Pyjamas at hotel breakfast

[flyingpigsinclover]

We were staying overnight in a hotel last night (after a small domestic emergency so had left the house in a hurry), over breakfast this morning a family of five came down for breakfast with all the children in pyjamas and dressing gowns and barefoot. they were aged about eight to fifteen or so.

Aibu to think that this is not really acceptable?

And yet the majority of the posters are saying quite clearly that going down to breakfast in a hotel wearing pyjamas is not appropriate (maybe except very young children).

It may be easier for you. It doesn't change the fact pyjamas are nightwear, not general clothing.

I'm not saying anything different to almost every other poster on this thread.

I still don't see why it kids can't get out of bed and straight into clothes? And then after breakfast - don't wash! And Why is it ok to get pyjamas dirty and not clothes.

Totally ridiculous IMO.

Have seen this too, horrible and unacceptable behaviour, sorry for hoiked judgey pants.

@MaisyPops

But nobody is actually saying why?
If my 3 and 4 year olds were sat on a table with me in a hotel eating breakfast in their Pyjamas (which quite often look very similar to their casual comfy clothes) for whatever reason, how would you affected?

Who gives a fuck seriously people can wear what they want to wear in Britain, it’s personal choice unless otherwise stated by the premises. Hate snobs.

Would you all like to step away from the keyboard and take off your judgey pants plz thanks 🤙

@Lethaldrizzle

It makes much more sense to feed them breakfast in their Pyjamas because if they spill something it wouldn’t matter as they are taking them off in a minute. Why would i get my 3 year old out of her pyjamas into a clean outfit just for her to spill food on it meaning I would have to get her changed again.

How does it affect you what other people are doing? Well to start with you have to look at them (which is probably why they are doing it), and then possibly explain to your children why some people think it's acceptable to come down to a public area in nightwear. Lazy and slobbish and I would totally judge anyone who did this.

But nobody is actually saying why?
Because they are pyjamas! How hard is it to understand that clothes match settings.

I mean, I COULD walk round town in jeans and a bikini top, but I don't because bikinis are beach/swim wear and not for wandering around town.

I COULD turn up to work wearing sparkly stillettos, but I wouldn't because they are going out shoes and not work attire.

Pyjamas are for sleeping (and lounging around thr house) in, not for going out in public.

I have a horrible feeling you'll also be of the view 'why shouldn't mums do thr school run in their pyjamas?! It's hard enough to get kids up and dressed as it is'.

Why thank you Lweji. I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of being sensible on AIBU before .

Temps - so do you put on clean clothes before every meal or do they have lunch and dinner in the same clothes?

@MaisyPops

I would get dressed to do the school run and go down for breakfast because I’m an adult and I don’t wear Pyjamas to bed. However most days I will only throw on running leggings and a t-shirt/jumper.
But children, why would it matter what they are wearing. I took my 4 year old to the doctors this morning in a superman costume, would I go dressed as superman? No, but he is a child.
Did I break doctor surgery etiquette there too?

@Lethaldrizzle

At least by lunch they would of been wearing that outfit for a few hours. But yes if they made a mess at lunch they would have to be cleaned up or changed.
Just like in the evenings I wouldn’t bother changing them into Pyjamas before they have finished eating because then if they make a mess I would just have to get them new Pyjamas to sleep in.

Barefoot is grim.

Barefoot is grim.

If someone went from the gym straight to breakfast would that be ok? Worse or better than pjs?

I really feel for all these people inhabiting MN who are so grossly offended by the human body. Life must be terribly unpleasant for them, surrounded by ghastly smells of people who haven't showered in the past 5 minutes and changed their sheets that night, who dare to reveal that they have feet and whose clothes haven't been changed in the past hour.

W aren't offended by the people we live and live with

We do not want to see strangers skinning about in hotel breakfast rooms

They can do whatever they like at home, but should show some rbe spect to the people and their surroundings.

They are the people who really don't give a shot about others -

And nobody has really clarified the flip-flop/strappy sandals v bare feet point...

Who's we, Green? Please, speak for yourself. Plenty of people just don't give a rat's arse what other people do if it doesn't impact on them personally.

'If someone went from the gym straight to breakfast would that be ok? Worse or better than pjs?'

Dear god, Lweiji! The very thought! They won't have showered in the past 5 minutes! Imagine the pong! They'd be throwing off a cloud of whiff strong enough to offend a 12 mile radius, surely! Their feet alone, sorry, I mean, their trotters, would reek.

And you know, even going to breakfast is so anti-social! All that chomping, slurping and crunching.

Bare feet I don’t think is grim for the other guests but the floor is likely to have food on it that they’d be stepping on and getting stuck to their feet which is a bit gross, surely.

@motherinferior

Because they had no point, there isn’t really any difference.
I personally wouldn’t or let my kids walk around like that bare foot as the floor would be dirty and may have glass etc.
But it wouldn’t make any difference to me if someone else was, I wouldn’t want them putting their feet on me or near me but neither would I want their shoes on me.
We question it because it’s unusual but there really are bigger things to be worried about.

Flip flops or sweaty gyms
Clothes don't really bother me. Unless someone is dripping in sweat

No, I'm sorry. You dress for meals when not in your own/family member's home. Please do not come to breakfast unwashed and barefoot while I'm eating thanks! Yeah yeah I'm a snob I know.

If you go down to breakfast wearing your sleeping attire you are treating the hotel dining room as an extension of your bedroom - that is incredibly rude and disrespectful to the other guests and the staff. I can maybe see that it is less of an issue with the younger children but for older children and adults this is just not acceptable. As for bare feet in a dining room - how could anyone deem this to be appropriate? I recently spent a 13 hour flight in the company of two men who had bare feet the entire time, absolutely gross. I do not need to see bare feet unless they are on a beach or in a swimming pool, and yes there is something different about bare feet compared to a thong or sandals. It is not the amount of visible foot, it just demonstrates a total lack of regard for others to present yourself without anything on your feet in this scenario. Slobby and disgusting.

Please do not come to breakfast unwashed

How can you tell?
How long before breakfast is acceptable for you?
