Do you dress your infants and/or toddlers every day even if you're not going anywhere?

What can I do next?

Yes.....I always did...not necessarily early in the day....but I don't like the feeling of an unwashed face and teeth not brushed... and I don't suppose they do either...plus it helps with motivation to get things done.

I'm still in my pj's.
The weather is cold and crappy. I'm exhausted from a very long work week. I don't have to even leave the house today.
I will take a shower soon and put on some nice, comfy, clean pj's and find a movie and do a whole lot of nothing but eat and follow up on my e-mails.

We definitely have pj days. Only on the weekends though. Or if we're sick.

No. But maybe some moms do, babies are cute when they are dolled up. But for sure I don't want to risk the cute dress stained by food and add so many unnecessary laundry. Maybe I will, if I were Victoria Beckham. I am rich, my kid never wear the same dress and always have people do the laundry for me.

Well, it's 5:00pm here, and we're all still in our pjs. I did take a shower earlier, but then just put clean pjs on. :) My boys are 7 and 14, and they stay in pjs all day if we don't leave the house, and I do, too. Today is a dreary, rainy day - they perfect day to stay in pjs all day long!

answers from Kansas City on

During the first couple of months, mine lived in PJs and one piece outfits like that. I might change their pajamas every day or every other day but I didn't necesssarily get them dressed. As toddlers I get them dressed almost every day. There are days certainly when we are still in pjs at nap time and a few times, even dinner time! But for the most part we leave the house every day so we get dressed.

answers from Detroit on

Yes, but not dressy dress. My boys just wear jeans, shorts or sweats. I feel it's just a motivating tool to get out of bed or off the couch and moving.

answers from Los Angeles on

My son is in Kinder now and he went to Pre-K so he gets dressed everyday. Since I have to go to and from school and his activities I dress my 18 month old everyday too.

On the weekends we have games so I dress my daughter and my son is in his uniform but when he gets home and showers if we don't have anything else to do he is in BB shorts until Monday.

I would love to have a PJ day!! :)

answers from Springfield on

I did with my first ... at least for a couple of months. Then I started hearing other moms talk about simply changing their diaper and letting them stay in their pj's and I thought, why am I letting this be yet another thing I have to do?

With my second I did usually dress him, but that's because he had a big brother going to preschool and other activities so we were actually out and about. This morning none of us got dressed until we received an invite to meet my SIL somewhere. Then we all got washed up and dressed.

answers from Allentown on

Nope and I am so glad to see I am not alone. I always feel guilty when we have a pj day(that includes me), but when we don't go out the kids often don't get dressed, I even let them play outside in their pj's. Of course many pj's look like clothing anyway. But we have many days when we just don't get dressed. sometimes we will shower or bathe and just put clean ones on. Cuts down on the amount of laundry, especially when my kids want to wear new pj's every night.
