AIBU to think if you're embarrassed to speak to someone when wearing pyjamas, you should get dressed

I was giving a lift to a friend of dd16. The boy told dd his mother wanted to talk to me when I picked him up. All fine. I like to have at least met parents where possible.

We got to the meeting point. I pulled in but she stayed in her car so I got out to have a chat. She was wearing pyjamas and a bathrobe. I mentioned I was pleased she had wanted to speak as I like to meet the friends' parents. She told me that when we pulled in, she told her ds he was off the hook for her speaking to me as I was dressed and therefore she wasn't getting out of the car to speak to me. I just found it a bit odd that she would arrange to speak to me but then turn up not dressed and even more odd that she seemed to expect I would be wearing the same to pick up other kids and to meet their mother.

YANBU
she probably saw you dressed like a normal person and felt embarrassed because pyjamas are not really going out clothes.

I've done a late night pick up for DH and worn more 'lounge wear' style pyjama bottoms with a howdy and even felt paranoid about somebody realising. But it was the small hours of the morning so didn't care. Outdoors during the day is for day time clothes.

*hoody- not howdy

Yes. Throwing a hoodie on top, rather than a bathrobe would at least make it look vaguely like clothes.
