[Closed] Do you wear your pyjamas to school?

I bet it's not the yummy ones

There's a mum that turns up with her 2 kids at my wee ones swimming lesson on Saturday morning at 10, and the 3 of them have onesies on. Total minger.

Unbelievable! At least put a dressing gown on.

Yup Nobeer, reckon the Headie's getting confused with onesies...

I wear my PJs to work some days 🙂

I was at the ISPO trade fair in Munich lady week.... (trendy "outdoor" fair)

There were a large number of people wearing what looked like pyjama bottoms... Loose and baggy with the crotch down by their knees.

I sneared at them when they weren't looking....

they drop the kids off then go shopping in Asda ... Seen it many times.

neighbour had a near miss in the snow in her xdrive X1 last winter on way to school to drop her kids and our eldest, who was highly amused when she had to get out and speak to the other driver.....in her onesy and wellies 🙂

Yup Nobeer, reckon the Headie's getting confused with onesies...

Like turning up to a parent's evening in a onesie would somehow be an improvement over pyjamas 😆

Is there any pulp that the media won't turn into a 'story'?!

Edit: Clearly not. Check out the [b]"breaking"[/b] news.

Stop the world, I want to get off.

This.

Graham, I'm sure the teacher will already have formed his/her own opinion about Chantelle/Savana/Kylie's parent(s) even without the onesies/pyjamas!

I regularly see them pull up at my local shops, jump out of their cars to do a bit of shopping.
They normally set off their whole pyjama chic with huge slippers with faces.

God knows how they drive.

I despise the school gate. I also hate the opposite end of the pj wearing parents that are the women who've been up since 5 putting on enough make up to be in the wag brigade.

Thrash them with dead eels...........

I feel like I've failed as a human being if I leave the house in tracksuit bottoms 😆

Nope...I always dress...... 😯

The school in question used to make up part of the intake at my secondary school. I am not at all surprised.

Provided they're not tramping around Asda afterward in bare feet I don't honestly care and am a bit surprised that so many people [I]do[/I] care.

What business is it of yours what someone else wears? I can't see why someone would wear PJs to a parents' evening but if they want to that's their choice. Given the choice I'd prefer to see someone in a onesie in Asda than the traditional summer crowd of fat, sweaty, middle-aged men going topless in the veg aisle.

Pyjamas / onesie / tracksuit - are they hurting you? No. Are they setting a bad example to their kids? Possibly. It's not your problem.

I don't even wear pyjamas to bed!

If I'm in a set of shifts that justify going back to bed after I've walked them up to school then I will put my waterproofs (trousers and jacket) on over my pyjamas to go up. But not on display, and not slippers. I do quite often take a mug of tea to drink as I walk though, but I don't think that makes me Kyle fodder.

Wouldn't you be tempted to turn up pick your kids up like this though, just to embarrass them:

Grew up in Darlington. Skerne Park was one of the main deprived areas. No surprise..

I get pissed off with my wife for not getting ready before the kids when she works from home for the same reason, just sets a bad example.

Pyjamas / onesie / tracksuit - are they hurting you? No. Are they setting a bad example to their kids? Possibly. It's not your problem.

And makes you look like a lazy, smelly bastard.

I feel ashamed answering the front door in my pyjamas if I've had a "lazy morning". The mind boggles.

Given that teaching depends to a far larger degree on parental responsibility than most parents (especially the PJ wearers) appreciate, I'd suggest that it [s]is[/s] will be your problem when these kids leave school with poor grades, expectations, attitudes and propects.

Just to reinforce the point.

@ Flaperon, I couldnt care less really about these idiots, but it shows that those who dont bother to get dressed really dont give a hoot about school. Its a respect thing.
Whilst I dont see the point of mums caking themselves in makeup for the school run either, at least they make an effort, a wasted effort, but an effort none the less.

a wasted effort

Some of us appreciate their efforts - and some of them may be off to work after the school run. In the Boots cosmetics department from the look of some of them.

It's the latest import from the U S of A. We're just a bit behind...

I don't see many (if any) Mums dropping kids off at my daughters school in their PJs, but there are a fair few who've obviously been up for hours as their hair/make-up is immaculate at 8.30 in the morning.

Those who turn up in immaculate looking gym kit in the afternoon, just to give the impression they do more than drink wine and watch daytime telly all day also make me laugh.

Pyjamas / onesie / tracksuit - are they hurting you? No. Are they setting a bad example to their kids? Possibly. It's not your problem.

If they set a bad example to their kids then they set a bad example to my kids too.

If their kids act up in class then my kids get disrupted.

Provided they're not tramping around Asda afterward in bare feet I don't honestly care and am a bit surprised that so many people do care.

So your surprised at people caring what other people wear, while simultaneously making a point about caring what other people wear yourself.

It's a confusing point to make, but at least you're honest 😉

I don't wear pyjamas in bed, let alone outside.

Get dressed you lazy, scruffy !£"$!%%!*

Of course i wear pajamas to school. I've been doing it for years. It makes me happy and it's so comfortable. Saves me time in the morning too

What are pyjamas?...

I think the head is right to set dresss and behaviour expectations for parents and hopefully the parents will then set expectations for their kids.

Yeah, but that's different... lady in pyjamas rarely pongs of BO or drips bodily fluids in the aisle 😉

The only person who can pull it off..

In my last job used to work nights, always a pain when someone rang the door bell and Id have to answer in my PJ's, especially after midday, I use to get some odd looks from delivery drivers, I couldn't care less.
One of the mums use to drop the kids off in her dressing gown, but she was eccentric, but I found her strangely interesting compared to all the other mums, she would have been fun and a bit scary at the same time, I used to try and think of it as a smoking jacket!
But I used to drop my kids off riding my BMX, so maybe they thought the same of me.

Someone I know has a daughter who teaches on the Isle of Sheppey, Kids turn up in to school in pj's over there apparently.

On an overnight ferry there was a woman in the bar in nightie, dressing gown and slippers. Classy

I don't and wouldn't. However what other people dress in is not my business. Strangely, it's not the headteacher a business either - unless it's indecent and on school property. I heard this yesterday on Radio 4 and was gobsmacked that the headteacher considers writing a letter to parents, reasonable and appropriate. She couldn't speak correctly either.

Totally idiotic.

A lady on my dog walking loop once commented to the wife that she wouldn't dare set foot in Waitrose without doing her hair first.
Sainsbury's, or (lets whisper it) Lidl, were fine, but one has to keep up appearances for the Harrods of Dorking!

I'm glad my home town is making national news over this.

I used to work in one of the north wests more salubrious towns - one of those many Lancs ones that begin with a B.

Outside they had one of those roadside butty vans. In the morning it wasn't unusual to spot, amongst the hi-vis tabards and oily overalls, a selection of pink dressing gowns, big furry slippers and PJ's, belonging to the women from the caaaaarncil estate across the road. They'd wander over, get their bacon butties and head back to watch Jeremy Kyle.

I suppose that when you've such a busy schedule, you haven't time to be cooking your own bacon butties. Or indeed getting dressed
