How long do you stay in your PJs?

Well said Doodledog wear what you are comfortable in. Clean PJs are so comforting I only wear them out of bed as I wear nightdresses but have been known to wear hem until 11am

Cherrytree59

Tee shirt and short style pjs
Straight out of bed and into the shower.
Hate the 'sleepy feel' skin and hair even though I have a clean bed.

My mum had several house-coats that she wore over her underwear.
This was on until housework completed.
She also prior gong out, would do her hair and make-up before removing her house-coat replacing with a clean fresh ironed dress /skirt and top.

This reminds me of my friend who years ago as a teenager and mother’s help in France was held to account for dressing first thing when the mother considered it slovenly to do any chores first thing in decent day clothes.

It’s that old adage, oft quoted on here, that “you don’t know what’s going on in others’ lives”.
People may choose to stay in their nightwear for longer than others for many reasons, and this certainly does not mean they are slovenly. People have different lives, different body clocks, different needs and wants.

All day, if I’m not going out. I have chronic fatigue, and I find showering really tires me out. I used to shower as soon as I got up. Another of the unexpected side-effects of ageing!

I get showered and dressed as soon as I get up but like to get into nightwear early in the evening. Can never understand our children and grandchildren having pj days where they don’t get dressed at all.

Well said,Doodledog. Far too much judgement. I don't stay in PJ'S but really doesn't worry me what anyone else does.

If I have a really early start to the day I can drift into doing housework in my night clothes before having my shower. Usually though it's Up, Shower, Coffee and breakfast. Short stroll around the block or stretch routine and then I am ready to start my day.

Correct ….self respect isn’t clothing. I always aster garden in jammies …. I’m up at 5.30. Then indoors to get disabled husband ready for the day …. that takes 1.5 hours… then get him breakfasted. … that’s another hour. Then get him settled in front of tv…then it’s a reasonable time to get my brekkie .. shower and dressed! Then my day begins !
Self respect is doing NOT wearing!

I'm usually up have breakfast then shower and dress all before 9 am. I am though fibding that on a Saturday or Sunday I just am not bitgering to shower or dress. This has crept in over past month since DH died in May. Find it strange it's a weekend day this happens, no rhyme nor reason. I have a camera doorbell so can avoid any unwanted visitors. Don't go in garden though woukd need to be dressed or neighbours would be questioning my sanity.

Until I’ve cleaned up because I once got bleach on my clothes. On dark wet days I stay in my pjs

I work full time, so am showered and dressed pretty early. I tend to do most of the cleaning at the weekend and don’t shower and get dressed till I have finished cleaning or if I am going out. It can easily be 2.00pm on a Saturday before I have a shower and get dressed. Sunday’s we are usually doing things, so I tend to shower and dress at a more respectable time! ?

if I am not up and dressed by 7.00am, I am ill.

Same here MOnica

I don’t wear P.J’s. Nightdress for me.

I always get dressed after my ablutions, so usually I’m presentable by 9am approximately.

Having grown up eating Mammy's blackcurrant jam I'm very partial to that too Chewbacca but I haven't inherited her skill in that department
Hope you're chilling out after all that activity ?

Most of the groups I attend are in the mornings around 10.00 am. So, I get up around 7.30 ish - all breakkie items are set up in the evening, so can make me a pot of tea (loose tea leaves), for my very large breakfast mug and my cereal with fruit in about three minutes - so within few minutes of getting out of bed will be sitting in riser/recliner chair eating breakfast and watching BBC 1 morning show. I wear nighties, not PJ's and have nice dressing gowns that go on when I am up. Cosy fleece ones for winter, and pretty silky type one in summer. Obviously, first thing I do as I get out of bed is cross room to en-suite loo, then open the curtains.

The I look into my laptop, emails, face book, Gransnet, also check my bank account and credit card account on my phone (daily check to be in advance of any fraudalent activity). Soon after 9.00 am I take trolley into kitchen and put breakfast items in sink, and them go into bedroom, make bed, shower and dress and then go out.

Love this, - when I was working, it would be up, washed dressed straight out to car to go to work, and then somewhere between 9 - 9.30 used to try to find time for breakfast. No time for shower in morning used to bath at night. So lovely with retirement to do things more the way that suits my bodyclock.

I have no feelings at all about people who are happy staying in their night things much of the day, nor about those who seem to feel they need to get dressed as they get of bed. Each to their own.

There lots of funny people on here, I think.
People who are busy being outraged for no particular reason miss out on lots of laughs.

Couldn't agree more MissA

I’m up and walking the dogs by eight in this hot weather. Too late at 10.30 for dogs in a heat wave . You perhaps should go out in a fur coat and bare feet. That’s how your dog feels !

My goodness there are some smug disapproving responses to this thread!

Now I'm retired I see no point rushing around early, I like to have a relaxing time of things now; after many decades of nursing I feel I deserve it!

DillonsGranma I don't necessarily even take my dogs out at all in very hot weather, as they really don't enjoy it and they are quite happy to "slob around" with me still in my PJs.
Will probably take them out in the evening when it's cooler.

I sometimes go to bed in my clothes, just in case someone knocks in the night and realises I wear pyjamas.

Oh my goodness this really made me laugh out loud!
Thank you so much MissA - you really are funny

I love my PJs and often don't get dressed until almost midday, then back into them as soon as dinner out the way, watered the garden and cleared up the kitchen. I'm often out in the garden with my dogs, still in PJs - one day a passing neighbour stopped and asked where I get my lovely trousers from!
I have a Ukrainian guest staying,their culture is - home from work, straight into shower, then PJs on, no matter how early! I'm all for it! Also - no outdoor shoes on in the house, straight into slippers!

I have a relative who is up, showered, dressed before 7 am every day; she is 82 years of age.
She spends her days shopping for more clothes ( most of which never see the light of day)
She boasts about the amount of outfits in her wardrobe which she bought but never,wore.
At the same time she is immaculately turned out at all times; hair coiffed, pretty shoes etc.
She has someone to do her housework, maintenance etc
She likes sipping coffee and looking well-turned out.
She has been this way all her adult life.
.
I on the other hand can regularly be found in my nightdress/smock/robe at any time of day.
If anyone comments ( which of course they feel its their duty to do) I happily inform them that I'm wearing an artist's smock NOT my nightdress.
Apart from the many days each week that I'm minding my young grandchildren or out and about I wear whatever I feel comfortable in.
Like many of you I spent most of my life having to be up at 7 am if not earlier, showered, dressed and out the door for a busy work-filled day so naturally it's a relief not to have that pressure everyday any longer.
I'm a crafter, gardener, carer, good neighbour - overall a most productive human being AND I keep & maintain a beautiful clean, tidy home - because that's what I like.
My relative admires and tells everybody about my creativity, work ethic and family values.
I admire & tell everybody about her chicness
I'm sure many gransnetters on here would describe me as slovenly and my relative as someone with high standards based on our choice of attire.

Thanks to my intelligence and education I know better.
I suppose self-worth is something nurtured in a person from a young age and not everyone is fortunate enough to have had that nourishment.

For those of us who are let's continue to celebrate our uniqueness and just spare a well- wishing thought for those who are not

I get up anywhere between 7-8, get a coffee and jump in the shower. So that’s the end of nightclothes.
Couldn’t slob around in them or go outside in them / like to feel clean and fresh to face the day

Sorry, that was suppose to be in answer to the question about me dressing in the evening. The quote didn't work.

No dog here either ?

or cat ?

If I've been wearing shorts in the garden I usually have a quick shower and put a dress on. Nothing formal, just not the kit I've been kicking about in all day.
