So the night before pajama day is inevitably when I realize they don't have a single pair of PJs that could decently be worn out of the house without someone contacting CPS.

What do the kids in your 6th grader's class wear on the other 179+ days of school ?


11 yr old wears undies. That's it.


To school?

Our HS does it but my kids were never into wearing pjs to school so they just dress normally anyway.

My first-grader LOVES the days she gets to wear pajamas to school.

Everything is embarrassing in middle school. Wait until high school.


No, starting in kindergarten he wouldn’t. Still won’t in 7th.


He sounds fun!

I am an elementary teacher and I wear pjs on pj day. It's great!

However, I worry if it's very cold outside that some of the kids in their little, thin, often too small pjs should be outside.

So you are raising your son to be an uptight prick like yourself?
