To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I visited Amsterdam last year and was shocked to see an apparently middle class women coming down to breakfast in her pj's,dressing gown and slippers. Similarly going round Tescos where there are people, especially women in pj's and slippers. No doubt I'll be called an old right wing fascist or something.

I think that's normal. I've never actually been out anywhere in night clothes and cannot imagine it but I put bins out and go in the garden in dressing gown or pyjamas, so do most people. There's nothing wrong with that.

When I had a school child I also went to work part time, two and, later, three days a week. On work days I would get up earlier and leave the house well groomed and smart, on my days off I'd get up, quick wash and teeth clean, throw on joggers and take son to school. I'd bathe and dress nicely later. That was normal too, I wasn't going to faff around blow drying my hair and putting on make up just to drop off at school - but I was wearing clothes, not pyjamas :-). I've never seen anyone out and about in pyjamas anyway, only heard of it on here and facebook.

Some of my pyjamas look like leisure clothes or joggers, whatever, I could probably get away with it :-). Not a frilly nightie though, and slippers. At 75 I think I'd frighten people.

I was talking about a hotel I was staying in in Shimla a couple of years ago. I am a great fan of India and its culture and visit every couple of years if I can with my Indian friend.

Maybe because I don't shop in Lidl. Spelling noted.

What on earth does the "jewellery and make up set" mean? Is it illegal now?

No, it’s no more illegal than wearing pyjamas to breakfast.

It means it's not necessary for every time you leave the house, and to be completely done up for things like the school run is pointless.

Much like you think PJ's are inappropriate (at breakfast, which honestly is a ridiculous thought), many people think spending so much time (and money actually, for make up) just to nip the kids to school or to run to the corner shop is silly.

It'd be a boring world if we were all the same, wouldn't it OP? So you carry on doing what makes you feel good and let everyone else do what suits them.

I can’t understand why it’s still here I would’ve thought they would remove the thread or at least do something about that title.

I'm sure there'd be outrage amongst pyjama clad parents if teachers started turning up to school in pyjamas (and before anyone says it, on a normal, non-charity day).

Teach my kids. Wear what works for you as long as it's not revealing. And I'm not one of the outdoor pj wearing massive.

Teachers go to WORK. Parents don't work in school.

For the record I've never taken my kids to school in pj's.
But some people do. You don't know what's going on in their households in the morning....they may have an autistic child who they're struggling to get ready for school so run out of time for themselves, or a school refuser, or a baby that's just vomited milk over itself.....anything like that can have a knock on effect very quickly.
When there are kids being killed by bombs in Gaza, then people in pj's are not something I worry about...

Hard to see what the war in Gaza has to do with people not bothered to dress and shower to go to the shops or to the breakfast buffet.

It means there's bigger things to worry about in the world than what someone else is wearing.

The government needs to crack down on it. People should not be able to walk about in pyjamas. It is not appropriate.

What crime are they committing?

That's not what this thread is about. Israel-Palestine that way>>>>>>>>

The crime of contributing to social breakdown.

I think judging people for something that is harmless, is more of an issue. Judging can turn onto something more extreme.

I mean, Sophie Lancaster was killed because some twats didn't like what she was wearing.

By the way, my Dad was a postman. I'm afraid I'm not from the middle classes as has been suggested but from the rather conservative working class who had very high standards of dress and decorum.

I mean it's an example.

There are many many bigger things in the world to worry about than whether someone is wearing pyjamas.

I think this forum is terrible for judging, full stop.

Do you mean that judging should no longer take place? Like judging someone for rape and condemning them so they can no longer commit any harm?

Yeah but this thread is about wearing pjs in public.

Someone wearing PJs in public is not causing anyone any harm. If it is causing you harm, then get some therapy as that is not healthy. Must be really exhausting to be thinking about such things all the time.

If it offends people, it is causing harm to people.
