Pajama Day?

I think a great many boys are wearing little to no attire to bed by the time they’re in high school, let alone formal sleepwear, so your son seems pretty typical. But this is really just like an ugly sweater day where you buy something you wouldn’t normally wear for the occasion. If your son thinks it’s lame (I agree), then just don’t participate. Not everyone does.

I agree with you but by not participating, do you mean don't show up or wear regular clothes?

I mean going to school but wearing regular clothes and not feeling pressured to wear pajamas just out of peer pressure.

Thank you and I agree.

There's truth in this

OP, your kid doesn't have to wear pajamas. He can say he sleeps in his clothes. Nobody cares.

My kids stopped participating in pajama day when they finished at daycare.

If they are asked what they sleep in then it is creepy!

I have girls, but on pajama day, she and her friends wear flannel PJ pant and a t-shirt. It doesn't even look they're wearing PJs, to be honest.

No, it doesn't have to be a big problem.

Yeah I think you are right. My DS (16) doesn't wear anything to bed but he has a pair of flanel pajama set that he wears for paja day.

Yes my DS (13) is also a nude sleeper so I have bought him a pair of pajamas just for pajama day.

Exactly. If a high school full of teenagers showed up for classes in their true sleeping attire, there would be a whole lot of arrests for indecent exposure, I’m sure. lol

OP, this isn’t a complicated or creepy issue. Nobody is trying to get your DS to go to school nude or in underwear or whatever.

Exactly!

He doesn’t even need to say anything. If a peer were to press him for what he wears to bed (which is kind of getting too personal anyway), he should just tell the truth with confidence. Honestly, I would think it more unusual for males that age and older to prefer full formal pajama sets to just t-shirt and shorts, underwear only, or even totally nude. To each his own, which is easier said than done at that age, I suppose.

Any of these things are better than wearing the clothes you wear during the day anyway, I think.

Yeah both my teen sons (14 and 16) are nude sleepers and it's not something they are embarrassed about, not that they walk around telling everyone, but it's not some big secret either.

Absolutely that must be so uncomfortable and it somehow seems lazy to me.
