To think alot of you are weird

[Mindmyown]

Clickbait title I know, but on the back of another active thread I'm genuinely curious about this.

I honestly think anyone that doesn't instantly change into comfy clothes (pj's or lounge wear etc.) As soon as they come home are seriously weird. How can you get comfy on the couch in fecking jeans 🙈 I also can't do chores in normal clothes, has to be old pj's.
If I'm not going anywhere for the day then I just shower and get into a different pj set. I can't stand wearing shoes indoors either, so slippers are lined up on the shoe stand near front door.
My kids don't even need to be asked, once they come home from anywhere (shool, shopping etc.) They take off shoes and go change into comfy clothes. I'm in no way a germaphobe, it's not related in any way to cleanliness, its just comfort.

This was not my upbringing, my dad ran his business from our home so there was always alot of traffic at our home, people coming & going. So we always had to be fully dressed, hair neat with shoes on from early morning till evening. He thought, and still thinks, wearing pj's during the day looks dirty or lazy.

So anyway:

YABU - I don't change as soon as I get home, you are the weirdo.
YANBU - yep, always instantly into fluffy socks and stretchy bottoms.

I've just seen @Twillow comment, that is horrible.

I wfh and dress for comfort. Not full-on pajamas but I wear leggings and a comfy top and am barefoot all day.
I'm always clean, teeth brushed etc so I don't feel slobby.

Please refrain from insulting other people

perhaps don’t start a thread entitled “you lot are weird” OP and your plea for other to refrain from insults might be taken more seriously!!! 😂

I agree, this tread wasn't meant to be taken so seriously, I gave the vote option for others to call me the weird one if they disagreed. But some of these replies are really heated and insulting ... I didn't think people would have such strong opinions about loungewear or pj's.... plus I didn't "insist" others are weird.. I said I think people are a "bit" weird, no where have I insisted that I'm right, it was meant to be lighthearted.

I'm sure you meant it as light-hearted, but that's the way these things go. To be fair, you did say that people coming home and not changing are "seriously weird", so that's been picked up on.

Yep I love my comfy clothes.
The only exception is when I'm too lazy to get changed when I get home and just collapse on the sofa 😂

I have some hippy harem pants/trousers that I wear around the house, thy are mega comfy (better than pj’s) but when it’s cold I wear pj bottoms and/or a oodie. My jeans usually come straight off when I get in the door.

Okay so question...are we all talking about the same kind of loungewear?

My "slob" clothes are outfits like this: www.thewhitecompany.com/uk/Rib-Trim-Cashmere-Hoodie/p/A02316?swatch=Cloud+Marl

Or are we talking glittery rainbow PJs with a picture of rudolf on the front and "live laugh love" embroidered on the butt?

£189 cashmere hoodie around the house? Within an hour I'd have pasta sauce or coffee down it ☹️

I generally get dressed. PJs have no pockets for my phone and I’m super uncomfortable without a bra. I get that bras are structured, and lots of women don’t like them (because I understand people are different from me and that’s normal and fine) but I can’t bear my boobs flapping about all over. It feels awful to me. I put on a bra and clean my teeth the moment I wake up. Not bothered about anything else, myself.

I have had times where I don’t go out much (mat leave) where I’ve loafed around in ‘active wear’, and just changed after a shower. Works fine for me. If all my clothes were comfy and practical enough to sleep and be up in, I probably wouldn’t differentiate. I don’t see that it matters. Atm I have lots of character PJs they are obviously PJs, but I’m gradually changing over to leggings with pockets and then will likely give up ‘getting dressed’ as an official thing. I have to go out every day with the dogs, so I can’t live in obvious pjs. I just don’t think it matters very much.

TBF, you said in OP:

I honestly think anyone that doesn't instantly change into comfy clothes (pj's or lounge wear etc.) As soon as they come home are seriously weird.

Which is a bit rude - but it’s okay cos when you did it, it was tongue in cheek.

Seriously? ... I said in the title "a bit weird", then admitted in my post, (first line), that the title was clickbait & gave the vote option to call me weird instead. I even said I grew up in a home that wearing pj's or lounge wear all day was unacceptable, so I'm fully aware there is no "one normal" and every one is different. But I didn't insult anyone, just asked if you thought I was weird or if you change into comfy clothes at home.

Calling people scruffy, slobbish, invalid etc. Is a bit below the belt if I'm being completely honest. You cn easily say you prefer to stay dressed in regular clothes all day and call me weird but some of the replies are nasty.

I can't sleep in pyjamas but live in them when I'm at home too . I can't sit around in my outside clothes either . But I take them off to go to bed 😂

er no op.
reaf your own thread title

no “bit”!

To think alot of you are weird

There's a big different between saying someone's way of doing something is weird, and then calling someone scruffy, slobbish, invalid and implying there husbands can't possibly be attracted to them ... again the vote option allows you to disagree and say my way of doing something is weird, if you want to add a reply calling me weird then that's expected too I'd hardly get offended by it ... its the added insults that are really not necessary ... instead of banter and lighthearted they just read very mean spirited ... to add a spanner in hhe works I actually hate not wearing a bra, even under pj's and lounge wear, and I know loads of women would thing that's weird and I wouldn't take it as a personal attack

I do , but I don't own any joggers - or jeans for that matter.

My weekend clothes are joggers and a hoodie. I wear them out and about, no issue.
First thing I do when I get in is shoes off and wash my hands. I'm not in the least bit bothered about clothes, but I hate feeling like I'm spreading all the outside germs and dirty around the house!

I don't own pyjamas or any sort of 'loungewear': I'm always ready to go out, I have animals and do a lot of sport: My jeans are very comfortable because they are the right size:
Each to their own, I wouldn't criticise anyone else for changing into something more comfortable, but for me it just isn't practical

I wear smart clothes for work and change into a less smart non- work wear dress when I get home.

I'm not at work today and am wearing a non work dress at home, which I wore when we went out shopping this afternoon.

I couldn't bear the thought of slobbing around in pyjamas during the day unless I were actually ill. I don't own joggers, sweatshirts, t-shirts or jeans

I'm totally with you, OP. Been doing it since I was a kid. As soon as I came home from school, college or work or even just after a leisurely day out. Clothes were off, PJ'S on. That was me done for the day.

Also, I am one of those "disgusting" people according to Mumsnet standards who keeps the same clothes and PJ's on for days before putting them in the wash. Anybody who washes their clothes after only one wear is quite frankly a true weirdo. Wasteful too.

I've even stopped wearing bras now.

My comfort comes before anybody else's unsolicited opinions.

Ah, see I wouldn't pay a lot for any item of clothing. Charity shop all the way for me so I can spill food down it and not care.

Oh crap my apologies, your totally right I should of reread ... but I still believe there's a big difference between "weird" and some of the the proper nasty responses.
The vote option allows you to tell me that I'm the weird one, or you could post and tell me you think I'm seriously weird & I wouldn't get offended as weird is subjective and we all do some things others would find weird.
I guess I was naive expecting to just be called weird or replies saying they agree with my dad. I wasn't expecting the replies like slob, invalid and such, or insinuated my partner cant possibly find me attractive.

This is a bit late in the game, but can I just take a second to apologise to anyone that does actually find my use of "weird" as insulting or offensive, it was meant to be a little cheeky, I didn't think anyone would have such strong feelings about it... if I did genuinely offend you I am actually very sorry. It's not considered a particularly offensive term in my circles but I understand this is not everyone's experience.

@ofwarren

that must be really restrictive in terms of outfit choices, if you’ll only wear something that’s as comfy as pj’s

I love coming home and putting on my pjs and changing out of my day clothes…. BUT

as I’ve had to WFH more and when I need to GSD like cleaning etc I have to get dressed - even Christmas Day - everyone else is in their PJ but I’ll be dressed as I can’t think properly in pjs (😂🫣)

I don’t see anyone as “weird” for their choice of clothing at home.

What I find “weird” is that anyone would think this, and even more “weird” to start a thread about it!
