DH's attire on family holiday

[onesinglepringle]

Just looking for some opinions as I don't know if I'm being weird about this!

On a big extended family holiday, all staying in the same house with aunts/ uncles/ cousins/ kids etc that we don't see that often.

DH (late 40's if relevant) is walking around in just the shorts he slept in in the morning whilst he is sorting out our toddler's breakfast etc. No one else seems to be doing this, everyone else is wearing t-shirts.

Is this OK/ normal?

It is warm, and I don't want to tell him to cover up if I'm just being a bit weird and prudish about it.

At the same time, I'm hoping people aren't looking at him and wondering why he's wearing only his sleep shorts from like 6.30-9am, socialising, playing with the kids etc, so it's not just popping down for a coffee. He's unshowered, messy hair etc.

YABU - It's fine, chill out, it's family (even though extended family we don't see)
YANBU - he should cover up like everyone else

I can't imagine caring

A ledge? For doing something that one parent or the other has to do? Fuck me what a low bar.

What are 'sleep shorts'?

People are forgetting the important question. Is he fit?

He's wearing shorts not boxers. Do you have a problem with dads playing with kids at the beach or by the pool?

I think he should be wearing a t shirt with non-immediate family

Oh fgs, they're shorts, give over 😂

"Don't tell the boys what to wear - tell the girls not to stare"

Pajama bottoms I presume (but shorts rather than long ones)

I think it’s rather grim.
Maybe I’m a bit too middle class/old school but I really don’t like the constant dropping of standards.
Im not a stickler for tiaras at dinner but hells bells - get dressed fgs.

I was going to ask "will the sight put me off my cornflakes I na bad way or an inappropriate way" but sounds like it's his family not hers lol

❤️

If there's a chance his penis will drop out, yes. That was the point. Not about being half naked with his kids.

My brother in law used to walk around my PIL's house in just his boxers when he still lived at home (in his 20's). I occasionally told him to put some clothes on in a jokey way, but nobody batted an eyelid as it was just family popping in and out.

😂😂😂

Good for him. He's on holiday.

Exactly, most men wear this at the pool.
Though if he's sweaty-then cover up! And I'd say the same for women, so it's not a sexist thing-just wearing a bikini top with no Tshirt when you're sweaty, then sitting next to me on the sofa-no thanks.

Surely if he is on the ledge he should - bare minimum - be wearing sturdy shoes with some sort of 'grip'??

I think he should wear a t-shirt as well, if I'm honest.

I can't think of anything more normal.

Would you feel uncomfortable if the other men were dressed as your DH is?

I'd dislike the lack of showering in what I assume is a warm place more than anything.

This.

anyone volunteering to get up at 6.30 while on holiday and wrangle the kids until 9am can wear what the fuck they want imo, as long as it’s legal.

not in front of extended family no. my dh will wear just boxers but it'sonly me and him if family are here he gets dressed

I wouldn't get involved in what he wears around his own family.

If it was your family I'd tell him to get dressed.
