well yes, maybe they needed something and couldn't leave child with anyone? maybe it's a special treat and they will be able to sleep lots tomorrow?
dont' be so judgemental!

handlemecarefully · 20/04/2007 23:17

I'd be taken aback too!

handlemecarefully · 20/04/2007 23:17

Nah, it's chavvy

ILoveDolly · 20/04/2007 23:18

noooo wow what could be that urgent?

emkana · 20/04/2007 23:18

It's one of those things really where you can't and shouldn't make a judgement without knowing the full story, IMO.

hunkermunker · 20/04/2007 23:18

Maybe they needed medicine (or gin)?

I must admit I think that I usually think that
but I also see hanas point

unknownrebelbang · 20/04/2007 23:19

9pm's early for some........

Remember going to get my dad some cigars at about 3 am in the morning, and there was a bloke there with two tots in tow.

Apparently it happens throughout the night quite often.

ohDearie · 20/04/2007 23:19

SOunds like a special treat. Kids dont have to be in bed by 7 every night.

hana · 20/04/2007 23:19

could b e an adventure at that age and in your pjs
maybe

hunkermunker · 20/04/2007 23:19

Yours doesn't, HBG - mine does though. Loves going to Sainsbees

paros · 20/04/2007 23:20

I must admit I see it an awfull lot in my Tescos but I live near the airport so there are loads of shift workers and maybe this is the only time they can shop or maybe they only have one car . I think its a shame the kids are up so late but you dont see many crying or whinging . Its not my kids so hey why worry .

Oh I really don't get it.

Whilst there may be a milloin reasons for taking them out, I cannot imagine why it's necessary to have them out in nightwear?

A friends DD as a 5:30-6 swiming lession. She normally arrives in swimming costume with dressing gown over the top, with random shoes/boots. She normally arrives at 5:28-5:35, strips off in the public viewing area and darts into the pool. She gets her DS (18m) ready for bed in teh waiting area, and then her DD puts her PJs & dressing gown on and head home.

How long can it really take to get ready for bed when you get home? She ony lives 5 min drive away.

chipmonkey · 20/04/2007 23:27

hbg, was it hatrick you saw? She is a bit chavvy!

powder28 · 20/04/2007 23:28

Don't see the problem, it means they can be put straight to bed when they get home.

and would you go out in your nightwear?

obimomkanobi · 20/04/2007 23:30

They might have needed something urgently.

It's happened to me before, and once my kids are in their jama's they aint getting out of them!

handlemecarefully · 20/04/2007 23:30

Okay - it's probably not harming the children etc so why judge, but you've got to admit, it is odd!
