To think DP is being a bit ridiculous

My DP hates me walking about the house in a vest and underwear, we have a taxi rank directly across from our house but a good enough distance that they wouldn’t see into the house clearly. We have big windows but no air con so particularly on these hot days I just cannot force myself into pj’s trousers with this heat.
He says clothes are respectful and does follow this himself and wouldn’t even answer the door for post without a shirt on but I’m not answering the door I’m just chilling out.
Maybe I should just wear the damned trousers and quit fighting him on it..
My legs just love the freedom 😂

@DeadSouth - thank you for the kind compliment x Blush

I heart your crying/laughing icon btw ... how do you DO that? (please ...)

Your nan is ACE, @spingtrolls!

I know that not all well paid jobs require long hours. My comment about her job was intended as a joke, as I had hoped the ! at the end of the sentence implied.

And of course clothes get sticky and sweaty, but they get washed anyway. I never wipe down furniture after I have sat on it. It's easy enough with some materials I suppose, but not all.

Is it THIS (see clip) that's worrying people ...?

@messolini9 she was ace, she died sadly around 20 years ago. Ahead of her time and never owned a pair of net curtains despite living on a very busy road. And the only time curtains were closed aside from bedrooms, was in the colder months.

The hanging washing outside threads always cracks me up. the hypocrisy and double standards about doing what we can for the environment, until it comes to clothes and drying outside is a no. Instead, the prefered option is bung everything in the drier because modern builds especially don't have space to dry inside.

Do not put pyjama bottoms or shorts on to placate him. Daft posters saying that who obviously haven't been mumsnetting long enough.

Make him articulate what he's getting so aerated about and then deal with it but don't be dictated to by him or any other male

I'm also from just outside Glasgow and when I'm too hot my DP suggests I take my trousers off and sit in my pants.
