While this is true, I would say they notice. I’m mean - pajama pants?! How lazy can you be? Pull on black leggings, joggers or yoga pants. But rolling out of bed and going to your kids school? People don’t care what op does, but that doesn’t mean s/he’s not leaving an impression. [/quote]

What is the f-ing difference?  None, really.  Do you have an IQ of 5?[/quote]

:roll: Says the person dropping f bombs.

The difference is effort, self respect, respect for your kids as you are making an impression on the people in their lives. Again, I don’t care, but don’t pretend people don’t notice. [/quote]

If this is your bar, not interested in your opinion of me.   You have a narrow view of what constitutes self-respect.  So shallow.  I'm more interested in your character, the meaningful things you do with your lives, the way you treat those kids and those teachers.  The fact that pj pants is a deal-breaker for you suggests you lack real compassion or character.

I'm quite sure the teachers prefer the nice lady in her pj pants who thanks them and is respectful than the dolled-up mom constantly demanding this or that for her snowflake.

Our society has wasted time on this stuff for too long.[/quote]

Amen. The amount of money and time women waste to look a certain way for strangers is mind boggling. It only matters because people choose to keep thinking that it matters. [/quote]
Honestly, you could put a gun to my head, and I couldn't remember what anyone was wearing at school drop off. [/quote]

This!!! I could only remember one - a mom who is now a friend - and that’s because during the early pandemic days when we were in person she always was dressed nicely and it stood out compared to our wfh survival gear. [/quote]

I work with a lot of extremely brilliant and successful women, many with young kids. While I have never dropped off in PJs, I am not so sanguine as to think it could never happen. We have a saying in my workplace that for every mother in the workplace with a messy bun and car-lipstick, there is a kid at school in perfectly matching bows (or matching mittens/hat). Everyone gets the same number of minutes in the morning and someone spending those minutes on their kid instead of their pants doesn’t impact me in the least.[/quote]
