To drop DD off in my pyjamas?

Have a rare day off and plan on spending it in bed.
So tempted to just stay in my pyjamas so I can jut slide back into bed when I get home!

...although I have a feeling if I rock up in my captain America pyjamas they think I'm in the midst of a breakdown Grin

You have planned badly, you should have slept in joggers or leggings or something that is technically day wear but you can sleep in.

FlossieCharlieCat · 13/10/2017 08:24

I've done it but in wide legged plain burgandy PJs in cotton...with a coat on top they passed for normal trousers. Smile

It takes seconds to throw some joggers and a jumper over your pyjamas and take them off again when you get home. You don't need to be done up to the nines.

As a teacher I think this is so disrespectful. I am in the classroom, professionally dressed, prepared and ready to greet your children having already sorted my own children out and dropped them off. You can't even be bothered to get dressed?

Why care what other people think.....it's your life ......

millsbynight · 13/10/2017 08:40

Won’t your DD be embarrassed if her friends saw you and started teasing her because of you? Sad

If you’re staying in the car and just waving her off, no problem, but walking through the school gates and hanging around... just no.

This is way, way too much effort for your average pyjamas-in-public type.

I mean, clearly.

I compromised and wore leggings and a long hoody. Now sat on my sofa eating ice cream for breakfast Grin

That's not really my problem though is it? It's MY day off and I never get a day off.

Well, you must agree it's not a good look, otherwise you wouldn't have got changed into actual clothes.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/10/2017 08:48

I’ve done it. But only when I don’t have to get out of the car and I drop dd off 5 minutes walk away from school.

'As a teacher I think this is so disrespectful'
Ah it's not disrespectful really, some people are just lazy couldn't give a shit types. The PJ's are usually accessorised with grubby uggs and messy buns Grin

SilverySurfer · 13/10/2017 08:48

So tempting but best not to - wouldn't look good if the car broke down. I recently bought a new dressing gown - really fluffy with a big hood which makes me look a bit like an eskimo and I've spent way too much time trying to think of a reason why it would be perfectly acceptable for me to wear it when I go out on my mobility scooter when it gets cold but can't think of a single excuse Sad

dowager

I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't actually going to go out in my captain America pyjamas.... no need to keep going on.

To be fair I did drive past a lady in her pyjamas at the side of the road this week waiting for her recovery van Grin

Hahahahaha well give yourself a gold star then Chickoletta. Do you expect full business attire and makeup in order to show 'respect' as well? Maybe you should try the PJ thing- it's quite liberating.

Personally, I think the key is choosing PJs that can also double as trackie-bottoms. Loungewear is a genius invention.

TheDowagerCuntess · 13/10/2017 08:57

Why is it obvious? People do it. You're just a faceless random on t'internet.

Fair play to you for, um, dressing yourself 👍

This advert was made for you, op!

As it goes, I couldn't give a shiny shit if someone turned up in pjs. As an ex shop worker, that could be often, depending on the time of day/night. As long as there's clothes of some description, it's all good. However, this is mumsnet social deviancy at its best, the horror!

DaisyRaine90 · 13/10/2017 09:14

Pyjamas at the school gate is not acceptable. Ever.

This is outing if anyone on here knows me...I ran DD up to catch her bus. She had to get out of car quickly to catch the bus, slammed the door shut...but it didn't catch properly and I couldn't reach far enough across the car to open and close it again. I had to get out, walk round the car and open/close the door in my dressing gown. Never again.

TiredMumToTwo · 13/10/2017 09:19

I keep my pjs on if i'm not getting out of the car but there's no way I'd be stood outside in public in them. Totally get your frustration though.
