AIBU to be so fed up and confused on pyjama issue

AIBU to be serverly annoyed with all the judgements on pyjama wearers?

Can someone explain to me what the big deal over wearing pyjamas is? I don't understand. I shower daily, I wash my clothes if they are used/unclean. When I get up I get dressed go about my day, come home and shower and put pyjama pants on until I get into bed. I take them off before bed as I only sleep in my underwear. If I don't have anything to do in the day I'll wake up and put the pyjama pants on because they are comfortable and warm. If I then realise I have to go out and make a run to the store I'll just go like this as I usually have my children (4m and 2y) with me and if not I'm trying to do the shop as fast as I can to get back to them as my DH is not the best with small children and often gets flustered. I am not choosing to wear them out of laziness, I choose to wear them out of comfort. They are clean, I am clean. Nothing inappropriate is exposed. So I don't understand how it is hurting anybody. I don't think it's fair to sit and judge people who chose to wear pyjamas and be comfortable and I don't understand why people are so offended by this?
I'm sure there are a few people that do wear them because they are lazy and slobbish but I don't think it's fair to judge all people that wear them this way.

Tbh if you're a normal person then wearing pjs instead of actual clothes is just attention seeking. Obviously you will be judged, you know that, so you can only be doing it out of bone idleness or to seek attention.

TheMrsD · 08/01/2017 21:24

And going to the lengths of finding links for pyjamas! This is hilarious.

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:24

@verybitchy bringing up someone's personal life into something that has nothing to do with it is really rude and messed up.

I feel rather sad for you.how patronising.*

Well, I can see how it could be read that way. I should have put "for your situation".

Boogers · 08/01/2017 21:25

mummyof2pr I'm guessing very has just done exactly as I have done. Your problem is not with pyjamas as outerwear.

FizzBombBathTime · 08/01/2017 21:25

Bitchy she didn't ask an aibu about her husband here though did she? So why do you keep going on about it?

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:25

@verybitchy not just addressing you but the 3 of you that have brought it up. This could have been messaged privately.

Wear what you like op. I've worn my pjs all day. Been cleaning, bulk cooking and mending.

I'll put a clean pair on at bedtime 😄

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 08/01/2017 21:25

I will, forever, judge someone as lazy and unkempt for going to the supermarket /bus stop /anywhere in their pyjamas

Yes, me too.

And the OP can start as many threads as she wants- she has no right to demand anyone thinks otherwise.

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:25

@boogers so because I'm having another issue I can't feel annoyed about this one? Didn't realise that.

OP posts:
mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:26

@lass honestly stop commenting. We get how you feel. I'm not demanding anyone feel differently. I was asking for explanations that didn't consist of the same judgements again and again.

Honestly OP, if you feel that strongly about it all, continue to wear your pj's where-ever you wish. As is clear from this thread, most people who see you will consider it slovenly and unhygienic and as long as that doesn't bother you, work away.

FizzBombBathTime · 08/01/2017 21:26

mummy ignore the husband crap. Bad form of others to bring it up.

Stingray2008 · 08/01/2017 21:27

When i first saw someone out in pjs i thought they had just got out of hospital or something. Ive since seen more about and at my childrens school parents where told that they had to get dressed for drop off and pick up as it sets a bad example. It had got to the point people where tirning up with pjs dressing gowns and unbrushed hair. It just looks lazy.

The only time i keep them on during the day is if im ill and even if im staying in i get changed as i just feel dirty and lazy if i dont so guess i associate that feeling when i see people walking about in them.

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:27

@fizz trying to! It just again shows negatively on them!

I didn't do that. You introduced the issue of your not being able to leave your kids with your husband in order to get dressed into this thread. And then tried to backtrack.

And someone else (not me) linked to another thread in which you describe abusive behaviour.

BravoPanda · 08/01/2017 21:28

I don't need to try again, OP. That's the exact reason. You look like a lazy, classless muppet and in turn you make the area look the same. Postcodes and property values are important to us over here and most wouldn't want to be associated with a lazy arse who can't be buggered to put on a pair of actual pants.

@verybitchg I did not try to backtrack. I was talking about two separate situations which many others read and understood.
And yes but you had to continue talking about it. Unkind. Especially if you "feel sad for me".

Shit strike through fail Blush

FizzBombBathTime · 08/01/2017 21:29

Fair play stingray, someone managing to give an opinion without being a nasty twat. What a revelation!

I second the personal feeling of being dirty if I haven't changed out of night clothes (although I still wouldn't judge someone else for wearing them out, none of my business)

Boogers · 08/01/2017 21:29

Fizz because MN has an AS facility which lets users look in a bit more depth where a poster is coming from, and from that often comes gems of advice.

I, and many others on this thread, judge people wearing the pyjamas. The OP judges people she perceives are judging her when she goes out in public in her pyjamas.

mummyof2pr · 08/01/2017 21:30

@hoxton but I have washed and put on a bit of makeup and brushed my hair, I just want to dress in my warm and comfy bottoms!

If you consider anything I said violates guidelines then report it. You have no right to tell anyone to stop posting.

You have been given countless reasons why people find this behaviour unacceptable. You are looking for people to agree with you and validate your behaviour.

FizzBombBathTime · 08/01/2017 21:30

Bravo you're starting to sound very hysterical.
