So... who's done the school run in pyjamas?

OK OK
I was fortunate to be a school with a lovely set of Mums !!!
And I do believe most people are decent - just don't always think sometimes

If that makes me a bad person....I'll live with it

(and you lot KNOW I'm no pushover when it comes to strong opinions )

If someone is immuno compromised and having chemo that's even less reason to go out underdressed, surely.. :eek:

If you have no-one to take the kids to school in this particular situation then do you

Keep them home - compromising their education and your rest/recovery

OR

Decide going out whilst not ideal is the lesser of the two evils even if you don't even have the energy to get dressed.


In Elise's situation I'd have gone for option 2 too.

I am concerned that someone that tired is behind the wheel, to be honest.

I used to have a fifteen minute walk to primary school with my son and I used to really enjoy the time we spent walking to school as it was often really good talking time together. We'd leave in plenty of time so it was a stroll not a rush and enjoy the time . Time to chat without distractions -it was simply quality time together just the two of us.

Totally agree.

I enjoyed those walks to and from school when my kids were at primary - for exactly the reasons you have given.

When they went to secondary, and the 'walk to school' stopped, I really felt a sense of loss.

nd I'd be concerned that no-one offered to take the kids to school -probably too busy judging

You couldn't handle a 5 minute walk?

No wonder kids today are lardy

No, I said there were lots of times I drove them rather than letting them walk in the rain or with heavy bags, etc. Most of the time they walked, but I saw no need for them to have to sit in school all day in wet socks and shoes for no good reason.

How you made the leap from that to 'you couldn't handle a 5 minute walk' is beyond me.

I've just walked down the driveway to put out a bag of rubbish whilst wearing my pjs. Shoot me now

There you go - as requested.

You may have to shoot me too as I got up early to bring in the wheelie bin in a big coat over my pjs.
