AIBU but dressing gown at 10am outside!

[Tunsey]

Sorting my laundry out just now and hear a toddler outside. Take a look and grandmother (I think) walking toddler. Really cute. But she’s in her pyjamas and her dressing gown. AIBU to think this is odd?!

We are early risers so maybe that’s why I find this a little odd!?

Seeing people out in the street in the dressing gowns is not a surprise, but what is a surprise is walkin to the shops at quarter to ten this morning and seeing a group of about 10 kids all in their pjs and dressing gowns walking away from the mcdonalds with mcdonalds cups and food in hand. Just pure laziness.

Grandmother's can get away with lots of things, It is in their makeup to Get Away with it. I bet she would judge herself but feels The Toddler wants to go for a walk Now

is there an emothing for the shame of an errant apostrophe !

Grandmothers feel they can get away with things as far as their grandchildren are concerned. ime

Going to the garden in my PJs (don't own a dressing gown) yes. Walking out and about in the street, no. Maybe the toddler was about to have a melt-down and the woman decided fresh air, movement and distraction was the first priority. If so, mitigating circumstances, but otherwise no, I wouldn't. My first husband was a lot older than me and grew up in a fairly poor, but recovering and respectable, bit of London after the war. Being in the street in your dressing-gown was a sign of having given up - keeping your curlers in in public, not putting your teeth in, not looking after your kids, generally being sluttish and caving in to hard times. We're not dealing with rationing, no NHS, class sizes of 50 or picking our way through bomb-damage, but I think there's a residual feeling that keeping up appearances, being properly dressed in public is linked to moral fibre and resilience.

allthegoodnameshadgone im in Liverpool to and seen a group of kids with pj's and dressing gowns on walking away from mcdonalds, people seem to think it's some sort of fashion thing around here but to me it just looks tacky in the shops and schools.

I’ve seen a couple of women in pjs and dressing gown in the supermarket. People definitely look twice but it seems to be getting more common.
Once saw a young woman in full makeup and perfect hair in gold silk pjs in the petrol station around 8 pm.
Still looks odd to me, —speaking as someone who can stay in pjs all day—

I hate this. I don't like looking at people and knowing their sweaty genitals are only covered by a thin layer of jersey that's been clinging to them all night. Vom.

Or, if there is a type of person who sleeps naked but then gets up and puts on pyjamas - Why?? It takes fucking 60 seconds to get dressed max, just bloody do it.

On the very rare occasion that I've sat around the house in PJs I've realised in short order that I actually feel unwell, because I associate daytime PJs with being too ill for school/work.

Of all the shit that's going on in the world you chose to make a thread about this? I couldn't give a toss what people wore on a Sunday morning. Live and let live. This is so trivial it's actually embarrassing that someone has made a conscious effort to log on to the internet and write about it.

Are you sure she wasn't wearing a "robe coat"? They are quite the fashion at present, apparently.

Robe Coat

And yet you choose to post on the so called trivial thread

Oh I saw an American man in a robe coat buying a coffee on a train platform

Hope you phoned the police about this, OP! 👍🏻

I can honestly say that I've never, ever seen someone going for a walk in their dressing gown. I think I'd laugh in surprise!

I think it's more odd that you saw this at 10am and 11 minutes later posted about it here. Didn't you have anything better to do?

And I love my dressing gown. Although I would only ever go out to the bins (in back garden) wearing it.

Op, I would find it odd too as it's not the usual sight where I live either for people to walk the streets in pyjamas & dressing gowns.

@Slartybartfast how very astute of you to notice! Just because I think something is trivial doesn't mean I should not post my opinion on it. My opinion is that it is sad that we live in a time that people spend their spare moments writing on the internet about seeing someone outside in their dressing gown. I love mn which is why I am here however find threads like this tiresome. Maybe I thought my post would be a reality check but I guess that was wishful thinking!

'I'm standing in Macca Ds right now in my Muppets pj bottoms! (Was meant to go through the drive thru but the queue meant I would miss breakfast)'

Fantastic

She was covered and clothed. Why do you care if it's her pjs or a tracksuit top and bottoms. Or jeans and a t-shirt. Mind your own and stop being so bloody judgemental. They are more important things in life to be worried about.

A bit odd but I wonder if she was being kind and letting the toddler's parents have a rare lie-in, he started getting noisy so she thought she'd get him out of the house for a while but, if she'd stopped to get dressed, he'd have woken them.

I've just hung out two loads of washing in my Hello Kitty summer jim jams. I'd not be seen dead in them outside my back gate though.

Maybe granny didn't get a minute to herself and toddler was driving her demented

Was it bias stitched nylon on a frilly yoke

Or more of a baby doll

I don't like looking at people and knowing their sweaty genitals are only covered by a thin layer of jersey that's been clinging to them all night. Vom.

really?

I've got a tight and unforgiving dress on today and my non-sweaty genitals are covered by a heck of a lot less than that!

(mind you, my mother called me a harlot once for that...)
