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.

Fizz how is that patronising? I was trying to be kind.

You have said that you have a tiny baby and I can see that you were up through the night posting on this thread, so sleep deprivation isn't a big leap - especially as you apologised to a previous poster for misreading their post because you'd been up all night with the baby.

It's really quite exasperating trying to give you the benefit of the doubt Fizz.

If your continuing rude and aggressive posting style isn't due to lack of sleep and hormones I'll just conclude that it's just your normal position and bear that in mind for the future.

I do think that if even the OP asks you to stop posting on her side you've really got to stop and try to take an objective look at what you are writing.

I'm not trying to be mean, goady, patronising, condescending or any of the other things you've accused me on this thread. I'm trying to give you some genuine feedback.

I'm quite happy to engage in robust debate but I do object to my posts being mischaracterised.

Creative and artsy types boak as well.

But I do think you are right. Some people do have reasons for being in pyjamas and aren't just doing it to get attention or whatever.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:20

mizz I don't need your kindness I've had a baby not swam the fucking channel

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:21

I hear you on what you're saying. I just told you how it came across to me. I'm entitled to an opinion, No?

HorridHenryrule · 09/01/2017 14:21

MizzEmma let it go if you know this about her why push buttons. In RL you would walk away not goad a new mother.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:23

The fact that I've had a baby is irrelevant! I disagreed with you and you didn't like it. Get over yourself.

HorridHenryrule · 09/01/2017 14:25

Don't bite and leave her alone.

1horatio · 09/01/2017 14:27

Why are we talking about babies? Not that I don't like talking about babies... Our little Clary is in my (obviously v biased ) opinion the most interesting subject ever :)! But this is a thread about pyjama wearers in general.

PetalMettle · 09/01/2017 14:27

I don't like it. Primarily as it looks as if the owner has been in them overnight and probably without underwear. I was wfh today and it was easier to have a shower after I dropped DS at nursery so I pulled on a pair of jogging bottoms to drop him. Not hard

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:28

No horatio MINE is!

MizzEmma · 09/01/2017 14:28

Horrid I did walk away. At 1am (my time).

I was pretty pissed off to check in this morning and find someone lying about what I'd posted last night though and wanted to put the record straight. There's nothing goady about that.

But I shall take your advice.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:29

mizz I accepted that I took your post a way you didn't mean it to sound.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:30

But the baby thing was uncalled for.

HorridHenryrule · 09/01/2017 14:32

Fizz breath and relax what you are saying has nothing to do with thread. It's about pyjamas ffs. Any reasonable person reading this thread would think we lost the fucking plot. You want to spice it up with argument and controversy.

DioneTheDiabolist · 09/01/2017 14:34

OP, why do you dress your DC when going out, but not yourself?

heron98 · 09/01/2017 14:37

I have solved this issue by sleeping in tracksuit bottoms. This means I can go out in my "pyjamas" with impunity, even if I look about as stylish as a dead kipper.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:37

horrid what?!

I had left it until i had seen the nasty comment she had made about me.

It was uncalled for.

I'm entitled to tell her that

HorridHenryrule · 09/01/2017 14:38

MizzEmma I know what you mean I get like that sometimes. You end up being caught in something you don't want to be involved in.

WaitrosePigeon · 09/01/2017 14:44

Mizz, I think you've behaved very well on this thread. You've remained calm and level headed.

You can't win with some people sometimes, they have just got so much bad stuff going on in their lives that it spills over into agressiveness on here - you won't get anywhere

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:45

I don't understand how advance searching me and bringing it up is seen to be ok? And I'm not allowed to not be ok with it?

Jeeeeeez.

Evergreen17 · 09/01/2017 14:46

Wear whatever you want OP. Life is too short for this crap of people sticking their noses in other people's choices.
If you were rude or inconsiderate I would take issue, but what do I care what you wear?!
Sad world we live in

MizzEmma · 09/01/2017 14:47

Horrid you are right though sometimes you just need to take a step back.

Waitrose thank you, that's sweet of you to say.

HorridHenryrule · 09/01/2017 14:50

What did she say that was nasty? She noticed that you just had a baby and you could be sleep deprived. You should be resting when I had my baby last year the last place I was on was mumsnet. The debates on here can be a challenge on the mind and if you are sleep deprived as well. You will come across snappy I've had 4 babies so I do understand how it feels.

SVJAA · 09/01/2017 14:51

Ooft it's all getting a bit nasty on here eh? Back off and leave the new mum alone. For the record, advance searching people and bringing up other stuff they'd said isn't good form.
While I'm here, I don't wear pjs outside, but I don't really care if anyone else does. I don't spend that much time worrying about anyone else's choice of clothing, I'm too busy trying to make sure I don't look a dogs dinner.

FizzBombBathTime · 09/01/2017 14:52

that's your life. You struggled, I haven't struggled. Everyone is different eh.
