[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my DG and he said he wore full PJ’s to sleep always. But, he came from a mix-gendered household and had a sister. Households with all sons seem to be the ones with kids sleeping in the nude or in underwear. My friend has two sons and they are always in just boxers. Interesting light on this discussion.[/quote]

I grew up in the 1970s and had an older sister and brother.  Starting at the age of 8,  I always slept in just tighty whities like my dad and older brother.  Would often eat breakfast and watch Saturday morning cartoons in just my underwear.  Never thought that was inappropriate and neither my mom or sister ever commented negatively.

Based on sleepovers, sleep attire for boys varied a lot in the 9-12 age. Some wore pajamas, some wore pj bottoms without the top, some wore underwear and a t-shirt and some in just underwear, which was always briefs in the 70s.  I never noticed where having a female sibling had any influence on sleepwear.

Never knew anyone who slept in just their birthday suit back then, that would’ve have been considered pretty weird in my Southern Baptist suburban, conservative world.[/quote]
