I must be a horrible mom, but I will admit that my oldest kid used to do the same thing. He would shower and put on his nylon basketball shorts and his clean socks, t-shirt and jump into bed. The next morning all he had to do was roll out and eat his pnt butter toast, put on his hoodie, slip on his Vann's, brush his teeth, and GO.

I love how many of us are owning up to being "horrible moms". Makes me feel like we are all probably just perfectly normal moms surviving kids the best way we know how.

One of my heavy sleepers is a 6'3" 225 llb. Freshman tackle. Believe me I know about picking battles, 10 years of therapy taught me to pick my battles well indeed. I stand by my comment....never knew any child that was put to bed in tomorrows clothing. Whatever.

As Katy along with several others expressed this particular issue is rather common, and dare I say more common with boys than girls(tho, I'm quite certain there are girls who too go thru a phase of sleeping in next day's school attire..lol)
And I agree with you, vasportsmom in it being a good thing that we are able to come here and throughout these type discussions be able to freely admit or express areas or details of our lives with somewhat full and/or uncensored disclosure..and to find that after all we are not so odd, weird, bad, etc ..much different in that many, and I'd even say ALL OF US are quite similar in one way or another that becomes apparent in us honestly broaching various different parts of our lives that ordinarily wouldn't be spoken about(and the reason for why normally not spoken about is wide ranging from the subject being taboo, a bit embarrassing, or even that a particular subject may be seen as "wrong" or "bad" to society in general)..
IMO we find that all of us are nothing more, nor nothing less than just human and that for the most part we each live and learn, as well as most are always striving to be a better parent..or to be a better person in general..
WS IMO is a great place for more than just following tragedies and crimes that make their way into MSM..its also very much a cathartic way to be able to openly and honestly have meaningful discussions about our own personal lives and the multiple different facets within each of our lives{alot of which takes place downstairs

Just as spoken about above we learn from fellow members how similar or dissimilar we are in various ways so, too is it in that as Monroe12 expressed that she had never known of anyone ever having or allowing any of their children to ever go to bed dressed in the child's next day attire for school..
Monroe, you can say that you now, in fact do know of multiple different people who not only are familiar with this sleeping in next days school attire, but even several who have or have had children at some phase in their life having been known to absolutely sleep in their next days school attire...lol..

But of course your standing by your original thoughts on the matter are fully valid as well..its just that IMO this is a small, innocuous example of where we are always having our eyes opened to issues or subjects that prior to we had no earthly idea ever even existed or that people actually did or allowed their children to do..
