UO's for Public Consumption

[mrsmonogrammed]

I dislike when people take kids out in public in pajamas. Tiny babies? Sure, whatever. Is it 4AM and you're out? Ok, fine. But 2y+ do not need to be walking around in footie pajamas with no other shoes on in public.
*No I do not think this will harm the child or have any lasting effect on them at all, but still I have the thought that they should be in regular clothes.

Lol. Depends on the pj;) Yoga pants are almost always acceptable. Fuzzy character pants get a "Helllllllll no" from me.

On Saturday and Sunday mornings when we go out to eat breakfast and do grocery shopping sometimes DD goes wearing a nightgown with pajama pants and regular shoes.  LO has been going in the fleece pajamas with footies because prior to the last week or so it was pretty cold.  Some nights DD sleeps in the clothes that she wore all day.  This is the same kid that will not even let us brush, comb, or put her hair in a ponytail most days without throwing a huge tantrum.  Its just not worth the battle to us sometimes. 

But if we are ever going to church or the doctors or really most other places, DD is not wearing her pajamas.

[candylandycane]

I definitely kept V in her jammies for the cold weather/teeny baby stage. I dress her now, but honestly would still do pajamas if it was socially acceptable. Now at home- pjs all day. My baby is too gross for fancy clothes at home.

UO: Do not like the private board because FOMO. And I miss HDBD. I totally get it's my own doing, but still don't like it.

P.S. Hiiii.

Agree with this. My 2.5 year old is in a phase in which she never wants to get dressed. I literally wrestle her into her outfits every day. My SIL is one of those "just you wait" types, and tells me that I should just give up the battle.  Her 8 year old son has refused to wear anything but shorts since he was 3.  It will be -30 degrees out and he's wearing shorts.  No thank you, I'll just be over here "killing her self expression" (her words) because I don't want her wearing footie pajamas out to dinner.  

[Bluedaisy]

But without the snaps they ride up or my kid pulls them up and always has his belly hanging out @jemomma,...

But to be totally honest he usually lives in cotton sleepers or rompers and only wears cute cloths when we leave the house which is only a couple times a week.

I feel like there is such a huge huge space in between allowing "anything goes" type choices ie shorts in any weather, pajamas out to dinner, etc, and killing a kids opportunity for choice and self expression in clothes. I don't have big kids yet so don't technically have cards to play in this, but why would shorts even be an option when its cold (like, put them away in storage where a kid can't see/reach/chose them) and if someone wants to allow their kid to express themselves by dressing themselves, let them chose from weather appropriate clothes. This seems simple enough to me. But again, I'm not there yet...

Eta not talking about you, but about your SIL and her 8 year old. Dear god I get the challenge of getting clothes on and off of 2.5 year olds. I used to have a classroom of 12 of them lol

[Bluedaisy]

@jemomma, I don't mind the look of it (I actually have a bunch of pictures of him doing a "Magic Mike" impersonation) but it's more I hate trying to carry him...

I hate one-sies past 6 months. They no longer serve a purpose for me other than to take an extra 5 minutes to wrestle with baby to get everything snapped. DNW.

T-shirts/dresses and pants all the way.

I have finally done some Googling and discovered that what Americans call a onesie is the thing that I call a baby vest or bodysuit. It wasn't till about the third page of Google though! The Internet assumes that everyone knows what a onesie is. It turns out that it's an American brand name :-)

Anyway, I think they're great. The weather still isn't very warm here and the vest means her torso is always covered, whatever else she has on. Yes, it gets more awkward the less she co-operates with nappy changes, but she's such a wriggleosaurus anyway, and even more so as she begins to move around. I may completely change my mind in the summer,

ETA: what Bluedaisy said. I don't want her tummy hanging out when she's wearing trousers, or a bare tummy under her dress. Not for aesthetic reasons but because it's too cold!

[mgrandy]

I don't like onesies with writing on them...Like Mommy's cutie or Daddy's sweetie. If I get a set with one of those in it they never get worn. Love patterns and solids.

Give me all of the onesies. Sorry @jemomma! I like having bellies covered. DD has sensitive skin and I don't like when her shirt comes up and other people hold her and touch her skin. Creepy, I know.

Team onesie past 6 months over here. They were the only way that DD1 would not rip her diaper off every nap time when she was younger.

I prefer onesies until they can walk and then when they can walk I prefer t-shirts.  Onesies are perfect for the crawling stage IMO.

Just put on some fucking yoga pants. I don't care if you love your Tweety bird/Hello Kitty/patterned pajama pants. I don't. You look trashy and I think you're immature.

For the record, I do judge actual books by the cover too.

I'm having deja vu here but i think we discussed this a few weeks ago when the school banned moms dropping/picking up their kids in their PJs.

For the record i don't care what adults or kids wear during the day and I don't think its anyone's business to care either. We have a friend who brings their kid to our house wearing a brown bathrobe because its his 'superman robe' and I think its pretty cute and funny. he's only 3 so why judge a 3 year old's clothing choices?

You would have a field day in my office..we get at least one client in pj pants a day.

I judge if you're like sugarkissed's SIL and let your child run around in shorts during winter. Like periwinkledaydreams said, I'm all for expression with clothing, but you are still the parent and need to enforce certain rules.
Now a 3 year old in a bathrobe coming over to your house is fine. But is he also naked underneath? Are they going out to dinner with him in his bathrobe? These are the things that will influence my judgement;)

ETA- not sure if I tagged the right people but, lazy. Sorry if I misquoted!

My husband insisted on letting my 3yo wear his pajama pants to the airport this morning with his sweatshirt because he was too lazy to put him in shorts. Not what I would prefer but don't care. He is wearing sneakers.

[junch817]

Pajamas on the baby forever. Especially in the cold. I don't do coats, so he stays in cozy jammies, a hat and a big blanket over him while I run big sister into school.
8 year olds in pajamas, no.
Adults in pajamas in public - no. I'd love to and many days (probably more than not if I'm being honest) I don't even change out of mine all day until I shower before bed. True story - did almost two weeks with of laundry the other day and my piles consisted of only hoodies and pajama sets. Also, if we aren't going out anywhere, I can't even remember the last time me and my two kids were all in clothes. Someone is almost always still wearing pajamas.
Onesies until they are walking. I can't stand holding babies when their shirts bunch up under their arms. Plus, my crawler that worms around the carpet would have pretty serious rug burn on his belly.

mrsmonogrammed, I'm new to BC Canada but I've been to the local park and there are more then a few kids in t-shirt/shorts and it's the tail end of winter here so still 45F.  I look at them funny but the kids aren't crying about being cold and they are happy/having fun so who cares?

In case you can't tell the word 'judge' rubs me the wrong way.

[junch817]

My UO - I would take a back massage over sex (big O included) every single time.

[beersandweirs]

When baby wears a t-shirt I put a onesie on underneath, so I don't know in which camp I fall...

But really though, I only do that now because it is still cold out, but I bet I will drop the onesie once it gets warmer out.

[Deleted]

well if I had seen this one first I would have put on my big girl panties and posted mine here.

[junch817]

Another tame one that is on my mind and isn't even important enough to be popular or unpopular - but I CANT STAND RACHAEL RAY!!! Her show comes on every day after the Today show and some days I'm too busy to turn it off, and I can hear her insanely loud, obnoxious voice and I want to kick her in the face lol. She interrupts everyone alllllll the time and she thinks she is hysterical, but she's not. Not even a little bit. And it blows my mind that apparently her show has been on for several years. I don't get it.

DH just left for the grocery store with P... still his pjs.   P not DH.

Lol, being from Chicago, kids in shorts at 45 degrees doesn't scream terribly odd to me. But if it was 10F, that's where I'm going to side-eye.
