To think staying in your pyjamas on stay at home days is minging?

[Iaminthefly]

A mum has just posted on one of my SM groups saying that she never gets herself or DC out of their pyjamas if they are having a day in the house. She asked if other people do the same. Loads of people have responded saying they also don't dress themselves or DC if they aren't planning on leaving the house.

AIBU to find this a bit minging? Fair enough if you're ill or as a one off, but every time you are home? Who want's to sit around all day unwashed in clothes you've had on all night? Also surely it's setting a terrible example for your children?

Maybe I'm just an old dinosaur but I think it shows a shocking lack of any standards.

Feel free to tell me I'm old and out of touch.

Where I live, the corner shop is visited in pyjamas and now children are taken to school in them... lots of sitting on doorsteps on phones in them too...
Some days I really don't feel like getting dressed but if I didn't my mental health would suffer...

We always get showered and into ‘loungewear’ if having a stay at home day. Makes you feel better - also prefer to look at least slightly presentable if the delivery man rings the bell or if I get stopped by a neighbour on the way to the bins. I think it’s my age tho

I often wonder this, although it isn’t as bad as those who go out to the shops or to collect their kids from school in their pyjamas.
If I’m ever having a lazy day, then I’ll put my leggings or jogging bottoms on with a baggy t shirt and hoodie.

I sleep stark bollock naked, I sometimes get out of bed and put my PJ’s on. I have a severe back injury and do not want day clothes on as they are much less comfortable. Each to their own, no one else’s business.

Perhaps they get changed into their good popping-to-the-shops jammies.

A couple of Mums near me stand out in their dressing gowns over their regular clothes watching their children play. I wonder why not just put a coat on.

Ha! I have been going to the shop with my pyjamas underneath my trousers and coat for years. Obviously I would get dressed if I was staying out or meeting up. If it's a grab and go I'm not hanging about.
(Off she swans with a whiff of Guerlain and oversized shades 😎...)

GOOD.

The odd one day here and there might be ok but more than once a week is pretty slovenly but then I'm an old dinosaur tool

The ‘loutfit’ - my very own word for lounge-outfit - I’d love it to catch on. Have a shower but put joggers / harem pants / leggings on and a hoodie or t shirt. Fluffy socks if it’s chilly. Then if someone comes knocking on the door etc or you need to the shop - you’re covered. Best of both!

I have significant health issues and spend a lot of time at home. I get dressed every single day unless I have a virus or otherwise in a very acute spell of illness. Sitting around in PJs doesn't work for me. It worsens my mental health. But we are all different.

How do you know what they do around it? I shower in a morning, see to my personal hygiene etc. Then, put clean (not the same) pj's back on if I'm going nowhwhere.

I don't wear pj's anymore than two nights anyway. Only 2 nights if I haven't worn them on the day. If worn during the day, I change them on the night for bed.

If I've a friend nipping round, I've got a drawer of older clothes I have just for the house.

For me personally, having health conditions wearing loose clothing at home that is comfortable is better for me.

Just cos the person wears the pj's at home doesn't mean they haven't seen to their personal hygiene

I’m fine with the occasional “jammy day” where we just slob about. If it’s a bit grim it doesn’t really matter as we’re staying in and not seeing people anyway!

You're old and out of touch.

How sweaty are you that you'd class it as minging?

I spend as much time at home in my dressing gown as possible. Hence my username.

Wearing the same PJs all day and night for days on end is minging.

Only wear PJs when going to bed and breakfast before work.

If unwell or off work recovering from surgery (had several) I have some dossing at home clothes.

I also find the matching PJs that families wear on Christmas Day is very chavvy and just SM attention seeking.

Pre DC I used to do this. I’d shower in the evening after a day of night before’s pyjamas and put a clean pair on for bed.

Haven’t done it in 4 years now as I just can’t fathom an entire day at home with my eldest DC. He’d be utterly feral. We were those people out in the park on Xmas day morning burning through some energy. I can’t ever imagine going back to it now, even if I had a day DC free. I like getting up and ready (even if that’s just face wash, hair brushed, teeth cleaned and day clothes on) and would feel stressed if I didn’t!

It’s those who go shopping, take DC to school and other things outside the home wearing PjS I finding minging

PJ wearing outside should only be done in these circumstances - hanging out washing, collecting the bin on bin day. Nothing else

I think the lady has died as house was sold.

The house opposite the entrance to the private drive where my fist is was wearing her fluffy dressing gown all day all year round (even at 35c) smoking away by her front door. I called her Fag Ash Lil

PJs are for bed. If I wore them past breakfast then I would feel I need to go to bed

Damn these fat people with their onesies ruining... I don't know exactly what... but they're definitely ruining something.🙄

Quite often in school holidays where we don’t need to be anywhere I will have a PJ day and won’t get changed. Or on a weekend if the kids are at their dad’s and I’m not required for taxi services I might. Nothing wrong with it. My teen frequently stays in PJs on a Sunday but then Sunday night she does shower and wash hair and put fresh on for bed. Youngest always seems to get dressed and even showered these days. She will go out to the shop at least if we aren’t doing anything.

I think if you aren’t socialising or seeing anyone then it’s up to you what you do with yourself and kids. When mine were younger we did sometimes have PJ days but they always had a bath and fresh ones of an evening if they’d been in them all day.

Are you my Auntie Joyce? She hated anyone who had the temerity to have a lie in (anytime past 07.00). She would proceed to vacuum in the same room as the miscreant - yes me, bone idle, always have been, who enjoys luxuriating stretched out in bed as long as humanly possible 😁

people are so bloody jusgemental! We are out nearly every day but if ever we get a free Sunday then sometimes we like to stay in our pj’s all day and just relax. Maybe play some games with the kids. I couldn’t do it all the time as I would get fed up but now and again I love it especially in the winter when it’s raining outside and we have the fire on. To say it’s minging or that we are consigning children to a half life or just nonsense!
