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.

Aftermath of the disease, the spores can last for 2 months and are contagious so it's continual washing

@ThePerfectDog People saying they just don't get washed changed at all. Jusr literally staying in pyjamas all day.

Maybe I am just old. My mother is very much a dressed and make up on every day type of woman. I supppose you just follow the example you're set?

That sounds exhausting, I hope you feel better soon

I still don't know what you are on about I think washing sheets every day is excessive and unnecessary.

It's not minging every now and then unless you've spilled food or drink down yourself but it's not for me either.
Days in pjs remind me of feeling ill

I don't think it's any of my business what other people do in their own homes.

For me, I love a good PJ day but I'll usually take a shower and get into clean PJs first. But if that's not what other people want to do, it's not really any of my business.

Grown adults can do as they like, although I think if you behave as though you are depressed by consigning yourself to stay indoors all day and cementing that decision by making yourself so unready for the day that you remain in your night clothes, then you diminish your mental health.

But consigning children to this half life is really bad parenting and robs children of the chance to not only go out but to feel like they have had a meaningful day and they are worthy of being a part of it. Not just whiling away time between one sleep and the next.

What people wear at home is their business so I wouldn't judge but I feel better if I get dressed, even if it's just into a t-shirt and sweatpants.

@SheepAndSword God that sounds exhausting for you. Every day. Washing bedding is a chore weekly never mind daily.

It's really not that deep.

Dear me I hope you are better soon .

Really? Miserable is, as miserable does.

Really you think children should be out of the house every single day ?

I do not get dressed, iykwim, I put clothes on (old, comfy, loungy ones or shorts and Tshirt, depending on weather), wash face, moisturiser, brush hair.
But if I am ill, I will happily sit on my PJs in bed for the whole day.
We do also throw clean robes on top of the lounge clothing to watch TV if getting a bit chilly. Including under throws.
So we are not at our best look at home, that is for sure.

It's only for the time being, the spores are finite but I don't want anyone else to get infected. If some get on bedding and then I touch a surface I could inadvertently leave them there and someone else could pick them up. I'm doing my best!

Anyway back to daytime pj wearing...

I couldn't spend the full day in my pjs I think I'd feel blahhhh.
I feel refreshed to get dressed and ready for the day ahead.
But obviously everyone is different and what works for me doesn't for others 🤷‍♀️

I think they should be able to go out of the house every single day, yes. Whether they do or don't is one thing but deciding at the outset and making unnecessary barriers to making it happen is shit.

This 'sweaty smelly and minging' is not how I wake up! So perhaps you are a particularly smelly sweaty person. However, what you choose to wear in your own home is really no other fuckers business to judge or use horrible school yard language about. So many people like to look down on others for stupid reasons in order to feel superior. Just stop it.

Oh good lord, the disease has been treated. It leaves behind contagious spores which are active for approx 2 months. I'm not answering anymore questions on this.

I just knew this would be your personal family example. I think you're being too judgemental and that's not a healthy approach to things. Better to focus on your positive choices.

It’s not so much that I think it’s minging: I don’t think it’s a hygiene problem, I just think it’s really slobby. As a PP said it just puts you in a “can’t be arsed” frame of mind.

It’s fine on an easy like Sunday morning vibe for a bit. I think spending the whole day in your pyjamas just makes you not do anything.

I agree with the first response about mental state, never mind if you had to leave the house at no notice.

I couldn’t stay in my Pj’s all day. I need to get changed to feel like my day has started. I can however keep my dressing gown on all day!
Even if I’m feeling sick I still change into comfy clothes like leggings and a big tshirt to just lay around in.
I can totally see why people would just stay in PJ’s though - saves on extra washing, plus it will feel like you’re having a proper lazy chill day to relax. It’s probably fun for the kids as well.

The horror that people may sit in their pjs all day. I must be so full of grossness. How can I cope. U are being ridiculous.

I don’t think that is usual though to feel that gross after just being in bed for the night. In my house we usually have a bath in the evening then go to bed. I feel much cleaner waking up than from being at work all day, but I don’t get changed into fresh clothes each evening.
