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?

In what way is it lazy and slobby?
Because pyjamas are clothes you wear for bed and in the house.

They are not for being outside and in public.

Actual emergencies aside, adults and older children wearing pyjamas in public is slobby and lazy.

Minging that is.

How many kids do you have if it takes 2-3 hours to wash and dress them ?!

In response to a pp, they hadn't been swimming as far as I know. There was no pool at the hotel and the local pool wasn't open that early.

I was wondering that. 2-3 hours?!

It does not take a family of 5, with 3 aged between 8 to 15 2-3 hours to shower and dress. Unless everyone is having 30 minute baths.

Are we talking about a pair of PJs or shitting in the cereal buffet?

😂

I have two. We woke up at 8am this morning and none of us are still dressed. It's the first time in weeks I've got a day at home and I'm embracing it before the DCs go to their Dads tomorrow.

I do think it's a bit grim outside, but I'm not going anywhere and the only person to yet get offended is likely my niece if she visits later. But that'll be because she wants my HP PJ's.

How is not wanting to get dressed one day relevant to not being able to get dressed at all in less than 2 hours?

4 kids under 10. This morning fed them breakfast around 7.30 and started getting them washed and dressed at about 8 and they weren’t all ready until gone 10. I wouldn’t make them wait until then before they can eat.

Grim. Clearly not the type to pay for room service to save us from their stinkiness

Exactly, I will happily sit around in jammies all day at home but in a hotel, me and the kids are getting dressed before walking down corridors getting into lifts and dining in the restaurant. What ever age my kids are. Just get dressed!

Just no.

Doesn't matter who it is, it is just wrong.

It is lazy and slobby. It takes 3 secs to throw on some clothes

Nothing more needs to be said.

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.

I don't who 'told' you that, but they made it up, because it's bollocks.

It is utter bollocks. Try behaving like this at The Ritz and see how you get on.

@bubble you may want to read through my posts again. I too actually think it's grim.

Oh and on the two hours thing since a number of people have a weird compulsion to police threads by themselves at the moment I'll bite. I have an autistic DS who once had a 90minute meltdown because he couldn't wear odd socks to school.

Somehow I don't think that would go down well at The Ritz.

Yes I have read it and understand you think it a bit grim. Just confused as to the relevance of you not wanting to get dressed today.

tempstamos, are any of them school age? A morning routine of two to three hours is surely unsustainable on school mornings?
My kids leave home at 7.30

Also my dcs are normally more enthusiastic getting ready for hotel breakfast because it's not something we do every day and who doesn't love a hotel breakfast!

lamagrey think most people are on half term at the moment.

This morning I had to wake two of mine at 8am to leave the house clean/dressed/fed by 8.35.

In a hotel they'll be awake by 7am and we'll struggle to get to breakfast by 9am, and showers might well happen afterwards.

It's just one of those things, surely? Time taken to get ready expands to fit the time available until you have to leave.

@Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar

2 of the are (but one is now homeschooled). On a school morning I would take the little two on the school run still in their Pyjamas and wash and dress them when we get back. Is that a crime also?

Pyjamas outside the house?!

Because Scottish -pyjamas are practically like wearing underwear. That's how I feel at any rate. I can barely put the bins out in mine! I just don't want people to see what I look like in bed and I don't want to see what strangers look like in bed. Just get dressed!

I think this is one of the most precious things I've ever read on this site
