answered the door to a delivery driver in my dressing gown at 10am last week and nearly died of
Shame. Thought it was my husband forgotten his key again.....

ItShould

In my case that a literal translation of 'Katzewösch/Katzenwäsche'...

Your boyfriend thinking you'd lick yourself all over 😂
DH had a similar reaction when I first said it. And then said that he thought that's called a 'w's bath'...

what is a "cats bath"? Do we need a new thread?

MajorieSimpson - what exactly is a 'sleep bra?'
Is it a normal bra, but one sleeps in it? Or is it a whole different thing? And how have I slept all these years without wearing one? And what about all those little day time snoozes in my 'day bra'??

I agree with Squiffy - do people just stay in the same pjs they slept in? Surely really unhygienic???"
Erm...yes they do, probably, and yes it is. However, judging by the display of slightly irritated "merriment"apparent in recent posts, I think they are not so sure about anything anymore.

Lovely!

A cat's bath is apparently a w's bath (are we allowed to swear on mumsnet? I've been using it for quite some time. I really should know....)

I personally am actually quite... negatively surprised that, according to this thread, many users go to bed without showering?

If yes... do you change your sheets every morning? Seeing as they've soaked up all the dirt accumulated during the day? And you only use your Pyjamas once, right?

Really close friends I would stay in pjs. Anyone else I would get dressed for

Negatively surprised? Loving it...

Cara

Yes. Doesn't that phrasing work in English? 'Negativ überrascht' = negatively surprised? An unpleasant surprise?
