To think putting on pyjamas after swimming class at 5pm is a bit weird?

[PlayNoBill]

My DD has a swim lesson 4:15 to 4:45 and other children change into their pjs after their class. Is this the new thing? Never seen it before. Is this a little early to be in pjs?

I often go to the gym in the evening. After a good weights session, swim and steaming hot shower I always REALLY want to put my pyjamas on.
I don't. I have some jersey harem pants, ugg boots and a hoody which are close enough but socially acceptable outside at 10pm.
If I was a kid I'd wear my jamas.

Dancergirl , you sound like a freeminded , free thinking ,fun kind of women

What a fab idea!

Makes sense really as long as they've had a shower.

Well I think it sounds like a bloody good idea.

Why put on clothes that have been run around in all day (very active pair here) after a shower, onesie is a great idea plus home more family time, teeth and bed

YANBU.

Pyjamas are worn at home. As are slippers, dressing gowns, and wearing a t-shirt and knickers . Wearing them outside is just incredibly lazy. And rather sad.

Mine get their fleece onesies on - so much easier and quicker.

What I think is odd, is when I am putting the pj's onto freshly showered children and look up to an ass or fanjo right there next to me! And for some reason, the person is always bent over 'drying' themselves....I mean, seriously is that really necessary? I don't have a problem seeing naked bodies but I do have a problem with blatant exhibitionism!

Op.....is that you?

Wearing them outside is just incredibly lazy. And rather sad

They are CHILDREN. Getting into the car and going straight home. What is sad is having an opinion on that, let alone calling little kids lazy. Wtf?

I always want my children to have a bath and wash their hair at home after swimming. Showering with swimming costumes on, in communal showers riddled with verrucas, just doesn't seem very hygienic! But I realise I'm probably over-thinking this - I'm sure there are no documented cases of people getting sick from this. Pyjamas after swimming lessons does sound very practical.

My DD gets straight into a onesie she has training later on so we save the showering til after that. So much easier putting on a onesie than trying to get clothes on damp skin

I think it's odd. Dd's swimming lesson starts at 5.30. When we arrive at the pool the majority of kids coming oit of previous lesson are in onsies. Dd doesn't get it either.

THe - why do they shower with costumes on still? They are supposed to take them off! Mine get out, in shower, swim trunks off and rinsed, soap and shampoo naked under shower, rinse. Out, dry, pjs on, hair dried. Home for dinner.

Why is it weird op? Are you the kind of person who puts her kids in their 'Sunday best' at the weekend?

user1484317265, the children wear what their parents tell them to wear (and what the parents model). The PARENTS are lazy. You don't wear pyjamas on the street. In the same way as you don't wear rollers in your hair, or your t-shirt and knickers. I do think there are certain minimum social standards.

Which you can breach if you like, of course. But then don't be surprised if people look at you oddly. And yes, I would stare.

Everyone does this at our pool.

DD's lesson is 5.15 and the smaller kids are getting out and showered when we arrive so they are all getting into onesies and pjs afterwards.

DD used to but it's so crowded in the showers that she shoves clothes back on now and we shower at home after dinner.

It's so much easier to put a onesie on a slightly damp small child than wrestle with underwear, trousers, top etc.

They aren't on the street. They get into the car and go straight home. No street. It's not lazy, its sensible.
Who died and made you god of what kids should wear?

Most of the other kids at DS's swimming lessons do this which makes sense as it finishes at 6.30pm. I don't understand why you would do it if the lessons finish before 5pm though.

We eat dinner after swimming so DS does put his school uniform back on afterwards so nothing else gets covered in food.

Always do it!
Arrive at pool 5:20 in school uniform as I've just got back from work so no time to change them even if I wanted to.
Both swim then out at 6, showered, hair washed, into jammies, hair dryed, home, supper, bed! Love swimming lesson night lol!

You know, 'lazy' is not the terrible sin some of you seem to think it is! We need to give ourselves a bloody break sometimes and take the easy option. Being too lazy to take your child to school or make them dinner from scratch or read to them is worth judging. Not wanting to get your DC changed twice in an evening is good lazy, sensible, easy going, not giving yourself extra work to do. Call me lazy if you want but I'm the one reading to my kids instead of getting them changed all over again.

I used to do that with my DS , in his Thomas PJs. Swimming is exhausting, he would be asleep when we got home.

Its not weird if they have a shower first and are driven home, and don't go out again. It is weird if they don't shower, or have to walk home or go onto other activities.
That's the way I look at it. The shower is replacing their night time bath so they're ready for bed, even if they don't go for a few hours.
theconstant some pools have private showers. Ours does, so you can strip off and shower properly. I agree with you that a shower in a costume isn't a proper shower.

Op and other judgey parents will be mortified to know .Last year my DS went for swimming lesson, Changed into onsie afterwards then walked to school ( very close) for parents evening.

This was what he wanted to wear...I sincerely had more concerns at parents evening than what he wore to school.

I am not a lazy parent..He wears an ironed uniform to school every day, ironed Cubs uniform , martial art uniform..Sometimes he gets to choose .

Lots of DS's competitive swimming mates put on onesies- especially after the Sunday morning slog. I'd love DS to do the same, but he always wants to go out for breakfast, so no chance.

In fact, swimzies are a thing-sold at competitions for about £60. It's a thick onesie with towelling inside- dries and warms without any effort. I really wish I'd thought of marketing that idea.

Mine also used a onesie in this situation, plus hair wrapped in a towel. This was because the hairdryers didn't work and there were no plugs for you to bring your own (disgusting council outsourced pool with no maintenance for years). Showers often cold too.
