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.

Clothes in the day, nothing in bed. I don't wear pyjamas unless it's absolutely freezing and then only in bed, never any other time.

Sorry to be pedantic OP, but it's a lot not alot - that word doesn't exist.

Just buy clothes that fit instead of squeezing into uncomfortable jeans that are probably a size too small.

No I don't wear pjs all day because I don't own pjs. Also I have kids. Also, if your husband comes home and you're in pjs, it's not a good look and suggests you have been in bed all day or are a bit of a slob. So no.

I hate the word PJs, don't own any and find it very weird how obsessed people on here seem about pyjamas and 'comfys'.

My normal clothes are comfortable, and I'm not afraid of the air outside my home so I don't feel the need to get changed as soon as I enter the house.

I immediately thought of the thread you are referring to when I read your title, but I’m in the other camp and think you are the weirdo.

I always wear comfy clothes at home. Not PJs, but joggers and hoodie usually. I wouldn't think someone was weird for wearing smarter clothes though as it's just personal preference. My way is a bit annoying sometimes as I won't go out the house in joggers so have to change if I need to pop out again. I always find US TV shows funny when the women are dressed in amazing outfits and heels just for everyday casual wear! I wish I could be arsed to look like that but alas I cannot 😄

The minute I get home my shoes come off and if I know I'm not going back out
I put on lounge wear, shower later then PJs.

I am somewhere in the middle, I like to be comfy so may change once I know I am not going anywhere else or may stay in comfies on a lazy Sunday but more often then not we are in and out of the house all day so dont get changed every time. And I dont find my jeans all that uncomfy, work dresses I usually take off as soon as possible.

Oh, and as per the thread title, yes I am weird, but not for not wearing pyjamas at every opportunity.

Also, the "alot" comments made me think of this:

Are you Jacob Rees Mogg?

It's just a personal preference. Just because someone does something differently to you, that doesn't make it 'weird'.

I sometimes change into pyjamas in the evening, maybe after a bath or something, but certainly not always. I'm usually perfectly comfy in my jeans; I wouldn't wear jeans if I wasn't. I wouldn't relax on the sofa in, say, a smart skirt and tights, but I'm completely comfy in jeans and a top. I don't ever wear pyjamas in the day-time unless I'm ill. On my feet I usually wear slippers or flip-flops in the house, or I just have bare feet.

I'm physically uncomfortable if I don't wear a bra! I've got massive knockers, which I'm guessing is a factor. I've just learnt to be ultra-picky about style and fit I think, over the years. If I'm in my normal clothes, I'll always be wearing an underwired bra, basically. If I'm in pyjamas I'll be wearing a non-wired bra or a supportive crop top underneath.

Don’t you or your children ever go out again after they get home from school? Or would you shower and change every time you re enter the house?

And no apostrophe in PJs either. To make an acronym plural add an s without an apostrophe.

(Completely misses the point of the thread)

ah1950 has been looking for you!

I wear clothes that fit me, so I don't have uncomfortable clothes I want to take off ASAP.

No shoes in the house, sliders in summer, slippers in winter.
Not pj's but leggings and hoody or large t-shirt. Wouldn't be embarrassed to answer the door and couple nip to the car without looking too shabby.
Work clothes straight in the wash, could never sit around wearing them.

Do you meet him at the door with a martini, fresh lipstick and a bow in your hair?

Send him off to sit down while you present the children before bed then serve him dinner?

Getting changed each time you come into your house is strange imo.

Unless I’m dressed up for a wedding or major night out, my clothes are all comfortable enough to wear in the house….I don’t find jeans or other trousers uncomfortable. I’m more comfortable with an underwired bra than with no bra. And unless you are wiping your clothes on your pillow, toothbrush, food prep surface, crockery or cutlery, ‘outside’ germs don’t worry me. We wear shoes in the house, I’m not too concerned about ‘germs’ on the floor as I rarely touch it. Happily have a nap in my bed while wearing clothes I’ve worn outdoors.

YANBU. I change after coming home. Not into PJs unless it's bedtime, but into clothes that are comfortable and I'm not that bothered if they get covered in pet hair, ripped or stained.

Yabu I Don change chlothes when I am back from work as all my chlothes are comfortable as I Don't need to wear suit. We are allowed to wear what you want as long as it is not indecent!!!

This! I don't really care about the rest of the thread!

@JackieDaws

Are your pjs made of denim?

God no. But I do have a job that means people can call me/come to the door/expect me to come out pretty much 24/7.

I wear comfy clothes to work. Hope that answers your question.

I agree with your father. It just seems lazy.
