One person stays in pajamas at home some days for comfort and to avoid extra laundry while maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. Older acquaintances advise dressing daily, arguing that looking one's best can boost confidence and prevent regret when unexpectedly encountering others, yet wearing pajamas at home when comfortable is considered acceptable. Another person in their 50s reports a mother who persistently asks about the family’s income; the person considers financial information private, sometimes provides fabricated figures, and believes monetary details should not determine familial closeness or the quality of their relationship.
A couple of days a week, when I have no plans and no place to go, I stay in my pajamas. They are comfy, and I figure why get clothes dirty just to make more laundry and waste soap and water? Well, older people tell me I should dress every day. I don't see the problem. I shower regularly, wash my pajamas and other clothes, and keep my house and yard clean.
She constantly asks me how much my annual income is and how much my husband makes. In the 20-plus years we have been married, we have never asked to borrow money from my parents (or anyone, for that matter). We have always worked hard and managed our finances to ensure the needs of our family are met. Dad is gone now, and for some reason, Mom has become overly invested in knowing our finances.
