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?

Can’t be bothered reading the whole thread but have read enough - I see nothing wrong in wearing pyjamas to breakfast. I have worn pyjama bottoms with a long cardigan over the top etc. I always brush my teeth before breakfast and would brush my hair leaving the room!

People have got too much time on their hands if they are it interested. It doesn’t affect anyone personally!

It's a no

Judgy pants much? I wouldn't go barefoot personally, but each to their own.

Honestly I’d far rather see a happy dishevelled family in pjs, having relaxing family time and giving zero fucks, than an uptight instamum with full slap on at 8am, snarling at her impeccably turned out family to pose while she ‘artfully’ snaps her coffee and shoes for her seven followers on social media.

I know which family I’d rather be as well.

Well there is a mid ground, you can be happy and simply dressed for rhe day you know. You can also be snarly in your pyjamas and happy yet impeccably turned out. Very judgemental Post.

I have stayed in some rather "posh" hotels (based in the UK) and I would much prefer to see a happy family relaxed in their PJs. Than a family of snooty bastards, sipping their orange juice like gods gift, thinking they are above all, being perfectly honest.

I am not an uptight instamum, just think that wearing your bedroom attire in a communal dining area is slovenly, disrespectful to other people and lazy. My children are 7 and 9 and they would not feel comfortable going into a hotel dining room for breakfast wearing their pyjamas with other diners present. I cannot understand how any adult thinks it is acceptable. Where does it end - dining at an evening meal wearing pyjamas at the hotel because you want to be comfortable for bed, nipping to the shops in pyjamas because its early and you can't be bothered to get dressed? Put some proper clothes on when you face other people!

I've never seen anyone drinking orange juice aggressively. I'm filing this alongside the paranoid poster who believes everyone is sending her secret communications in their clothing choices.

This is just fucking batshit. I'm going to be in a train to work tomorrow, wearing a blue dress. Would someone please tell me how many fruitloop ways this is going to be interpreted?

I have stayed at amongst others The Ritz , The Adlon and Claridges - not once have I seen any one turn up in their pyjamas.

"A happy family relaxed in their pjyamas" -what utter drivel. As if getting dressed means you can't be happy or relaxed.

Oh yes must not have got the memo that getting dressed in the morning to go to breakfast makes one such an uptight cah.

I was thinking i wouldn't on holiday but then thought if we had maybe had a really late night out with the kids and there was a deadline when breakfast stop's and we weren't ready I would possibly take them down especially if it was paid for.

I go to the school 2 mornings a week in my jamas but don't get out the car, I don't finish work till 1am then by the time I get in i can't get to sleep til gone 4 then im back up at 7 so I sometimes go back to bed til dinner time.

I wouldn't judge anyone else doing it though as you really don't know why they are doing it.

People paying a premium price to stay at a hotel can dress however they damn well please. I have never worn PJs to breakfast because I don't use them! I sleep naked. So thats that out of the window aye. Its pretty pathetic that guests at a hotel care so much about anothers presentation! I've only seen this pathetic thread due to my email alerts!

I’m obviously talking about two hypothetical extremes, not saying those are the only options.

I’d be somewhere in the middle, dressed but only just (last night’s jeans and a jumper), trying to stop WW3 between the kids while giving DH’s knee a squeeze and maybe fitting in a cheesy holiday photo if the occasion demands it. What I wouldn’t be doing is looking at other people and judging them. Well, unless they are having baked beans with their fried breakfast .

Come off it Yorick - how people dress in different circumstances is meant to communicate something about the person. Not always- but purposefully going out of the norm does.

I manage to get dressed, put some lipstick on and smile at my children. In fact I manage it every day. It's really not that hard you know.

Clearly you have never stayed in the 3 hotels I mentioned then if you think that.

It isn't an achievment to get dressed daily and put some lipstick on. I fail to see what sad people take time out of their day, to notice how others (on holiday!!) are dressed. Who gives a flying F!

Lass wii whatever.... I couldn't care lesa how anyone around me at a hotel dresses. As long as Im happy, thay suits me.

Who gives a flying F!

That is the point really. People like you who don't give a fuck. Too arrogant and self important to think social conventions of getting dressed apply to you. And as for your claims that there are expensive hotels which tolerate this...

@bluntness100 hypocrite much?

Tolerate what Lass? As I stated earlier. I don't wear clothes to bed. Usually in a hotel, I had sex a few times and go to sleep. And when I awake, I dress to go to breakfast (if I feel like it). But others appearances don't come into play. I pity you, the fact you notice!

Yes your ability to not care less as long as you are happy is coming through loud and clear.

What you fail to grasp is you are not the only customer the hotel has. Do you really think other paying guests will be happy at you slobbing out? Hotels like the ones I mentioned have strict dress codes.

Tolerate what Lass?

I think it was you who made the nonsensical claim that upmarket hotels tolerate guests wearing whatever they want including pyjamas at breakfast.

For the third time. I don't wear PJs. Because I sleep naked. Therefore I put clothes on when I enter public areas. I also have a shower and apply make up... (shocker aye). I couldn't care less how other people look. You need to get a life!

I don’t think I ever realised there was a rule, I’m sure I’ve had hotel breakfasts in my pjs before. I always hate putting on yesterday’s clothes to have breakfast, that feels more grotty to me. And I’m not usually done up ready to go before breakfast either. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever thought about it beyond that.
