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.

You are really not coming across as a pleasant individual on this thread. But hey, at least you’re not working class, eh?

My Dad was a postman. I guess that makes me working class.

So it's only demeaning when 'the working class' do it. It doesn't lead to fecal matter on the street, etc, when the middle classes do it. They can handle it. It's the breeding, you know.

People do not demean themselves. Others choose to demean them. Other choose to make an issue where none exists.

Again, I raise the point that there was a time when women wearing trousers was seen as demeaning, immoral, etc.

I guess that was when standards slipped, huh?

Trousers and sleepwear are not the same. Sleepwear is worn in bed. As are slippers which they also traipse around in. You're not getting it are you? Imagine going out wearing slippers and treading all the germs around the house. Our shoes are left at the front door, as we did when living in Asia.

I have a teacher friend who did Zoom classes during lockdown. Any child that turned up in pjs was told to get dressed just as they would for a normal school day.

Wearing pyjamas or other sleepware in public should be banned outright.

Well said. Just do it. Apart from that it seems to be yet another revolting slob behaviour copied from Americans, like wearing the low hanging jeans where you can see underwear and crack.

I thought it was copied from the middle classes?!

Well. I wouldn't drop my children off at school or go for breakfast at a hotel in my pjs.

However, my mum used to drive me to the school bus stop (a couple miles, not walking distance) in her pjs.

I had an early start, about 6:30am. I thought it was kind of her to drive me. Sure it was a bit embarrassing with her turning up in her pjs, but you know what, mum had a lot to deal with. Abusive ex husband, turbulent relationship with her partner, raising 3 children on just her income, mental health and substance use problems. The fact she was existing and hadn't caved into her suicide plan was pretty good going on her part. I think I'll forgive her the pjs.

Who cares what other people wear. Leave them be. You never know what's going on in someone else's life. And even if nothings going on and they simply just fancy being comfortable and have the confidence to do so, well good for them!

Not my cup of tea, but each to their own and fair play to them.

If my Mum had dropped me off at school or gone shopping in her pjs or nightie I would have felt mortified. Does anyone have a Mum or Dad who does that out of interest? I remember my Mum saying women who went shopping in their "curlers" were common. She wasn't middle class before you flame me.

Your Mum sounds amazing to have overcome so much@SoFullOnMj

@YourAmplePlumPoster to be honest until a generation or so ago nobody's mum dropped them off at school past the age of about 7.
Younger if there was an older child (sibling/neighbour) who could walk with them.
Mums (still in their nightclothes) shoved them out the front door with a "bye....have a good day a school".
😂

Thanks. She's sadly no longer with us. What I wouldn't do to take one more ride in the car with her. Or to see her turn up at my front door on her dressing gown and pjs. I wouldn't care who saw us. I'd give her the biggest hug ever and tell her not to worry what other people think.

Loads of passive aggressive posts excusing poor behaviour on this thread The usual on left leaning talkboards. No wonder there's a backlash and people are voting Reform.

Bingo 😂

What a load of nonsense. My Mum made porridge for me and my brother for breakfast and walked us to school. Yes, children actually walked. That will probably be considered reactionary l😅

Yes children walked ! That's what I said 😂
They just walked by themselves or with siblings and friends. They didn't have their mum with them.
Not sure what your point about porridge is.
My mum sometimes made me Hoops on toast for breakfast 😂

Let's go back to the original theme which is lazy people not bothered to get dressed or even showered or bathed and going out in their Jim jams and slippers to the supermarket and the breakfast buffet in hotels. We've heard passive aggressive posts about sick unwell people which has been a distraction. Apparently there is no such thing as lazy people who can't be bothered to make the minimal effort to join the human race. Probably explains why children are going to school unfed, dirty and unwashed and in nappies.

You sound quite unpleasant.

’Quite’ is an understatement.

Yep, I walked to and from school from about 6/7. A 15/20. min walk. Often alone.
My mum shoved me out the door as she was of to work.

An unprecedented number of passive aggressive posts along the lines of poor little me, plus attacks on the OP as a nasty person and snitching to MNHQ. Looks like pj's in public win the day. Where do we go from here? I'm looking forward to Kemi and Keir wearing their pjs in PMs Question Time.

All for the sake of defending wearing nightwatre in public. Weird 😅

Do you have a pair of functioning eyes?
If so, if you see someone in PJs, or god forbid, a lady out with no make-up or jewellery.... just engage your eyeballs and make them look elsewhere.

People should not have to avert their eyes to avoid seeing bad behaviour.
