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?!

Hero mom! I wish I'd thought of this for my kids during pre k

People. Stop. If someone started a thread called “is it ok if I drop my child off at PK3 wearing pajamas”, y’all would lose your sh*t on the OP for lazy parenting. It’s lazy. Absent a special need, you know this.

OP you have way too much time on your hands if this is what you’re worried about. Why do you care?

My high school junior wore pj pants to school this week. Lazy parenting for the win!!

Your mind would be blown by my neighbor who is in his late 50's early 60's who came over to talk to us in his pjs!

Lazy parents. School should not allow.

My kid has clean underpants on, fresh clothes, has had a washcloth bath twice this week, and I think I forgot to brush her teeth this morning. Last night she slept in her clothes. that’s what she wanted. But her hair is brushed. She’s happy. Fed. I’d love to be four too, and just not give a crap about what I have on.

Kid fashion is adorable, especially when they are given the range to make their own selections. If my girl wanted to wear a twin set I’d be cool with that but I’m also really happy she wants to wear her rain boots and a summer dress with winter leggings...Because it makes her happy and feel good in her body.

Worry about your own child, OP. These kids are fine. If there is a problem at home I’m pretty sure the school is already aware of it. Most likely there is not.

Your child probably stinks with only wash lith baths. You are disgusting.

I had a kid with really severe sensory issues -- set off by things like feeling the seams of clothes including zippers, couldn't bear wearing fabrics like corduroy, buttons, etc.
He mostly wore a not very trendy velour sweat suit. When we met the other velour sweatsuit kids and their moms, it was like "Oh, we've found our tribe."

Second kid was fine. She wore a Cinderella halloween costume with red sparkly Walmart shoes to most of Pre-K. Not sensory issues, just eccentric. (Still is).

Third child? My husband referred to our daughter as "Sensory Issues Barbie."

I spent most of their childhood ashamed, embarrassed and really really worried about being judged. Kind of killed the SAHM vibe for me and drove me back to work. I really wish I hadn't felt so judged -- or been so judged.

On the other hand, if he has some sensory issues, then it is not bad parenting. Kid just cannot bear the stress of wearing something that doesn't feel right

My guess is that there is something wrong at home

Actually this is pretty normal now. It does not mean something is wrong at home. Now if a kid has constant UTIs and the parents don't give them medicine and they don't get baths for several weeks, THEN I would say there is something wrong at home.

I'm always amazed by how incredulous people are that other families do small things differently. "Your children change their underwear twice a day? OMG, the laundry!"

It's not like people are saying they only feed their kids every third day. Good grief.

What a shame you felt so embarrassed and judged. As I was reading your post, I was thinking, "Hey, I would like to be friends with that family!"

One of my main life goals is to find professional clothes that fee like PJs. Today I’m wearing a silk shirt that feels just like my silk PJs so I’m happy. I think the preschool PJ mom has got it figured out. Especially if she has girls—it really astounded me how hard it was to find comfy pants for preschool girls. I ended up shopping for mine in the boys section to avoid the glut of skinny jeans and itchy frills in the girls section. Now I feel like you can find it, but it’s basically PJs for 3x the price. Might as well just wear clean Pjs.

I agree with OP, this would bother me. But, I am also similarly bothered by the kid who is wearing a Ralph Lauren button up shirt, buttoned all the way, with fresh pressed kahkis and dress shoes every day.

And by "bothered" I mean, I notice and shrug my shoulders, then don't really think about it any more. It's odd, but oh well. My child is probably being judged for something that is out of his control/not a big deal, and really we should all just chill!

this could be for a few reasons, one of which has to do with a lack of cognitive flexibility (cognitively rigid) so the kid has a hard time with transitions. Another could be that they have a sensory issue with clothing--so many people do--but little kids have not yet learned how to overcome or ignore it.

THIS. Also mom of teens here. OP, try to think outside of your own box for a moment. There could be any number of reasons why the kid wears pjs. The PP who stated that it’s only going to get harder for you as your kids get older is so right. It’s going to make the pj trigger look like a walk in the park. Regardless, I hope you learn to teach your kids to be accepting of people no matter what they wear.
