Mum slams parents wearing pyjamas on school run in the AFTERNOON saying she wouldn’t let her children play with theirs
A MUM has slammed parents who wear pyjamas on the school run in the afternoon and says she doesn't want her kids playing with theirs.
Ayresome Primary School, in Middlesbrough, banned parents from wearing the nighttime attire while on the school run, in a Facebook post last week.
But despite the ban parents were today still wearing dressing gowns to drop their kids off, despite the school insisting nightwear was"not appropriate".
At home time, the Sun saw one woman in a blue shirt and grey pyjama bottoms walking past with her son, who looked around the age of 10, while he was riding a bike.
Her hair was loosely tied in a bun.
After being approached, she refused to comment stating her throat hurt but confirmed her child attended the school.
Uzma Khatoon, a 32-year-old housewife, with two children, said: "The children are not happy because some parents are wearing their nightclothes at the school gate.
"It’s not good for children. Children copy what they see and when they’re older they think it’s okay to dress like that."

Ms Khatoon said she felt it looked bad on the school and the area.
She added: "There are so many people wearing pyjamas. If parents are in their pyjamas I wouldn’t let my children be friends with their children outside of school.
"Sometimes my children get scared of the people dressed like that."
Earlier a mum was pictured wearing pyjamas and a light grey hooded dressing gown while taking her child to school while a dad was also seen wearing a dark-coloured dressing gown and slippers.
Other parents were spotted wearing pyjama bottoms while a few wore slippers and crocs instead of shoes.
On Friday the school shared a post about the parents' clothing, which has since gone viral on social media.
It read: "Please can we ask that all parents/carers dress appropriately when dropping off and collecting children from school.
"Dressing gowns on the school yard are not appropriate."
Some parents slammed others opting for comfort in their housecoats as "embarrassing".
One dad told : "I'm absolutely sick of it. It's not hard to get dressed in the morning.
"Imagine how much those kids are going to be ridiculed when they get
into school.
"They don't even put on a fresh pair to come and collect them. A lot of the parents are disgusted by it."
Another dad commented: "The mams shouldn't be coming to school in their pyjamas.
"They're night clothes for a reason so why would you come out in them during the daytime?
"The children will think it's acceptable and start repeating it."
But some Facebook users did not think the new dress code was important, saying "who cares".

Someone wrote: "Why does everyone judge others so much? I mean I don’t and wouldn't but it’s cold, if they want to wear a dressing gown leave them to it."
"They might have had a bad morning or struggling with their mental health or just want to climb back in bed when they get home. Big deal."
