Joy at Home Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sometimes my kids sleep in their clothes. And I let them. Because it's one less thing to wash. That's all. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniferlee Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Right there with you on this one I used to fight it. Not so much these days. just noticed that your kids are exactly the same ages as mine. I have 5 as well. But 3 are boys. There's just too much else to do to worry about whether they are in proper bedtime clothing every night.

SquirrellyMama Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My kids sometimes sleep in their clothing also. Sometimes they wear their clothing all day, sleep in it and wear it again the next day because I can't tell. :blush: My youngest child asked me the other day if she should take off her socks for the night. When I said yes she said, "That's good because I've been wearing them for 4 days." :eek: :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Wanna hear mine? We don't own any PJs! :D:D:D We tried for years and it never worked, so now the boys sleep in a T-shirt and undies in the summer and in sweats and a Tee in the winter. I sleep in sweats and a Tee and DH usually sleeps in his sweats or a pair of comfy shorts. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 LOL Sometimes I fold their clothes right back up and put them back in the drawer if they aren't noticeably dirty. (We pay $3 per load of laundry at the present.:glare:) Sometimes mine live all day in their jammies.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Dd refuses to wear pajamas unless I'm changing her in the middle of the night after she's wet the bed. I suppose at that stage, she's too traumatised to think of fashion. Ah well, she doesn't get around in a spiky dog collar, so while not ideal, there's no harm done to her or the mattress.

Impish Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My kids get pjs Christmas Eve. That's cause we'll be taking pics the next am, and I want to make sure they're not wearing their undies. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginszoo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sometimes mine do too (my older ones often do). I don't really care about the items to wash. Dh handles that, and he'd prefer for them to change. But it's just not a hill I want to climb, much less die on. If I notice they're over 24 hours, certainly approaching 48 hours in the same clothes, I do send them to change. But sometimes I don't think that I notice.

elegantlion Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm not sure my son owns pjs that fit. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 LOL - my almost 14 and 15 yo just DON"T UNDERSTAND why I ask them to wear pj's.... I've basically given up unless we have house guests or are staying somewhere else :) Of course, I'm usually in bed before they are anymore, so who knows....

ChemMommy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've done that since the kids were out of diapers. I'm relieve to know that others do this, too. Also, I don't bathe them every day. Shhh!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Just be careful when they start wearing making up or using acne meds at night. My son slept in some day clothes, after putting acne meds on. Head laid on arm, bleached the clothing in spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sometimes I sleep in my own clothes. My dh left last weekend to work out-of-state. The children and I will follow in a few months. Until I get use to this arrangement, I feel as if I am in this "ready" state. I've been sleeping dressed the last few night. Well, actually I haven't been sleeping much. Just not use to not having him here. Other times that I've slept in my clothes were when the weather was bad or expected to be bad, when there were a string of children being kidnapped from their homes (wasn't sleeping much then either), or if a child is sick (or I'm due to deliver any time). It just varies. I'm just weird like that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silliness7 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 my boys do this too. It drives me nuts but at least it does make for less laundry. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunD Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The only pajamas we own were gifts. :001_smile: Yesterday I was discussing the kids' Christmas gifts with my mom, and she said, "Yeah, I agree that it would be better to go with the cheaper one. Then they could have another gift too, like pajamas!" I was thinking, "Well, in that case, let's go with the more expensive option because the pajamas are not going to be worn." But I didn't say it. We always wore pajamas! I do send/bring pajamas to others' homes because I've gotten some comments. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Here too! I have hand me down pjs for the baby, but I don't think I'll ever buy pjs for our family again. :) We re-wear if clothing isn't dirty. It helps that the girls like to just be in their underwear. So if they wear a shirt it's often only for a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 We used to have them change into their "tomorrow clothes" right after their evening bath if we had to leave the house early the next morning. It became a habit they have kept -- at least half the time they just sleep in regular clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I usually make a soft push for pjs... but I never push for clothes the next day if we're staying home. And then they sleep in the same pjs. So I'm not sure what I think I'm accomplishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My kids do all the time. My oldest takes a shower at night, puts on clean clothes, sleeps in them and then is dressed already for the next day. Saves him time he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I consider it an accomplishment when my 3 year old falls asleep wearing anything on her body. I don't care if it's yesterday's clothes, tomorrow clothes, or PJ's. I'm even happy if she is just wearing underwear. I can't tell you how many times she has crawled into bed with me in the middle of the night completely naked and ice cold. SHe takes everything off, falls asleep and then wakes up cold and comes into my bed and expects me to warm up her naked cold body. So any piece of clothing on her body is good in my opinion.

SKL Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My kids quit wearing PJs when they were tots. But they do have a bunch of them that they've gotten as gifts, and they will wear them once in a long while. I wish they didn't take up so much space in the drawer.
