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

If you've been there yourself

I mean I've been in those situations, and still got dressed.

It's really not that challenging, which is why I assume laziness (90% of the time. The remaining 10% I put down to mental health issues, or turning to the bottle, in which case I'd have some degree of sympathy).

Just get dressed.

My pjs look like sports wear - BABAM!

And I'm saying, to the Judgypants Brigade, who died and made you all Elvis?

It's like anything else in life. You get to make your choices, and so does everyone else. If you don't like it, don't do it. If you don't like seeing it, don't look at it. But you don't get to tell anyone else to do, not when they're not harming you in the slightest*.

*For the record, wounding your delicate sensibilities does not count as harming you.

@ravenmum I just went on Karstadt website to see if German pjs were different - they aren’t - but the nightshirts are gorgeous. I want all of them.

SuzukiLi · 13/10/2017 10:30

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

Nope! I don't have to get till 6pm Grin

I do. Pull up outside school, open door, children hop out. Buh bye and no-one will notice I'm in pyjamas. Why not?

ravenmum · 13/10/2017 10:32

May also just be the state of my nightwear though - still have a nightie I bought before I came to Germany, and that was 25 years ago this year Grin.

What other people do is their business, I just can't imagine being that laid back!

*'I never understand why seeing people out in pjs bothers people so much. Why does it matter?'
It's like when people wear food stained clothes a few days on the trot or have excessively greasy hair, it really doesn't matter at all but it gives the impression of just being lazy, grubby and unkempt really.......Well no, Its actually not. *

The clothes your describing are dirty, so is the hair. LOL

Why not, if that's what she wants? Personally I'd get bored, but it's not my day off - it's the OP's.

TheDowagerCuntess · 13/10/2017 10:35

Why does it bother you so much that people are judging PJ wearing, faith?

Nobody's stopping anyone from doing anything. But you're never going to stop or police people's thoughts - annoying as it might be to realise people do freely judge this sort of thing.

faithinthesound · 13/10/2017 10:39

I don't care if people judge. This is not 1984 and I am not the Thought Police lol. What I care about is people saying things like "such and such is never acceptable ever" like they have any right to decide that. So it's not acceptable by you, cool. But I'm not you.

In almost any debate where someone wants to do something that harms no one except perhaps the delicate sensibilities of the pearl clutchers, I'm on the side of You Doing You. I'm pro-minding your own business, basically.

I might not agree with everyone's choices but I fight tooth and nail to make sure everyone has the right to make them for themselves.

Shedmicehugh · 13/10/2017 10:40

Did you or didn’t you OP?!

SuzukiLi · 13/10/2017 10:41

I didn't... but I wish I did now as the nursery was relatively empty today and there weren't many parents about!

Nooo! Don't you know that pyjamas spontaneously disintegrate the second one steps off ones drive or path onto the pavement? Do you really want to be left standing in your undies or less while bin men etc. leer? Shock Don't do it!

SuzukiLi · 13/10/2017 10:44

I'm naked now though so life's good

I have harem pants and ugg boots which are basically pyjamas and slippers that I wear for such occasions. I don't leave the car, but if I broke down I wouldn't be mortified.

Haudyerwheesht · 13/10/2017 10:49

There's a mum at the kids school who not only wears PJs - she wear a nightie with a dressing gown and slippers. I judge her because surely the slippers get wet and manky? Otherwise I kind of partly admire her don't give a fuck attitude!

nigelsbigface · 13/10/2017 10:53

I did it the other day when off sick. Didn't get out of the car mind.

Eliza9917 · 13/10/2017 10:54

I wore nightwear in the car to a KFC drive through once. It was horrendous, the whole time I was driving I was just paranoid that someone would hit me and I'd have to get out of the car like it.

Shedmicehugh · 13/10/2017 10:54

That’s a shame! I wanted to hear if you got any tuts and head shaking!

I’m currently decorating in my PJ’s, haven’t even brushed my teeth or hair this morning!

liz70 · 13/10/2017 11:03

"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?"

Chickoletta, the only obligation I, and other parents and guardians have to you, and other teachers on a school morning, is to deliver our children, suitably dressed, in correct uniform if relevant, to the school gate on time. No more, no less. I say this as a mother who has dropped off and picked up three DDs over the space of thirteen years so far, always on time, and not once in my pyjamas. You can't micromanage your pupils' parents/carers life outside school.

NC4now · 13/10/2017 11:16

That teacher line makes no sense. Of course you'd get dressed to do a professional role. No-one's talking about wearing pyjamas to work.
It's for stay at home days.

DaisyRaine90 · 13/10/2017 11:18

It doesn’t harm me at all. It’s just my opinion. 😊 My sensibilities are not so delicate and I can take it 😂 there are plenty of things people judge me on, I just shrug it off and do exactly what I was going to anyway. As the OP should in all things!! Who cares if she offends me? I’m a grown up, sometimes I should be offended 😂
