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?

That's part of the joy of a lazy wet half term

• chilling out in the pj's pottering around the house! I'm always dressed but the kids have loved being in pj's and onesies the last few days.

I think MNetters by default are generally uptight 🤔

@Cornettoninja rotfl too funny! Who would have thought gotta love the mumsnet uptights that walk amongst us.

I'm still in my pjs... so are the kids..

I agree with you op. I don’t find it disgusting but I don’t like it.
I’ll nag if anyone is still in pyjamas at midday.
If we’re at home then everyone just wears trackies, and if we need to pop to the shops or decide to go for a walk or whatever then we can go just as we are.
I just feel a bit foggy headed and lazy whilst I’m lounging in my pyjamas. I hate getting to the evening and realising I’ve done nothing all day including getting changed.

I don't give a shit either way

I can't imagine caring what people wear to lounge around the house

My husband hates seeing the kids in their PJs. He says that they must be dressed in the mornings. I dont mind the occasional PJ day, but do prefer that they're dressed by lunch time.

Ah @Mumoflil1, see I think we have to accept our own uptightness. The draw to MN, specifically AIBU, is pretty damning evidence.

I’m ok with that though

Are you the Grandma from The Gilmore Girls?

So when do you have a Pyjama Day?

Bet your SS loves coming to stay with you, OP

daytime PJ wearers here: I WFH and often spend the first hour or two of work in my PJs. I wonder if it's also a real teen thing - my two discovered a love of bed and lounging about as they hit their teens ... dsdin particular wears a dressing gown over his normal clothes and both of them gravitate to the comfiest clothes possible when not in school uniform...

I'm actually the same as you OP, I hate being in my pyjamas all day, it makes me feel really lazy and like I haven't properly got up. Me and my partner largely work from home and sometimes my partner will sit in his dressing gown all day, and it does make me feel a bit depressed, but I am aware that it just doesn't bother some people. Lots of people actively really like being in their pyjamas and it's part of their idea of a "cozy day", no real reason that being lazy all day in proper clothes is less lazy than being lazy all day in pyjamas, it just feels that way to me.

I wouldn't call it disgusting, though, unless they were actually sweaty/dirty, in which case I WOULD insist they get dressed. If they are clean just try not to let it get to you, it doesn't actually make any difference.

It’s 11.22 and we’re all still in our PJ’s here. The horror!

Kids were bathed last night so I’m not sure what’s disgusting about it 🤔 Agree with a PP re cleaning teeth though.
I showered this morning, blow dried hair and cleaned teeth and put some clean pj’s/loungewear on.
We’re not going out today. It’s cold wet and windy and we’ve been out ‘doing’ every day for the past 6 days.

We’re chilling, youngest is watching TV and playing with toys. Oldest is colouring. I’m on MN. It’s bliss!

I think you need to lighten up a little

DS (7) has spent this half term mainly in PJs, the weather here has been shit, no guests coming round, otherwise we would normally be dressed and out the house by 11am, he has brushed his teeth, had baths and changed in to fresh PJs for the nighttime.

I would also be spending my half term in PJs but I find my mental health gets worse if I dont at least get dressed

Nothing wrong with it if they've had a bath the previous night and put clean pjs on.

Mine did last night and will have another bath tonight and put clean pjs on before bed.

I was in my pjs til 11am but then showered as I'd got sweaty doing housework, yuck. I've put clean joggers and a t shirt on as we're staying indoors today, crafting and baking.

Lazing in pjs is only grim if the person is unwashed in dirty pjs.

I have separate lounge wear and nightwear. I prefer to change into loose jersey separates at home to avoid wear on my 'good' clothes. Might that be an option, have some inexpensive joggers and t-shirts available for lounging days?

It’s pretty disgusting to be contemplating your step-son’s wet dreams. Far more so than sitting around in pyjamas .

My 7 year old is naked most of the time. You would hate my house. I have more pyjamas than clothes 😂

@Fuckitwhynot I can tell you don't have many friend because you will no that friends compare notes and we can tell each other we are being unreasonable and have a laugh in the process .

I'm like Flippertydip. Get dressed mid morning and make sure kids get fresh air at some point each day. YABU OP but I understand your approach :)

11:30 here! Just dressed the baby. One in his boxers on his PS4 and the two older girls are still asleep.
I'm still in my dressing gown! Not even brushed my hair yet

You've lost it now OP. Are you picturing everyone in pyjamas as you post? Think of us in formal wear if it will help you calm down.

I am no longer in my PJs, I am showered and lounging about in my bra and pants.

If we don't go out we don't get dressed it saves on laundry

Part of the school holidays is having lazy mornings and a break from the rush of the school run
