Tweens and Teens
When did he stop wearing pajamas and how do you know he sleeps naked and how did you react to it. |
Only because it's not allowed. I swear if he was invited to the white house he'd wear santa pants and crocs with socks. |
About a year ago, 12ish, middle school. He told us he sleeps naked and I stopped seeing his “sleeping boxer briefs” in the laundry. Reaction - it’s fine with me. |
How did that come up in converstation, did he just suddenly tell you? |
Hmm I don’t recall. I think it started because I stopped noticing the sleeping boxer laundry so we brought it up to him. I still ask when we prepare for travel if he wants sleeping boxers and sometimes yes sometimes no. |
So great that you can just have an open conversation like that . Do you know why he started sleeping naked?
|
No, I haven’t asked about the why. I guess I prob should figured it was just a hot bodied teen.
|
| Does anybody know why the word “probably” is showing up as “properly”? |
| Just boxers. Haven't worn pajamas for years. |
Ha, ha, that's pretty funny
|
| Perhaps just don't buy him any new ones and if he still doesn't ask for them, well you sort got your answer. |
| Asking him what he prefers to wear to bed in a neutral, non-judgmental way makes the most sense. A little blushing and embarrassment up front is a lot better than the major em-BAREASS-ment that could be in store if you walk into his room in the morning and he’s kicked off the covers in his sleep. |
Or you could just start knocking. Which you really should do it he’s a teen. |
| I don't see the point of boys wearing pajamas. When my son turned 6 I told him he was old enough to start sleeping in just his underwear. He asked why, and I explained that he will sleep better and that is how big boys sleep. He hasn't asked for pajamas since, which I am thankful for. Less laundry! |
| My son had his first sleepover for his 7th birthday last year. He had previously been sleeping in pajama sets but most of his friends slept shirtless in either athletic shorts or underwear only so he did the same. He’s slept in just his boxer briefs since then so I didn’t get him any new pajamas this year. |
