[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who suggested the pajama pants again. I think the long t-shirt would be fine with such close friends. Go for it. [/quote]

NP here. So he'd be wearing an oversized t-shirt but with no pants on underneath? I don't know that I'd be OK with that, at another family's house.

Does the friend have any other siblings? I feel like you're setting him up for teasing by allowing to go without pants at a friend's house like this. [/quote]

DP. It’s fine. Girls wear nightgowns. When the boys get older, many only wear boxers. Even at sleepovers. The long tee is okay as long as he’s comfortable and this is a good friend. [/quote]

Pre-pandemic, my boys stayed the night with close friends almost constantly. Whether it be at their families house or ours, underwear and/or boxers was absolutely the norm around bedtime. This is seriously not a big deal.

We're a household of only boys, so my judgement may be a bit skewed here somewhat, but I feel like it wouldn't phase me in the slightest to have a kid run around in a pull up before bedtime. If anything, a pull up is even more modest than regular underwear. If the OP's kid is going to be wearing a long shirt, 9 times out of 10 you probably wouldn't even know he's wearing a one at all. If my 7 year old kid is staying overnight with your family, then I certainty trust you enough for you to see them in a pull up for a few minutes before bed.

Completely fine.[/quote]
