AIBU to hate mums who turn up to drop off kids in pyjamas

AIBU to hate mums who turn up to drop off kids in pyjamas?

Mainly because these are the same ones who are also usually swearing in public and shouting down their mobile phones, and/or their kids.

@MiscUser9823

What problems? People in their PJs? Does the job centre wear PJs too?

I don’t think I’d be bothered by how another parent dresses. I’d be more concerned if their DC was dirty or inappropriately dressed (ie in summer clothes in winter with no coat, which I do see and it breaks my heart).

Why do you waste energy “hating” a random for what they wear? It literally has no impact on your life!

@Doona

Eh, it's all about context. Sounds like it's about more than just sleepwear being worn in public.

Being an almighty judgemental snob.

I did say off topic. A previous previous poster said my area didnt sound very good. So just responding to a response to the response to the original other posters post.

@RootyT00t

Perhaps, but one that doesnt wear pyjamas in public

Oh my god once again mumsnet likes to turn it, I can't even find the right phrase I want. OP I don't hate them nor do I see them at my school but yes it would look slobby, trampy and a bad impression on your children. You can't even be bothered to change your clothes, that's completely lazy and if I was a teacher I would judge those mums that turned up in pjs.

Are you aware that your judgements on other people just don’t matter OP? They sure as hell won’t give a shit so why are you wasting your energy on observing other people and “hating” them? Worrying about what example they’re setting for their kids is a bit extreme isn’t it?

Oh I see.

I wear pyjamas in public.

Regularly.

So do my pals.

We all have professions and they have kids.

Is that OK? Is there like a scoreboard?

Trampy

Thank god you're not a teacher.

Can I ask why you wear pyjamas in public? Is there a particular reason?

(Profession is irrelevant to this. I may have gone off topic earlier on a couple of posts).

passing overtly classist and slightly sexist judgments on other people doesn’t set a fantastic example either

This. You should perhaps be a bit more worried about the example you’re setting to your children OP.

@RootyT00t

If they turn up in pj's and are shouting/swearing, maybe theyre having a tough time. Over the years, I've turned up on tears, with vomit all down my front, shouting at the kids. I wore my slippers once, by mistake. Must be nice to be someone who never has bad days like that.

And yes, there were days in winter where my boys absolutely refused to put on coats so I let them go without, thereby breaking a swathe of other mothers hearts.

Nothing sexist or classist.

This applies to men and women equally! (But haven't seen any dads in PJ's yet)

As for class, nothing to do with it again. I know plenty of hard working class people, being one myself!

Because I want to, I like to, and I can.

And I'm not a horror who judges other people based on their clothes.

Yes you may have done just a bit.

I specifically buy pyjamas that are plain and dark colours so I can just throw on my coat and go out in them without it being obvious! Including nursery run.

And given the children setting example, I know out of a pj wearing woman and a snobby, nasty woman who the best example is.

@RootyT00t

Im honestly not trying to be an arse (promise). But I honestly disagree with people wearing pyjamas in public. Its something my parents (and their generation) would never have even considered acceptable. We have got to draw the line somewhere and stop lowering the bar.

My parents don't like it either.

I just laugh in my mother's face that she thinks she can tell a 30 year old woman what to wear.

They're just clothes. And they really say nothing about a person.

You can still be working class and be classist and snobby OP. You’re stereotyping and making judgements about people based on those stereotypes. I would hands down prefer my kids to know a few swear words and how to use them than have the entitled attitude of stereotyping and being judgemental about other people.

Similiar to talking on mobile speakerphone in public, or playing music on phone, or having a casual mobile conversation on your mobile whilst on the train. Its just what I was taught as not being acceptable behaviour.

OP that bar is how you treat and speak of other people OP, not the clothes they wear.

@RootyT00t

Does she actually? Lol.

Fair enough, i guess we can only agree to disagree. Does your mother have a MN account? We need to get her on here!

@MiscUser9823 those things are rude and anti social.

My blue Harry potter pyjama bottoms are not.

@CuthbertDibbleandGrubb

I would not allow someone in pyjamas onto school premises. Make them wait off the premises, even in non-Covid times.

If the police had the powers, I would want them to breath test those who drive having not got dressed properly. Lateness in getting up can follow from evening drinking still in the bloodstream.

I don't drink. I also don't sleep in pyjamas. Me showing up in PJs actually means I got up and got dressed/changed.

Then there's the question of what you consider PJs. Is it just the fuzzy ,fluffy stuff? Sleeping teddy bears print? Seen in the loungewear department?
