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?

Pmsl!!!!
that's shocking! no you're not BU

🙄 some people.....I don't think you're being unreasonable, it's not the right thing to do. Not good etiquette/manners

Maybe they also had a domestic emergency and had to leave he house in the clothes they were wearing.

Bizarre and maybe a bit sad ?

It's probably a sign of the times and falling standards.
Hotels have probably never before expected to need to say 'customers are requested to wear clothes not night attire to the restuarant' and so don't have signs, but will start displaying them if this continues.

It's the same as some shops displaying signs requesting customers to dress before shopping or restaurants asking customers to wear shirts and shoes.

It's al part of the same thing - clearly some people think all of the above are fine behaviour and just them being relaxed. However, most people still want come standards upheld and when this is the case, businesses will often request those standards be met because most of their customers want it.

I think that’s brilliant. Good on them. 😂

chocolate - I agree.
Trouble is people with such lazy, sloppy and crass standards can drag down the standards of the hotel. Guests who want a dining room to look like a dining room, and not a bedroom, will go elsewhere,

OP should mind her own business, they've paid for their room and breakfast.

What?

As a child my grandfather wasn't allowed downstairs in his own house in pjs!

I can only imagine what his parents would have thought of such behaviour

So where does it stop? Would you wear your pyjamas or a dressing gown to a restaurant/wedding reception/church? And if not why not? Never met a pyjamas-in-public-wearer in real life, so never had a chance to ask.

Seems fair enough to me. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Although fluffy animal slippers should have been worn to complete the look.

So has OP

What if OP also decided not to conform to social norms?

Fart, pick her nose, talk loud sex talk? Why not go the whole hog and go naked? After all in some cxultures it's acceptable ....

@duck funny that, my dentist advises brushing after food.

Absolutely agree Greentulips , there has to be a level of decency in public. Hate getting dressed for breakfast and that is why I prefer to self cater on holiday but I wouldn't dream of inflicting my 'just out of pit' look on the general public. I wouldn't even open my front door to accept a package without being dressed.

Please understand that I am saying this with respect and love; I was amazed awhile ago at how many mn's sleep naked, but now children pyjamas in a hotel is "dirty, smelly, sweaty?"

Before menopause, I didn't sleep sweaty but I only tried to sleep nude once: I couldn't, I felt too naked. kids may pee the bed but they likely aren't going to sweat in a hotel. Mine shower before bed as well so not disgustingly filthy....how do you get dirty in bed as a child?

My dd 19, puts jammie pants on when she gets home. They are so comfortable that I sometimes do too...We don't have close neighbors. We wear normal shirts and slippers. It's wonderful, better than leggings by a lot.

I would only allow my dc to wear pjs in public hotel if they were going into the dirty laundry immediately after. But sometimes you need the dc to put on good clothes (formal occassion) so it makes sense to slip down to breakfast before fancy clothes, especially if it was long trip the day before so those clothes are yucky.

NEVER EVER barefeet!! That is disgusting.

Re: young woman in pjs in hotel talking loudly? My gran used to say, "pays to advertise."

I get that people think it's slovenly or anti-social, but I really don't understand why anyone would think it's unhygienic. Sure, it likely means you haven't showered, but lots of people bath or shower in the evening, especially children. Why would it be any cleaner instead to throw on yesterday's clothes?

I guess it suggests you haven't brushed teeth or hair and that to me is not putting your public face on, to make you more pleasant to be around. Sleepwear is quite personal/intimate in my mind. If you have brushed hair and teeth then it seems weird to stay in PJ's.

Barefoot children in a public place where people are wearing shoes is an odd thing for a parent to allow, for safety reasons alone.

greentulips Fart, pick her nose

Were you watching me?

The problem here is not informal dress sense but bad room service!

The hotel should have set up a table for them in their room.

This is one of the funniest threads I've ever read. All the angst and judgy pants on show!

Some of the people who have clothes on may be wearing the same ones that they have sweated, smoked, fared or whatever in the previous day - for a lot longer than a few hours in a clean bed.

I don't give a shit who sees me in my pyjamas; they cover me more than my work skirt and top does (oh, and my boss wears sparkly shoes just because she feels like it). Part of the beauty of rural living is pottering around in my jammies at the weekend and no one bothering. Jammies and wellies out in the paddock, enjoying the outside, ahh, comfort and bliss.

And for those who can always tell the difference between children's t-shirts and pyjama tops, I had a colleague - Chief Inspector no less - who was forbidden to dress his youngest daughter as he couldn't tell the difference

I can't be bothered to read all of the previous comments. But how sad of a life must you own, to not only be bothered by this.. but to make a thread about it!
