When you stay at family's...

[hannamaren]

When you stay with family/friends ( not your own parents) do you change into comfortable clothes at some point? Pjs closer to bedtime?
And in the morning, do you wander around in your pjs for a bit or do you put clothes on as soon as you leave your room?

Staying with H family next week and in some ways, they are so proper, I know there will only be regular clothes (and nice ones) from sunup to sundown. Thankfully only a few days

I put on my PJs at bedtime, same as at home. I wear them in the morning until I shower, so I do spend some time hanging around in them.

My pjs are normally yoga pants and a tshirt. Will change at night if we are just hanging out. Will do breakfast before changing. I normally leave a bra on if I'm out of the room and toss a hoodie on if it is chilly. It took a while to feel like I could do this at MIL's.

We're staying with my grandma right now; my cousin and her mom are also here. I'm wearing (lululemon) sweatpants, a l/s (old running) pajama t-shirt, and (lululemon) sweatshirt. And I've taken my contacts out and schlubbing it in my glasses. My only "must" is that I wear a bra when I'm not in our room.

Wander in PJ's, but definitely wear a bra.

Even at my own parents, I get up, race to the shower in pjs (carefully timed so as not to see anyone) and change into my clothes for the day (with dry hair and makeup) before joining everyone else.

I don't change into pjs until I am back in our family's room for the night.

[hannamaren]

There are 15 of us staying at my H's Aunts house
Supposedly very large house (has an indoor pool- cool) but as I said, all proper.

[pamela]

Yes, but I choose more modest PJs than usual. Like yoga pants and a tee and keep my bra on except for bed.

[IrishBelle]

When we're at my sister's place I will usually get up in the morning and but on a bra before leaving my room. I hang out in my pyjamas until after breakfast and then shower and get dressed. At night I usually stay in my clothes until I go to bed.

We stay with DH's aunt and they are pretty casual. I always see her in pjs and a robe. I definitely wear sweats there.

[Nonny]

I wear my PJ's and a bra, depending on who is around. Just my mom, sister, and I, no bra, but if my BIL is around I'll leave it on. I do try to keep my PJ's coordinated and cute (I do mismatched flannel bottoms + old t-shirts or tanks).

[Roc A Bee]

Eh at my inlaws I don't wear a bra. I just don't care

[winnied]

I eventually change into yoga pants in the afternoon and then into PJs right when I'm going to bed. In the morning I get fully dressed before seeing anyone. Hs family doesn't care about what I wear, it's just something I do for myself.

This. Though I don't always wear a bra if I'm with my family (i.e. with my mom, sister, and DH). Always with his family.

I'm in a sweatshirt and yoga pants the entire time. I get up and switch into that and a bra before leaving the bedroom (minus bra if it's just with my family but with bra if BILs are staying).

[heygrey]

The first time I visited h's family I packed accordingly for a three day weekend and came home with almost all clean clothes. We only changed out of sweatpants to leave the house twice. I knew then it was a good family to marry into :-)

I tend to clean myself up and put real clothes on by 10am or so, but I have no reservations about hanging out in sweats if we're having a lazy day.

Ditto

Stay dressed, change only when going to bed or, if it's a young married friend/young married mom my age, I'll put on yoga pants when she does, but still with a nice top. I wear full makeup every day even when home alone. I always wear a bra, even to bed.

[BNL2]

When I stay with friends during girls' trips I lounge in PJs without a bra. We all do. When I'm at MILs I usually dress quickly but will chat a little in PJs right before bed. I try to keep a bra on then. At my mother's home, I don't even attempt nice PJs. I revert back to my teen years and wear ratty shorts and t-shirts with no bra. I often stay like that for hours. I love going "back home".

[snakeoiltanker]

My dads family is very formal. While we could go to breakfast in pjs we always had to wear a robe over them and slippers. The slippers were a big thing. Apparently bare feet were improper.

[smiley]

The only family we really stay with is my parents and we put on our pj's before bedtime and stay in them in the morning. If we were staying with cousins or something I would probably get dressed in the morning or at least make sure I had a bra and underwear on under my pj's first before walking out.

Yoga pants & hoodie. It sucks that you can't relax with Hs family. That must be hard. It would have been so funny if you had bought 15 pair of silly XMAS pjs, given a pair to everyone & asked for a group photo! Not MM but it might lighten the mood? At least it would have been a funny story. All these formal people in reindeer pjs. Lol.

I put on my PJs (technically flannel pants and a t-shirt, with sweatshirt thrown on until I actually go to sleep) right before I put the kids to bed so that I don't have to bother them rummaging through the suitcase later. We're never really dressed up, though, so hanging out in jeans and a shirt or sweater until then is no big deal.

In the morning, we definitely wander in PJs. I can't always get into the shower right away since I'm helping the girls with breakfast and keeping them from waking up the rest of the house (if they've gotten up early). Once everyone else is awake then I can usually sneak off to shower and dress but I don't feel the need to rush unless we have somewhere to go.

[zacksbride]

we pretty much live in sweats at our own house - literally as soon as we enter the door, DH and i make a beeline to our bedroom to get real clothes off and comfy ones on.

so, as people who love comfy clothes, i have no problem hanging out in PJs at others house. i don't do it to the extreme that we do at our house, but when i get up, before breakfast, definitely in PJs. Only difference is i keep a bra on at others house.

We only ever stay with my parents or sometimes I'll go visit my BFF by myself. Otherwise we stay at a hotel when visiting other family members and friends. With them I feel comfortable enough to wear yoga pants and a stretchy t-shirt around the house which is what I wear at home if we're not going out. My H is the kind of person who needs to take a shower and get fully dressed right after waking up.

But for the sake of argument, if we were staying with someone else, I'd wear regular clothes until bedtime.

[Deleted]

PJs, but my Pjs are yoga pants and t-shirt when I'm traveling.

[sporky]

Always fully dressed when we're around them. Of course, we also started staying at a hotel so we don't have to worry about early morning and late evening awkwardness.

[diamondsnpearls22]

I wear PJs in the morning, no bra, I just throw a hoodie on. Then if we are just chilling around the house, I put on yoga pants and a t-shirt. I am very relax around my in-laws, so glad they don't care.

I gather from this thread that I am in the minority of people who wear a bra to bed.

I already have small boobs, I can't let them get saggy lol.

Mine were perky and small with or without a bra
Now they are saggy and small but comfort wins everytime

[cjeanette]

We never have to travel to family but at friends I wear cute jammies and a bra.
