To think dressing kids the night before in the next day clothes is lazy?

[Sweetpeach3]

Just read it in the paper and I think "how fucking lazy can you be"
It states it's because it suits her life right now. She has 2 young kids- so do I but I have them fed. Up and washed and changed by 8/8.30 of a morning I don't see the problem?
I couldn't imagen going out in clothes I'd slept in an not having a shower to wake myself up an feel clean! Specially my DD hair if it's not washed if a morning she looks like she's been hit by a hurricane and nothing. I mean NOTHING sorts that shit out other then a proper shampoo and condition!!
Takes 10 mins to wash dress and sort 2 kids out if you put effort into it I just get up half an hour earlier to get myself ready then by the time I'm done I hear them slowly rise....
. Have your clothes ready the night before obviosuly but that's it. Imagen going out in creased sweaty clothes you'd slept in?? What on earth or am I missing something ?

Haven’t read the whole thread .. but I am 53 and my kids are grown up .. I work full time and always have ... Bath your children in the evening .. wash their hair .. wash and iron their school clothes .. brush their hair in the morning.. make sure they clean their teeth and get to school on time with everything they need for the day ... it’s not that hard

I can’t imagine not being able to spell imagine. Especially is with an E and it’s
really not healthy to wash your DD’s hair every day. But, each to their own...

I just don’t care tbh with you.

I really can't bring myself to get worked up about this. Can't believe there's 10 pages of posters getting annoyed about it. I saw people in town yesterday wearing pjs. It's odd but who cares.

I just had a look at Jordan Page and her bedtime routine. It’s the bigger kids who wear their next day clothes to bed. Her routine looked great to be honest, kids clean well fed and well behaved, mum and dad clean tidy lovely house. If it works it works 😊

First off, my kid would bake in clothes in bed, secondly, how bloody uncomfortable for them, poor kids. All those tight restrictive waist bands and buttons no thanks, it’s just pure laziness, not good timekeeping at all.

Getting into my pjs and then bed is one of my favourite parts of the day. I feel a bit sad so many people are missing out on this and sleeping uncomfortably for the sake of 3 minutes sleep!
Children don't need washing in the morning and it really does take less than a couple of minutes to put clothes on.

I can’t imagine not being able to spell imagine.

Ok to shower the night before and plait hair if necessary but not to sleep in clothes. Would only take 5 minutes to get dressed.

Saying this my brother (then aged about 14) would do this, get himself up, do a paper round and go to school.

I am truly surprised by this thread.

As an adult, I have not worn pajamas to bed for years. I basically wear T-shirt's and leggings, which I then usually wear the next day under some dress or long top. I have no need to wear formal/uncomfortable clothes during the day, so I can't see anything wrong with my 'time-saving' style. I haven't worn a shirt or ironed any clothes for years. I don't sweat at night and I shower in the evening.

My toddler wears cotton T-shirt's/ pajama tops day and night. No buttons, no zips. Why can't he wear the same cotton top to sleep in and for the next day? It's comfortable and he doesn't sweat at night, and he doesn't care about creases or style (neither do I). Are you guys suggesting that if an item of clothes is worn for 12 hours, it has to be washed?

It's just weird.. but I also wouldn't be putting DD in the shower and washing/conditioning/drying/styling her hair every morning either. I don't even do that for myself

It's also just as weird for a baby - what's the point? You've got to change their nappy anyway.

I dont think it's exactly lazy - but I do think it's a bit gross! Kids like to feel fresh; just like us. My two boys (5 & 10) would NOT stand for this! 😂
They like a nice warm shower before bed and sleep either in the nuddy or just pants. They have never worn PJ's (except when they were babies - obviously) to bed.
Each to their own, I suppose 🤷‍♀️

@michellejj you’re surprised by this thread? Do you really think it’s normal to wear legging and t-shirt to bed and just throw a dress over them the next day?!

I had planned to do this with my 1 year old when we went on holiday.
I dressed her for bed in an outfit (leggings & top) I was going to taker her to the airport in as we had to leave at 4am..
But in the morning I obviously had to change her nappy and I couldn't bring myself to take her out in slept in clothes!

No one in the future is ever going to be able to be as profligate as our generation has been with water.

OP what work or harm are they causing for you/anyone else by doing this?

None? Then it's not lazy.

I tried this when I was younger to speed up getting dressed in the morning. My mum thought I was too cold so bought me bedsocks!

Op, I haven’t read the article. People do what they have to do; some people find life hard. It’s sounds as though you just wanted to come on here to rave about how great you are - grammar, spelling and punctuation aside, of course.

I’m trying to think what’s more strange - bathing and dressing kids before bed for the next day or washing them and their hair before and after bed.... Although I wouldn’t have them in their clothes before bed I guarantee the former will have healthier hair and skin in the long run. Water wasting perhaps?

This is genius. It has never even occurred to me to do this. Perfect for holidays!
I don't think it's lazy or gross. Probably uncomfortable and a bit crumpled though. I personally don't want to look like I've slept in my clothes.

I'm also suprised by the horror of the kids not having a morning bath, or even morning and evening! Surely a single night time bath for your kids is adequate pre-puberty?

Well done you get your kids out by 8.30 OP. Some people have to be out before 7 and their days and their kids days are so long that maybe the 10 minutes it saves them is worth it to them. Also logically it makes more sense to put on clean clothes when they've just had a bath. I don't do this by the way but I couldn't really care if anyone else does

Nope that's grim.🤮
Rinse in the shower before bed - clean undies and vest top or pjs in winter. Full wash inc hair every morning, for me and dc’s. One has bad eczema which improved with more frequent washing. Skin cells die day and indie which can lead to staph infects plus sweat, environmental smells etc.
There's no way I could send them to bed in tomorrow’s clothes, whatever their age. Sheets changed every 4 days, towels every 2.
I hate to feel dirty/wiffy.

My son slept in his clothes on holiday this week but mainly because he forgot his pyjamas. He did take his tracksuit bottoms off to go to sleep though. As a one (or three) off for a littlee it’s fine but for every day, clothes are not comfortable to wear in bed.
