To drop DD off in my pyjamas?

[SuzukiLi]

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

I wouldn't even open the door in my pyjamas, let alone go out the door in them. Don't want strangers seeing me in my private bedroom wear. Can't understand this trend in the UK at all!

I've been clubbing in my pyjamas before so I don't know why this phased me

Just get dressed.

Very easy to say, not so easy for some to do. Especially if you're running very late and have made sure everyone else is ready to go but forgotten yourself, or you just had a baby and getting out of the house is difficult enough, or you're suffering an illness or disability that makes mornings hell - at least you got the kids to school only to be met by someone Boden-clad, sniffy judgy pants sneering at you. Oh yes, there's often ones who are just having a lazy day as well, but who really cares, why should they explain themselves? It has zero effect on other people, or society in general.

Get over yourself

You're talking as if we haven't all been in those positions many times ourselves, Edmund.

I will continue to judge. What does it matter? It's only in my own little head. And on MN, of course!

PJ wearers don't care what I think.

Oooh sorry I'd be hoiking my judgy pants up at that one.

Can't you just stick jeans over and put a coat over the PJ top with trainers? I know you said it will make you feel more awake but surely you'd feel that awake anyway by the time you've done the school run?

private bedroom wear

Makes me think of something entirely different!!

YOu're going to spend ALL day in bed?... Like until 3pm before the school run?

This sort of stuff completely baffles me. I never understand the 'rules'.

Some people will judge you for no reason other than "I wouldn't do that", the rest of us wish we'd done it too.

I walk, and even the thick layer of grubbiness on my pjs wouldn't keep me warm so socially-approved-daytime-wear it is

Surely private bedroom wear is something completely different? like Ann summers

vq me too. That's why mine look like joggers. It's my comfy dossing round the house clothes. I have nice stuff, and if I go play group with baby ds I'll wear decent stuff, like jeans and a top. Otherwise, what's the point, nobody cares 🤷‍♀️

I will continue to judge. What does it matter?

If you've been there yourself, to say you 'judge' is hypocritical. If it was such a silent judgment, why judge at all? It's not anything worthy to be judged over, a none event as much as a parent turning up actually dressed but having accidentally spilled coffee all over themselves, or one who works as a decorator turning up in paint covered overalls. Those are far grubbier than clean (but possibly well worn) pjs, yet no one would judge that.

'You're talking as if we haven't all been in those positions many times ourselves, Edmund. '
Exactly. I'm not a 'boden wearing snob', I have DC, illnesses, frequent hospital opas etc etc.
I manage to get dressed no matter how trying a day I'm about to have. That is probably why I judge people who cba as there really isn't any excuse. No one wants to see you in your PJ's outside your house.

this thread is weird. there are always some parents in pyjamas at every school gate! don't let mumsnet get to you op, wear your pyjamas with pride!

Cromwell1536 that’s brilliant! Nobody lets me out in leggings anymore 😂 DP says they are gym wear or house wear, and my 4 year old thinks their pyjamas because I only wear them at home 😂

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

That's nice for you. But you're working. OP wasn't working that day. Why does her dress code on her days off have to be held to the same standard as your dress code on your working days?

I highly doubt you are "professionally dressed" on your days off. I bet you choose what you're going to wear, based on what you feel comfortable in. Well, that's your choice - OP's choice is her own.

I say this as a person training to be a teacher - get off your high horse. People who wear jimjams to do the school run and then go back to bed? They're not wearing their jimjams at you.

Exactly. I have put jeans on with a partial dislocation and a migraine to do the school run. I have only been out once in my pyjamas, to the Drs. Even then I felt so dreadful I never did it again 😂 I have rang an ambulance because my daughter had a sky high fever at 3am and still put clothes on. There really isn’t a justification I can think of. It’s laziness and it’s teaching our children that being a slob is acceptable. I don’t imagine our parents/grandparents generation thinking they could get away with it.
That pyjama mama advert is comedy gold. I will never buy that car now though. EVER.

MyrtleMaracas good for you. Obviously if you can, there's definitely no excuse for others not to do it. Because your personal circumstances absolutely dictates how others can manage.

Pyjamas at the school gate is not acceptable. Ever.

When did that make it through Parliament?

Anne Summers? Haha, actually I never wear anything when sleeping in my own bedroom, but bedroom clothes are definitely private to me. Maybe they just sell different pyjamas here in Germany. In any case I've never seen anyone wearing their nightwear outdoors here, even studenty/alternative types, and I can't remember it being a thing back in the olden days when I lived in the UK.

Nobody is saying she can’t dress comfortably and not in work clothes.
We are saying she cannot go out in her night clothes.

I'm fully dressed, I even have my shoes on still. Yet I'm still here, being lazy, on MN.

On some days I've done far more by now, without being dressed.

Therefore, every single one of you is lazy, whether you're dressed or not. Go and do something FFS! I'll just sit here and supervise you all judgily....

Is this supposed to be “lighthearted” or do you really need to ask MN if you are allowed to go out wearing what you want? (Or are you just after a bunfight on an overdone and boring hot button topic).

Just kidding, I'm not really going to supervise. I CBA doing that

I’m not talking about it being legally acceptable 🙄 not everything has to go through parliament. It was my opinion. I should have said “I don’t think it is ever acceptable.” Thanks for keeping me on my toes this morning 😊
