Is it odd that I have my PJs on most evenings when BF comes round? [Title edited by MNHQ]

It started, when we hadn't been seeing each other long, because we'd been to a training session, I'd gone home and had a shower, then he called to ask if he could come for a cuppa and to watch something we'd been talking about. I said yes, but I'm in my PJs you'll have to take me as you find me 😆

Since then he quite often comes round after training for a couple of hours.

I don't actually wear PJs in bed, but have some that I wear more as lounge wearinbetween an evening shower and bed. I wouldn't put them on before dinner, but if I have a shower after dinner, I don't get fully dressed again. I've even started buying "smart" PJs for this purpose 😆

It seems fine to me and he seems happy enough, but I know my mother would be horrified. I never saw her downstairs unless fully dressed!

Oh, I don't knpw what apps are, PJs, pyjamas.

I wear naice pyjamas as lounge wear in the evening and I really don't see an issue with that.

Very few people are invited into my home and those who are can take me as I am or they don't have to visit me.

I think this is normal, if I’m at home I’m in pyjamas

I wear loungewear at home, which might as well be pyjamas—they're not things I would wear out of the house. I have a few different lounging outfits, because I WFH so am there most of the time.

I don't wear anything in bed, except when it's really cold in the winter, but I like an old-fashioned flannel nightie (pyjamas bunch and twist and make me feel like I'm in a straightjacket).

I think it's totally normal. I know I have 'evening' pjs, which are abit more lounge wear then my bedtime pjs.
It's nice to be comfy when you are in for the night.
Probably not so popular with older/boomer generation though.

Mumsnet thinks this is normal.
IME it isn't, but it might be generational. Most of my friends are retired and don't socialise in their pyjamas.

I get in my pjs after I have a shower at night. Or maybe joggers and a tee shirt, lounge wear in any case. I'm 58, so no spring chicken, but I like to be comfy in my own house. If I was having someone round I would be dressed though.

Imo a boyfriend is a bit different to friends so I'd get snug and wear PJ's with a boyfriend more than I would friends but to be honest I dated with a view of marriage and children so he was going to see a lot worse 😆

If they're not clothes you would actually ever wear to bed for sleeping then I don't think they count as pyjamas, they're lounge wear.

I think lounge wear in the evening after a shower is fine. They're just very casual comfy clothes when winding down. Pyjamas all evening would feel weird to me. But that's because I find it a bit psychologically draining to spend awake time in sleep clothes. It's depressing.

If we were talking about leaving the house then the distinction between lounge wear vs pyjamas would be less relevant, because they basically look the same to other people.

I don't like actual pyjamas as lounge wear, because they're generally a bit naff looking. Because I'm in lounge wear most of the time, I like it to be a bit stylish.

I think it depends on who is coming round.
Id happily be seen in pjs by family or a partner (if I swung that way!). Equally my best friend has seen me in pjs, we shared a house for 5 yrs so very casual with each other.
Def a generation gap here though.....in fact I dont think I even remember seeing either of my elderly parents in their jimjams!😁

Not odd at all! I change out of smart work clothes as soon as I get home, it’s more loungewear than pjs but essentially the same thing. My mum didn’t wear smart clothes for work so stayed in the same clothes for the whole day (putting an apron on for messy jobs etc) My husband also changes into pjs/loungewear after dinner unless we have to pick up one of the kids etc…
