[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago, I got into the habit of always changing the minute I got home, into clothes that never go outside.

I think it started because I started sometimes working at a bed table during the day and I didn't want to sit on my bed in clothes that had been outside. Somehow that kind of turned into not wanting to sit on any of my furniture in "outdoor clothes" and therefore treating these two kinds of clothes as totally separate.

So on a typical day I'll get up and get dressed in outdoor clothes so that I can take my kid to school. Then I will return home and put on indoor clothes (not my pajamas from the night before, though they are often loungey clothes like sweatpants) and work until lunchtime. Then I'll run errands during lunch in my same outdoor clothes from the morning, then go home and put the indoor clothes back on. Then outdoor clothes again for school pickup. [b]Then when I get home from that I will shower immediately and change into pajamas.[/b]

On in office days obviously I just wear the same clothes from the time I leave in the morning until I get home at night, but I still shower and change immediately upon getting home.

I know this is vaguely insane, I don't expect many people do this. But does anyone? Ever since I switched to this, I really like it and even have a special place to hang up my outdoor clothes between wearings. I also think it might be helping me with my seasonal allergies since the clothes I'm wearing most of the day have not come into any contact with outdoor allergens.[/quote]

You come home from school pickup and then only shower? How can you not shower in the morning or before leaving house first time in the day? And so that was your BO the other day at pickup!

When you get home, do you shower put on pajamas and just go to sleep? That early? After school was usually messiest (when kids are young): snacks, art projects, raking, playing outside (like a backyard or very close by park), dinner prep (messier if kids are "helping"), dinner, dessert, cleanup, bathing (when kids were teeny tiny), throwing out garbage. Etc. So, do you hang out in pajamas around house after pickup and sleep in the same pajamas?

But yes it is recommended for allergy concerns that you don't wear "outside" clothes inside and don't wear "outside" clothes to bed.[/quote]

You think someone who showers in the evening will have BO at school drop off the next morning? One shower per day plus deodorant is usually plenty to prevent someone from having body odor. Whether people shower at night or in the morning is a personal preference.

I also don't see the problem with putting on pajamas at 5:30 or 6pm and then wearing those to bed, if you don't go outside or do anything that makes you sweat. Especially if you are putting them on a body fresh from the shower? This seems fine to me.[/quote]

One shower a day is not the norm for DCUM. Three is the absolute minimum.[/quote]
