I'm incapable of virtually anything in the morning till I've had a shower. And after one, capable of very little.

I've heard many men complain that their wives don't dress up anymore and I've seen a lot of shabby mother's at the school gates of my little man's school.

That said I've seen lots of men in crocs and slippers so just assumed that some people have absolutely no care about what they or their partner looks like in public. Most humans who are better off than others show it in how they dress and behave....most!

On the work front I work from home sometimes and get nothing done unless I shave, shower and put some proper clothes on. I don't wear pajamas so it probably wouldn't be good to go out in my bed wear!

N.
It goes both ways to be fair- if your partner has stopped maing an effort and you take your partner for granted chances are you're doing the same thing. I used to do some personal styling back in blighty and one of the things I used to hear from women is my husband doesn't fancy me anymore but then I'd tell them to look in the mirror and ask them if they fancied themselves? At that point the tears would start and the Ive gained weight/had a baby stuff would start etc. Not knowing how to dress for your size due to weight gain is one thing and just giving up on yourself is not exactly going to make your partner want you- just cause you gain a few pounds it doesn't mean you can't make the most of yourself. A bit of make up and nice undies make you feel a whole lot better about yourself than drudging around in PJs. If you feel like you are looking good then you generally are more productive and more positive about yourself. Self esteem is a powerful thing!

Crocs should only be worn by children or old people gardening- anyone else wearing them shouldbe shot.

Crocs are suitable attire for Theatre Nurses

Confession time, surprised Meow hasn't told you all anyway, I do the school run in my PJ's, and Kitty the husband has left the house before I even get up so he doesn't see though he knows I don't even have to get out of the car as their is a drop of section at school. I wear a lightweight jacket over them so everything thinks I am dressed. I come home and take time to have a nice shower, make up and face the rest of the world

Crocs are horrible bits of plastic that some people call shoes- you can see similar things worn on the feet of people that have been committed.

crocs are the epitome of excellence...
I wore them to the best raves i've ever been to

only the most imbecilic meathead would get them caught in an escalator


plus why exactly would the principal get involved in some parents' lack of taste/employable skills?
