Kids in their Jammies!

My kids used to have different pyjamas every night, I always used to put them in clean ones, especially when they were really little ones because they used to get them dirty so fast. Now though they are older and so they generally wear their pyjamas for a couple of nights now before I get them in the wash. It saves me a lot of unecessary washing and mither.

You must be living in North America. In most countries in the world water and electricity are at a premium and people wash only dirty clothes. Unless your kids are very small and still wear diapers those jammies are not dirty in any way. Just fold them and put them back under their pillows Also disuss with them in simple terms that the planet earth is ailing and we need to do all we can to preserve and conserve so when your children have kids of their own there will still be enough water and power for them to have a comfortable life. Teach your kids to live "green". Have a nice day.

They think this because when you were a stay at home mom, they were use to wearing clean jammies every night. I have taken my daughters jammies off the floor and folded them back up for her to wear again....if she asked, i would jsut say they are clean and she would think that i washed them. I agree, they can wear them more than once before they are dirty.

Funny, I was just thinking about this. I, and my son, wear the same pajamas a couple of nights before washing- unless his diaper leaks. I am a SAHM, but don't see the need to do more laundry than is necessary. I have enough to do already. Plus, for mine, they wear out faster when you wash more often, so I'm saving money- not to mention the money saved from not doing extra laundry. However, I can see why it would be hard for children to change these habits. It is what they are used to. I say, model for them what you want them to do. If that doesn't work, show them how to do the laundry and with the extra work they may decide it's ok to wear them a second time.

My kids also love their pjs, in fact they have collected a week use of pj, they have 7 sets. They change before sleeping and usually change again only when they will take a bath. Sometimes they usually go to supermarket in it As for your problem, you just have to use some force on telling them to re use their pjs. Or maybe you lead an example to them, some kids are like that, they would only do what you tell them to if you are doing it. Good luck on the kids and on the laundry too. (why is it that we all dread laundry?)

Children by nature are very playful. Just don't get bothered of the dirt they get because from dirt they learned. Interactive games are very effective way for children to learn because their curiousity will be explored and by it they get learned. Just allow them to be untidy sometimes because it is natural and its normal for kids.

I am a stay at home mom and wear pjs all day long. Pjs which are shorts and a shirt and I put them in the dirty clothes basket after I take a bath but if I would just wear them for a short period of time and they were not dirty I would wear them again. Once my kids start going to school I may have that problem no rush lol. Then I would have to get out of my pjs rofl.

My kids have always worn a different pair of pajamas every night. My kids sweat like crazy in their sleep, so their pajamas really do get dirty at night while they are in bed sleeping.

Lol, I can relate. Old habits are hard to break, even with kids. They don't like to get out of their routine, even when they are older like yours. My motto is, "Tough, just live with it or do the laundry yourself." They rather wear it again;)

I would love it if my children could wear a pair of jammies more than one night, but like an earlier respondant, they sweat in their sleep. Because they kick off the covers, they usually have to wear pajamas in the summer when it's warm for the first few hours in the evening. They also usually eat their breakfast before they get dressed so there is sometimes milk spilled on them. At least now, they are so small that the clothes don't take up a lot of space in the washer.
