There were times (when depressed and tired) that I would literally drive dc to school in my pajamas with a jacket on. Sometimes in a long flannel gown. I would just hope I didn’t have to get out of the car for any reason.

I wah and only walk the dog most days (have older kids who drive). I get dressed in the am 100% of the time, as well as light makeup and brush my hair. I do either jeans or black pants and a sweater, flats or booties, or sometimes a lounge top and bottom, but put together, always earrings or a necklace. If you just get dressed and make your bed in the am, it will have a positive effect on everything.


What a waste of water to wash all that stuff no one will see.

Also, making your bed is contraindicated for those with dust mite allergies (many, many of us, so many that it's stupid blanket advice).


OK, so straighten the covers. Or do dust mites only dislike a mess of covers?

Dressing decently does not necessarily mean someone is wasting water. Do you not ever wash your lounging clothes?

I like to look put together, so yes, I do put on a pair of jeans and a nicer t-shirt or sweater in the winter, but a lot of women just wear their "athleisure". I do not bother with makeup.

It's not a waste of water - you have to wash the clothes you wear each day no matter what. Unless...you wear the same clothes every day without washing them?

Why don’t you get yourself together and put your face on for your man in the morning?



Hahahahahahaha. That’s either hilarious or sad.

I’m with you, dress for fun. I enjoy to wear lingerie under jeans or stretch pants with a sweat shirt or button down shirt. Wearing lingerie makes me feel confident. I wear heels and boots more than I do sneakers or flats. I’m sure the other mothers and a few fathers notice me when I’m at school.

Sleeping in spandex or leggings is great way to get bv. Lady bits needs to breathe!

I always dress up fully in work wear, even though I do 100% wfh. I am not a casual dresser and never got into sweats. Grew up oversees. So yes picking up kids walking dog, it's work wear. Some clothing this past week are:

Silk blouse and pencil skirt
Knit dress
Knit top and corduroy skirt

I wear thick black tights to stay warm.

No one notices what you are wearing, I promise.

Sorry for the incomplete post!
2. Morning drop off is done in exercise gear, then I go exercise before starting work.
3. Shower and put on jeans and a sweater or something else semi-fashionable.
You don’t have to get dressed up for school, but it’s nice to feel like you have on real clothes sometimes.

agreed with PP
Focus on showering and whatever makes you comfortable

Showering and forcing yourself to get up is half the battle

Wishing you the best OP

Pajama pants slippers and whatever I’m wearing on top for zoom calls (blazer with shirt or a sweater usually). I don’t get out of the car and pick her up on a street with no other cars or parents. This is literally the last thing I worry about in my life.
