Do your teens change for bed?

[RoseMartha]

My girls usually cant be bothered age 14 and 15. I brought them up to put nightwear on but in the last year or so they will happily just go to bed in what they had on in the day. They do change out of school uniform when they get in however. But weekends and school holidays they dont change and just go to bed on what they wore that day even if been somewhere fairly dirty.

The exception to this is if they bath or shower before bed, then they do stick nightwear on or just a random t shirt. The younger one has better personal hygiene than the older one who usually cant be bothered to wash either.

I do sometimes ask them to change for bed but i havent made a big thing about it because I have far bigger problems with them as in they have additional needs.

It does gross me out a bit though.

Is this normal for teens generally now?
(I always wore and wear nightwear).

I think it's pretty strange to be wearing day clothes into bed at night. If I knew someone like this who did it on a regular basis I would secretly judge and think they're kind of weird. Just as I do when I see people wearing pj's into the supermarket. My mind just automatically thinks LAZY!

I can't fathom how sleeping in the clothes you've worn all day would be comfortable. Maybe they'll grown out of it?

I think that's unusual. I sleep naked and DP in PJs but I've never known anyone to just sleep in their clothes../

The only time my son would have done this is if we have had a super busy day and crashed out on his bed

Yeah, same here. If I'm at home I mainly wear a baggy t shirt during the day, so at bed time I just change my trousers for pj bottoms and get into an bed. Shower in the morning 🤷‍♀️

It would be odd/uncomfortable to sleep in jeans imo

Who cares ? You do what you do

fine, but no need to open the thread.

Nobody needs to open a thread. I made that choice, it's not for you to decide.

I think this SO often when I come onto certain MN threads- hmm why are you asking.

Not saying the OP in this thread and others aren't genuine but def best to err on the side of caution on the internet. Starting conversations about teenagers bed clothing, older kid nappy wearing, inappropriate touching, Jesus what else have I seen recently - some of these threads are so blatant and people jump on to comment without a second thought about whether tracey1992mum is real or not 🤷‍♀️

Especially when MN is known for trolls ("trolls" being a nicer word for it). I think even Reddit has a better rep than Mumsnet for that!

@LeMoo so changing out of one (warm) T-shirt, into another (cold) t-shirt is better for your mind & body.

🦇 💩

🙄🙄🙄

Oh FFS 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

its PJ's not crack.

Ds will change after school into t-shirt and pyjama shorts, then wear that to bed.

@Cwcwbird Yeah, tell him some crackpot on the Internet thinks she's better than everyone else & he's lowering the standards! 🤣🤣🤣

Nope, even if they bummed around the house all day in their pyjamas from the night before, they’ll change them before bed.

@Hopperhead their clothes they've been wearing around the house are unlikely to have been on the bus...

but even if they'd spent all day riding the busses, what exactly do you think is going to happen if they sleep in their clothes?

@Tallulah28 that some bloke might be getting off on a discussion of Fluffy Pj's v
tshirts 🙄🙄🙄

@Itsallok

what?? What's different about clothes she's put on at 4:30 and loafed about in, than put on at 9:30 and gone to bed in. She's hardly been running a marathon in between!

Oh FFS 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

its PJ's not crack.
Just spluttering out my tea here, thank you for this!!

my dd changes into lounge wear/pjs when she gets in (mostly) and then keeps that on for bed. My ds sleeps naked. I change into my pjs when I put the little one to bed. I love being able to get straight into bed after teeth brushing etc, still warm and comfy from earlier in the evening.

yup, pick your battles!

id rather have teens that spend too much time in the shower than ones that need instructions to find it!!

depends what you wear all day I suppose. I don't suppose many of them are going to bed in their uniforms or jeans etc.

hiw are leggings ms/joggers/T-shirts any different to Pj's??

If I’ve worn a comfy t shirt during the day, I keep it on for bed and just take my bra off and put on some pj bottoms. Thought that was fairly normal tbh but mumsnet is a different beast!

Depends although he's not quite a teen yet, some times he'll put on pj's when he gets in , other times like today he's in a t-shirt and boxers which he'll probably sleep in .

It is perfectly 'normal/usual. MN is getting weirder & weirder.
