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.

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.

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.

That's the right attitude I think.

Wow, all three and even the girl? I have one who does and says his friends do too. What pray-tell is with this generation’s attraction to sleeping bareass naked?

I don't know but my DS (16) does it too so I was wondering about the same thing. He has a pair of pajamas for pajama day anyways.

Well, I have ever since I was about 12 back in the ‘90s and a lot of my friends both male and female did the same. And I got the idea from seeing it in movies, old paintings, and knowing my parents did too. So it’s definitely not specific to any one generation.

Yes just be honest and many boys problably don't even wear anything to bed at that age.

I was wondering the same thing but I guess comfort and a good night's sleep are the most important things.

I agree with that, it doesn't really seem relevant anymore.

It's the look in the pic a PP posted.

When I tell my kids to dress up for something, they put on jeans. I tell them jeans is not considered dressed up and that it is too casual and they look at me like I have two heads.

Exactly like my kids. Wonder if we will have a generation showing up to work in pajamas

Ive always found pajama day odd, even in preschool my sons were like, why are people in their pajamas at school. Its ok to just skip it.

Yes I agree with you and my son doesn't participate either nor do a lot of other boys.

I totally agree with you and I think it's a little silly to buy pajamas for the sole purpose of wearing them to school on a rare occasion.

You can get pretty warm flannel pajamas.

Some parents sure are party poopers.

Pajama Day is supposed to be a fun day for kids whether its pre-k or 12th grade. I agree that most kids already wear pajamas to school (especially middle and high school students) but it's still a fun dress down day.

You don't have to participate in it but there's no need to create a whole forum and drama about this.

And nobody really cares or wants to hear about your kids sleeping naked or not. That's honestly pretty creepy and weird to be posting about.
