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?

Ps. I sleep naked, so pjs were clean.

PS - if you sleep naked, why do you have pjs and why put them on instead of other types of clothes?

No one batted an eyelid

Well actually they did, only too polite to say anything.

Have you read the thread?

So being pregnant and feeling like shit is a reason? Where's that 98 year old war hero when we need him!

PS - if you sleep naked, why do you have pjs and why put them on instead of other types of clothes?

Because putting clothes on would not give her the chance to show off what a free spirit she is how unhampered by boring convention.

Toddlers in PJs at a hotel breakfast - unremarkable as I would assume that it was a practical decision based on dribbling food everywhere vs limited clean clothes.

Adults in PJs - I do judge. I don't even think about the hygiene angle; just that you look like you have no self respect and I would assume that this bled into other areas of your life.

Wearing clothes appropriate to the environment is a societal norm - PJs fine in your own home but not OK in a public place - and a hotel restaurant IS a public place.

Wouldn’t do it but it wouldn’t bother me either

Rolf, I expect he'd lived through a lot of challenges - including getting himself up and dressed in far more taxing circumstances than breakfast in a luxury hotel - during the Blitz maybe, or a POW camp, or the liberation of Belsen

That's an interesting new variation on Godwin's Law.

PJs at breakfast only ok at home, at family's house or at very very good friends' house. Anything else shows lack of standards, laziness and lack of respect for others.

And for me that includes toddlers.

The amount I would enjoy sniggering (privately) at this would more than offset the amount I would be actually annoyed by it.

I betting the kid's bare feet are cleaner than my dog's paws and he always comes down to breakfast with us when we stay in a hotel!
My dd asked if she could go down to breakfast in her pjs but we told her it wasn't the done thing....a bit too casual but some of the people on this thread have a very strong reaction to something that is very minor - pace yourselves people how on earth do you respond to something that is truly offensive?

I don't find it offensive Orange - I can still reserve plenty of opprobrium for truly hideous things

However a lack of standards to me represents the thin end of the wedge mannerly speaking- society works in a certain way and it behoves everyone to understand social mores so that everything runs smoothly.

I do a fair bit of interviewing in my job and I remain staggered at the amount of people who fail to understand what is and isn't acceptable to wear to an interview. It's not a massive leap to connect the two if the differences have never been maintained as you were growing up.

Ladycanyon - it wasn't your response that I found a bit extreme.

Orange

BTW, if it's cleanliness we aim for, shouldn't everyone go to hotel breakfast in slippers?
Outside shoes are way dirtier than feet.

Well I am sure it wasn't the Ritz, so I'd mind my own business and focus on my own life. The standard of the 'hotel' sound rather lower class.

Some of you need to come to Liverpool where it's totally socially acceptable to go out in your pyjamas. Many actually have one pair of bed pjs, and one pair of outdoor pjs.

Yes, half the fun of being in a hotel is going to breakfast in PJ's and annoying other people.

Have not ready any comments, just the OP, to which I would say:

Oh dear god worry about something else...

dirty?! eh?? Where does that come from? You get as dirty in the day as in bed, in fact more so, but you don't turn your nose up at evening commuters still in the same clothes that they put on that morning!!!

I’ve been tempted many times!

We have been to a few luxury family hotels where it seemed to be encourage and most of the families headed down in PJs - not really my bag I must be honest but I think in the right environment it doesn't really matter ...

Don't think it's nice nor at supermarket plus curlers in!

I live in my pjs/loungwesr at home for comfort. I have health issues so it is much better for me with comfort etc. I always am tidy though even if it is s day at home, I will have showered and done my hair etc and changed into clean ones.

Away from home in a hotel no I wouldn't do it. I would wear slippers to come down to breakfast in not shoes though.

If I was late down I would throw on lounge wear of trackies bottoms and a t-shirt which cn be taken for everyday wear though is now sold as lounge wear.

Normal pjs and dressing gown no. Each to there own. Acceptable for young children but not older and adults IMHO

I'm a bit grossed out by barefoot. Also, haven't they heard of onesies!? My dd always takes hers so she can have breakfast before showering. If you plan to do this you could also take nightwear that passes as lounge wear. I just bought dd a new pj top that they'd accidentally put in the partywear section. I had to locate the matching bottoms! You'd just think trackies and a sweatshirt if you saw them which you could probably get away with in a hotel restaurant.
