I don’t get it and it drives me crazy. Why would you not buy regular clothes ( not PJ’s) for your kid to wear to school?!

Some kids are extremely sensitive to clothes and soft pjs maybe the only thing they can handle at the moment.

Bull! This is not even an excuse for your lazy parenting.

I hope you have the opportunity to meet a kid who has sensory issues at some point in your life and that meeting them changes the way you think about the world. My kids don't have sensory issues but my brother does and things like clothes were a struggle for him. Honestly, where has all the empathy gone?

Every night he’d have a bath, a new set would go on (with Thomas the Tank Engine underwear), and he’d wear it to school the next day.

He is now 15. He is smart, handsome, popular, athletic, and wears a variety of fashionable clothing. Probably because he got to wear the same awesome outfit every day when he was 3.

It definitely bothered Colin’s mom because she kept bringing it up. She was super annoying and kind of a loser. Don’t be like Colin’s mom.

This is my new response for all ridiculous posts.

Listen, OP, some people do not care about personal hygiene. There will always be the guy on the metro who really needs deodorant, the girl at work with bad breath and people with smelly clothes.

Remember the smelly kid at school? Well, now you know it starts as young as preschool - probably daycare. Some parents do not care about hygiene. They think clean clothes, brushing teeth and hair are optional. Apparently even underwear is optional! I feel bad for those kids but it is what it is.

Sorry, but I did not read the whole thread. Did OP say the PJs were dirty? The child was dirty? Wearing PJs to school doesn't mean the child's parents don't care about hygiene. Perhaps it's not worth the argument in the morning and so long as they are dressed, who cares? I agree with other posters that I'd rather see a 3yo in comfortable clothing they can play in than clothes that look like they belong on a teenager who snuck out of the house. I love seeing kids out in pajamas or a costume on a Tuesday because that's what they wanted to wear and their parents allowed them to make that choice and own it. If my kid wants to wear striped pants and a polka dot shirt, I'm for it.

Little kids do these things. Today I wrestled tank top, short shorts and flip flops away from my 3 yr old who then had an extreme meltdown. We were 20 min late to preschool but somehow I got her into pants, sneakers and a fleece. Teeth were the least of my concerns,

Sometime pajamas and cat ears are the only way to get her to school.

My 1 rule is weather appropriate. After that it’s all gravy.
