Morning routine and your in-laws

I was wondering if any of you could help me with this...

I have understood that living with my future in-laws is a must but I don't know how much of my routine I have to change. I'm pretty conservatively dressed and keep to myself. I don't do anything ridiculous. I'm a social drinker, a non smoker, and I'm vegetarian. But when it comes to adjusting to living with my in laws...can I come downstairs in my pajamas in the morning? That is one thing that really upsets me. Living there, making it my home as well, and then being expected to be ready to go before I even come down and have a cup of tea. BF says no way - it's my dress too and I don't have to be ready for the day before I come downstairs. I have no one to really ask as none of my family who lives with their in-laws is anything less than 40 something and from a different generation. I'm curious to see what is okay. I wouldn't come down in anything skimpy, maybe pants and a t shirt. I don't know what pushing the envelope is and I think that this is the kind of little stuff that really gets to me when it comes to who I live with and how.

    I had written such a long post...and I'm not sure I didn't get added to this thread :(

    Anywhoo I would be comfortable but be more conservative...

    like in my parents house I don't use a house coat and i feel comfy coming out of my room in a tank top and shorts...i may not do that at my inlaws...well at least no in the beginning....

    I say that you're fine with what you're thinking - the tshirt and pj pants should be totally fine. From what you've said in the past, your future in laws seem very understanding and want you to be comfortable in the house, too.

    Maybe if you feel comfortable with your future mother in law you can ask her things like this?

    Regardless, they know you are human and not a "bahau-bot" that is always ready to go and always at their service!

    I think you should definitely feel comfortable coming down in pjs.  When I am at FI's parents house I wear sweats and t-shirt or tank top.  And usually have a little zippy sweater over it.  I do also just make sure I don't bring pjs that are thin or sheer in any way... and I do typically put a bra on before I go down but other than that I am pretty comfortable when there.

    Pj's sound fine to me!! If you start off wearing them no one will expect you to be fully dressed when you walk downstairs. I think it wont be a factor at all loooking am my friends situations that live in with inlaws they are very relaxed and wear pjs till they need to get ready to go out!
