Lounging in pyjamas - disgusts me. AIBU

[Mumoflil1]

Hi, so just after opions. So, apart from Christmas, I really don't like my children lounging in the house in their pyjamas - it's a real bug bear or mine. So, it's half term and my SS is staying with us. My bio kids are up, fed and dressed by 8.30. SS is older so wakes at 10am (I have no problem with that) but his dad has no problem with him staying in pyjamas until after mid-day. I think it sets a lazy precedent and personally find it quite disgusting. AIBU? Bit too extreme?

I do like us to be dressed by the time lunchtime rolls around. Having said that I finish work at 4pm and I'm desperate to get my pjs on as soon as I get in

Unless it's very cold, I sleep naked but put pj's on until I have a shower and dress.

At weekends, if we're not going out, I'll stay in them all day. I expect to spend most of my retirement in pyjamas, they're so comfy.

I don't get the lazy comments I must say. The most grueling bits of my PhD write up were done while sitting on my bed, wearing my PJs. I can assure everyone they were the least lazy days of my life.

People swear alot at night

I do swear a lot at my snoring husband, this is true.

DS frequently just wears pants all day. He tells me it’s good as it’s saves me on washing! DD often wears the same PJs for days on end. And I find that the time I start to fantasise about getting in my dressing gown when I get home from work is getting earlier and earlier each day!

Those of you who like to wear your nightwear during the day - please tell me you get changed if you have visitors!

Depends who it is. If I know in advance someone is coming then I'd be dressed. If a friend just knocks on for a brew and a chat they'll have to take me as they find me. The only people who do that are good friends and are aware of my aversion to clothes!

I’m dressed now in lovely clothes, need to do my hair and make up before DH comes home!

I hope you're warming his slippers and mixing him a martini @PlomBear. Don't let your standards slip.

Lounging in pjs is one of life's little huge pleasures. There's just a bone deep relaxation in it. It seems to say "Relax! There's nothing important today except YOU".

I have sleeping pjs and lounging pjs. What's the difference? None, except I don't sleep in my loungers.

I have the house to myself today so I plan to do nothing but lounge around in my pjs watching films and MN'ing.

This post made me go and get my comfy joggers on. Pj days are nice now and again. I have in between clothes aswell that I don't actually go outside in but I don't sleep in them, they're the comfys. 😂. It's a bit regimented to be up and dressed by 8.30. my son likes to sit around in pants and dressing gown too. I hate to sit around in jeans etc, it's just so uncomfortable. Also in half term after kids have been so busy with school it's good to let them recharge.

With everyone in pyjamas until noon I'm surprised how few of you work

Its half term, I would guess a lot of people would have taken holiday to look after their children, maybe some of us work shifts, maybe its just a day off for some.

Some could be stay at home parents or unemployed, but there could be a shit ton of reasons as to why people are not working today

Yab seriously u.

Neither ds(6) nor I got dressed at all on Tuesday. Bloody marvellous it was.

We ate cake, watched cartoons and napped. It was much needed.

Oddly enough by yesterday morning the massive black circles under our eyes and slightly peaky complexions that have been unshiftable for the last couple of weeks had vanished.

It's not for me. I might not get changed immediately at the weekend, but PJs are not for lounging around the house for me - not warm enough, I'm forever popping in and out on errands, and I'd probably keep falling asleep as I'm conditioned to only be wearing PJs at bed time .

I don't really like the kids wearing PJs in the day either (DS wouldn't, DD does sometimes), as it annoys me if I want to quickly pop out, they're not ready.

I could understand your disgust at people lazing about it dirty pjamas all day, for days on end. But to have the odd chill out day in your comfies? One of life's blessings! Let your kids chillax in their jim jams

I don't like PJs in the day either. I haven't read all the thread so I don't know how old he is. I'm guessing he is older than your biological kids though. My kids, who were always up at 7am on the dot, are now teenagers and they sleep in so much. I never thought it would happen but it has. I'm at work this week and they are off. I insist that they are dressed when i come home for lunch but left to their own devices I don't think they would. I think give him some slack and boundaries but don't be so disgusted. Yours will be similar when they reach that age, bet you...

You’ll be pleased to know I have progressed from just wearing briefs and I’m now wearing sweat shorts as we’re expecting visitors in a bit.

And a t-shirt, I hope - please tell me you’re not planning to be topless when your visitors arrive < not envy.

Erm myself and my 4 DD's are still in our pjs and no ones showered yet, no proper food has been eaten it's been mostly toast,crisps and a chocolate. It's half term 🤷🏻‍♀️

You find it 'disgusting?' Really? I feel a bit sorry for your own kids if you're that uptight about a child not being dressed, washed and ready for inspection by a certain time. They are at home not in the army barracks ffs.

We're having a pj day today, first day i've been home all day with the kids since xmas hols and making the most of it!

My eldest and is to get dressed but my husband, middle and youngest like to stay in pjs if we are not going out anywhere. I don't care. It's less washing and ironing for me to do at the end of the day so I'm all for it really.

If the kids are up I do ask them to get washed and dressed before watching tv etc only because it takes them an age to get ready. However if I know we’ve no where to go after sports on a Sat or Sunday my youngest frequently will shower and put his jammies on .
If my kids were a bit older I wouldn’t mind at all & if it was a step-child who has a different story at of going I definitely wouldn’t impose something un-necessary on them, let him be comfortable .

We get up and get dressed in this house, yet miraculously still manage to lounge about relaxing. You do not have to wear pyjamas to achieve this. It means we are in a fit state to be seen if someone rings the doorbell or calls in for coffee. We never stay in the house all day, either, as that’s minging, too, so would need to be dressed to get out and do something. I think it’s grim and slovenly to stay in pyjamas all the time, and I don’t care if they are clean or if you’ve slept in them. Get some bloody clothes on.

I am aware I may be in the minority and assume it’s my upbringing. I don’t eat in the street, slurp pop from a can or behave in an anti-social way on public transport, either.

I planned a pj day for Tuesday my first day off. In fact I stayed in bed all day reading and only got up and four to quickly tidy up before my husband got home. It was lovely!

My dd is still in her pjs now and my ds is still in bed. Nothing wrong with the odd lazy day.

The only clothing for in the house rule we have is that the absolute minimum is pants - DS2 has asd, and likes feeling air on his skin, but I draw the line at skid marks on the sofa...

Nothing wrong with it. It’s half term, the kids can wear what they want and are allowed to take it easy.
However, what I don’t like, it’s adults wearing pyjamas (when not sleeping) or sportswear (when they are not exercising) during the day. UGG footware gives me the same reaction. Who wants to be a slob like that?! Only concession are flattering clean jogging bottoms when cleaning or doing DIY.
