My child is in a preschool in the 3 year old class and one of the boys in his class wears striped pajama pants or a full set of pajamas to school EVERY SINGLE DAY. 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?! |
People will tell you to mind your own business, but kids at my DD’s school do this, too, and it drives me nuts for reasons I can’t articulate. Especially when they look slept-in. |
Why do you care? Preschool kids are all about comfort, not fashion. |
Interesting. I can think of several reasons. |
Drives you crazy? Really? |
You are going to have a difficult time navigating through life - I can tell.
Maybe you should move to a deserted island where you'll never run into other people. |
mom of teens here, and I suspect it would be because by the time they got clothes on their kid, class would be over, and/or they and their kid would be so upset, it would be pointless in coming.
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. |
The bigger issue is why this drives you crazy. Have you thought about that? This is only going to get harder as you child get older. |
At that age my kids wore soft cotton items, like soft cotton pants or shorts and a soft tee or long sleeve tee depending on the weather. They weren’t pajamas and weren’t “slept in”, but were very pajama-like in terms of softness. I wanted them to be comfy all day and especially during nap. I never understood parents who put coarse-looking jeans or high boots or other constrictive clothes in kids.
Op, perhaps, you are annoyed because it is simply aesthetic, you like a more put together, effort made, fresh look, which can also be comfy? |
Sounds like kids with parents who pick their battles wisely.
You only get a few short years in life to hang out in PJs all day. |
It would annoy me too, unless they are babies. Just seems disorganized and unhygienic. Are the kids wearing underwear with their pjs. |
This is 100% lazy parenting. |
Honestly I prefer seeing 3-year-olds in comfy pyjamas vs skinny jeans or button pants. |
Who cares |
I agree. And think it's kind of cute. |
