AIBU to think children should not be taken shopping in pyjamas?

[NoahVale]

what is the craze for taking y our young dc to the shops in their pyjamas?
bad enough that they drive there but walking down the high street in pyjamas,
it looks appalling.
i just saw a man going past my house, he had been to the shops, and i thought, i bet he didnt wash before he went to the shops, next thing a woman coming up the road with 3 dc in their pjyamas

I couldn’t really care less. Is this something which has just happened at 9am on a bank holiday?

What makes a one piece pyjama more acceptable than a two piece?

Yep it’s lazy and common.

If they can’t be bothered to be dressed in public, I wonder what the inside of their houses are like.

We went on a hike last week and me and the smallest took a tumble and ended up in the river.

We had a hrs drive home so when we were back at the car I changed them into some pj's from the charity shop bag that was in the boot.

We stopped at the shop on the way home and the child was not only in pj's, they were also way too small🤣

It was not a fun day.

I think thats quite common.

Edit I meant common as in not unusual, ordinary thing to do.
Not common the way its used in MN world to mean cheap, scruffy or whatever.

I'll add I quite often do club pick up with my youngest in pj's and onsies. So when we get back its into bed.

A lot of small children’s clothes are very similar to pyjamas anyway. Does it depend on the pattern?

Because it’s lazy, doesn’t take long to put some clothes on, but hey ho each to their own.

no - obviously it is not a one off, i have been seeing it regularly when off to the shops myself, any time of day,
people walking, people driving.
all the same.

Like ‘loungewear’? I wouldn’t bundle that in with pyjamas as you don’t necessarily wear that to sleep, just to lounge around. Also where did council estates come in to this 🤣 I wear a lot of loungewear

Hahaha you've reminded me of collect my kid at nursery he had a what looked to DH and the staff as a character t-shirt on. It had been sold as part of a pj set.

I truly don’t see how it’s any different to shorts and t shirt, it’s not like they’re naked!

But the thing which happened that prompted you to post. The man followed by a woman with 3 children, this morning or not?

the children,
the man is irrelevant really
he is just a smelly man who lives near me

It is unlikely though. If you took the time to wash why would you get re-dressed in pyjamas?

No never
But then I also haven’t seen it either
and at least they’re walking as you seemed put out that it was “bad enough” they were driving

I didn't think people actually slept in onesies (unless maybe camping), they are so warm! Plus very small DC shouldn't really sleep in things with hoods on.

I'm another one that puts DC in onesies for after swimming lessons. I wouldn't let them go out in pyjamas unless it was an emergency or 'wear pyjamas to school' day though.

I do remember when I was a kid we used to pick up DM from an evening class in the car at about 8/9pm and DBro and I would be in our pyjamas. That was very exciting.

What? You are really making yourself look nasty by saying this! Poor man just going about his day not bothering you at all? Was he in his pyjamas?

My autistic ds wears nothing but pyjamas due to sensory issues with clothes. We certainly aren't going to stay inside all day in case judgy folk want to get offended. Why does people's clothing choices bother you so much? Maybe take up a hobby instead.

Only time I ever took my child out in PJs ( apart from a night drive to a holiday destination) was to the GP where she was so weak I had to carry her from her bed- they wouldn’t come out to see her.

Plenty of soft outdoor clothing.

It's probably easier to nip to the shop with them for milk than faffing around getting 3 kids dressed, it absolutely isn't the deal you think it is.

And you stopped washing up, dried your hands, pulled out your phone and started bashing out a mumsnet thread.

What a way to live 😆

I can understand if it's near bedtime. But yesterday there was a child in the garden centre at 2pm in pyjamas and dressing gown.

fairly common round here i imagine,
gets me away from the tedium of the washing up!

Yes, what is the breakfast run?
