Today I popped to shops to get DD some shorts and t shirts. I hadn't planned on the weather being this warm for so long so didn't buy a load of hot weather wear.
I went to primark and they were out of their cheap shorts and low on t shirts in DD's size.
We went to the boys section (again no joy) where she spotted some short and t shirt pyjamas she liked. so i got her a couple of sets,thinking "well they are essentially shorts and t shirts, she can wear them".
We then went to DMIL, where DD showed off her stuff to DMIL and her DCousin.
This evening I have received texts from Dsil saying that I can't possibly send DD to school in them, that people will think she's neglected. I texted back explaining that they are shorts and t shirts (thinking she probably just been told pyjamas by her 5 yr old DD) and sent her a pic. She is still adamant that it is inappropriate in this country (I come from France) and made worse by the fact they are boys pyjamas.
She is a person who has strong opinions batshit crazy at times,but I'm starting to second guess myself.

Send her! Equally you can always break them up and pair them with other things to make them less obvious

@drspouse we were asked to dress DS in spots for children in need. Couldn't find anything except girls socks.

On the pyjamas - I think OP is nbu. DS has Ninjago t-shirts and pyjamas and he wears whichever is closest, as long as it had a Lego ninja on he's happy, and he's had shorts that were almost exactly like pyjama shorts. He's also worn his school Polo shirts to bed because he liked the school badge so much, not something I encouraged but given we had a terrible time getting him to school for a while anything he liked about it was to be encouraged (obviously he had a clean one on in the morning).
