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?

Lweji would you go to work in clothes you’d slept in all night? If not why not?

Grim
Unacceptable.

How is it grim? It’s an extra half an hour in bed clothes. I always feed my little ones breakfast before I get them changed, because they are hungry as soon as they wake up and may spill food down the clothes which I would rather was on the pyjamas that are being taken of and put in the wash in a few minutes than a full outfit that I had only put on them 2 minutes ago.

Maybe they also left the house in a hurry and didn't have any other clothes.

With your 'emergency' you think you would have better things to worry about.

Lweji would you go to work in clothes you’d slept in all night? If not why not?

I know this question wasn't for me, but: a whole day at work, sitting next to/mingling with a lot of people, is very different from about an hour sitting at a table with my family or friends.

Lweji would you go to work in clothes you’d slept in all night? If not why not?

Mostly so that I can sleep in clean clothes, not clothes that I've spend the day in.

You'd never notice if I had slept in my jeans and went to work in them.

I'm always a bit fascinated by this kind of thread, in fact any that mention wearing pyjamas at odd time, and this issue of smelling and how awful they must stink.

I've genuinely never experienced this horrific stench that seems to afflict people after lying in a clean bed for a few hours.

Why didn’t they just get room service?

@Lweji Oh no! What is wrong with kids shopping in pyjamas now?

It's the ultimate sin, you know? Totally grim. They will just infect the shop.

Is eating breakfast at home in pyjamas you’ve worn in bed also grim? Is eating in a restaurant at 10pm in clothes you’ve been wearing for 14 hours grim? What do people do in bed to get so filthy?

Couldn't give a fuck Tbh.

Faerie, I've already said this in response to another poster, but isn't room service expensive? Plus maybe they felt the need to get out of their room.

Can I just add though... the first time I stayed in a hotel (vair posh) with DH, then DBoyfriend, the waitress came up to me at breakfast and informed me that I was violating their dress code by wearing trainers.

I was asked to leave.

(That's going a bit far I think, tbh)

Surely everyone takes their pj’s off and showers in the morning? If you’re just going to stay in them you won’t have had a shower.

That’s why it’s grim. Not rocket science.

I bet they wouldn't have asked you if you were Julia Roberts.

Some people have showers the night before and just put clothes on in the morning.

Some people don't even have a shower every day.

NerrSnerr I can think of a few things for adults

Lweji i bet Julia Roberts can do whatever she likes in hotels!

No. I feed my children breakfast and then they are washed and dressed. I’ve got for little ones who need my assistance with breakfast/washing/dressing, it takes a good 2+ hours to wash and dress them all and they would be completely starving if I didn’t allow them breakfast until after then.
Do you seriously force your children to be showered and properly dressed before they are allowed to eat!?

I was always told that the sign of a truly classy hotel, is that they would not give a fuck about what you were wearing.

To me there are public spaces and private spaces and pjs are for private spaces.

This is a much better explanation of what I was getting at with "intimate" PJs.

A hotel breakfast is a public space in a way that breakfast at home isn't. That's why it's different.

When you're camping you end up with an odd set of private and public spaces, but people tend to put something over their PJs to go to the shower block, not because of the cold but because of a collective understanding that you're not actually at home. You probably wouldn't bother with a dressing gown in a hotel room with en suite bathroom, but you sure as fuck would in a hostel with shared bathroom.

I wouldn't do it but it wouldn't bother me at all.
At hotels with spas you see people in their towel robes and slippers all over the place. It's not much different to that really.

@Lweji

Oops, my 3 and 4 year old infected the whole of 3 different supermarkets yesterday morning. Also had 3 10 year old girls in unicorn onesies infecting Sainsbury’s Friday night on a late night trip to get ice cream.

I knew someone would make a comment about all of them appearing in public without having showered and how 'smelly' it is. Get a life! The barefeet's a bit minging, but who the hell cares?
