To let my DC wear (fresh, clean) pajamas in the day?

[PlinthOfSoap]

DS is 3. Very particular about clothes, and very into a character. I have found character clothes, but they are pajamas. We don't have non pajamas clothes for this character. I haven't found any yet that meet DS requirements.

The tops are fine as you wouldn't know they're not t-shirts. There is one pair of shorts and one long bottoms, both of which look a bit more like pajamas.

I think that DS is very little, and I think at this age, if he wants to wear them during the day (to be clear, I mean just using them as day clothes, not letting him keep them on after wearing at night!) it's fine, and neither he nor I will care if people know they are pajamas. DH thinks it's not OK and they should just be kept for bed.

AIBU to let him wear clean pajamas in the day as day clothes?

Men can't do right for doing wrong sometimes.

If they leave everything child-related to the mother then they have checked out of parenting, but if they dare to have an opinion then they need to be put in their place.

So the childs other parents views don't matter? Really?

Ds at 21 did his uni interviews on Teams with a shirt and collar on top and his jammy bottoms underneath. It is just what he feels comfortable in and it is totally fine.

I remember DDs 6th birthday. Big party planned, half her school invited, Disney theme (just come out of Covid days, she’d missed celebrating her previous 2 birthdays due to lockdown restrictions). I’d got her the perfect Disney princess dress, ordered online, cost a bloody fortune and caused me so much stress (it went missing and ended up arriving on her actual birthday).

A distant relative gave her a set of blue and orange checked pyjamas (as in, button-down brushed cotton pyjamas with a piped collar and a lapel pocket, that couldn’t pass as day clothes in a million years) that she insisted she wore to her birthday party. All the other kids were dressed up as Disney characters and there she was in her little orange and blue pyjamas 🫣 she had a great day, nobody cared a jot or even mentioned it!

But she can?

Ok.

I am calm though, thank you for asking.

DS2 is 16 and basically lives in his pyjama's when he doesn't have to leave the house

He’s a baby, bless him. Let him wear it. He’s not doing any harm.

I found an old family photo from the 80‘s today. My sister, around maybe 6, was sat in the living room eating and playing wearing a bridesmaids dress.

oic.

I don't think it would necessarily be bad for a child as an occasional thing, but not as regular outer wear.
