Dear Matron
My mother insists on very early bedtimes even though I am now almost seventeen. It doesn’t matter who is present in our house, my bath time is seven P.M. (after teatime and homework). I then have to be in my pyjamas which she insists have to be the kind that have tie-cord bottoms and a jacket that buttons to the neck and they make me look ridiculous. For seven nights a week I have to be ready for bed by 7:30, in bed by 7:45 with lights out by eight. If I try to protest I am spanked across mother's lap as if I was a little boy.
This bedtime routine applies not only on school days and weekends, but holidays too which I think is particularly unfair. If we are attending a party or function, we always leave early with my mother explaining to everyone that it is getting near to my bedtime and she need to get me home so I can be bathed and put into my pyjamas.
What is even more humiliating was what occurred last Christmas. We were at a family party and my aunt, at my mothers suggestion, had gifted me striped pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers. Mother insisted on changing me into my new bedtime outfit before leaving the family party so she could, "just pop him straight into bed when we get home.”
I have two younger cousins, Peter and Rebecca and I shudder to think how embarrassed I was sitting in my night attire like a little boy while they were still dressed in their day clothes.
Mother thinks children should not grow up too fast and has never considered my early bedtimes to be a punishment. However, when I am being put to bed at 8 pm in the middle of summer with the sound of much younger children playing in their back gardens until after dark it certainly feels like one.
Mother had indicated that my early bedtimes will continue until I am at least eighteen and it is nothing to do with me what kind of pyjamas I wear.
Would you please write to my mother and persuade her to stop treating me like a little boy and let me have a later bedtime?
Michael.

Dear Michael
Under no circumstances will I be writing to your mother recommending that she change your bedtime. I may well write to her to tell her about your letter and to advise she imposes an even earlier bedtime and increase the amount of spankings she administers. Who do you think you are questioning your mothers decisions? If she thinks you need an eight o'clock bedtime then that is her decision to make. At seventeen you are still a minor and must obey your mother, it is up to her what pyjamas you wear and what time you go to bed so knuckle down, do as you are told and she may let you stay up until nine o'clock when you turn eighteen.

Matron is absolutely right. For writing this letter his bedtime should be immediately brought forward an hour at the very least.
ReplyDeleteMake it 6:00 p.m. on weekends or even earlier. She needs to take him with when she goes shopping for a leather strap to tan his bottom.
ReplyDeleteI can’t support such a whining boy. How can he have the cheek to ask a later bedtime, on the excuse he’s 17 years? My son Jordan is already 19 and his sleepy-bye is at 6 p.m. every day including weekends. As his daddy, I’ve to be in bed at the same time… and I’m 44 years old! My 2th wife (and stepmother of my son) is absolutely inflexible about our bedtime. She’s very strict but fair too. She got me used to early bedtime since our honeymoon. At the beginning, I felt that really restricting and boring, but as I was in love, I obeyed and went to bed as soon as she told. Today I feel that’s a good thing. Jordan is disciplined like me since he returned to me. Before he returned, he was seriously unruly and gave me many troubles. Of course, he took a few time to get used to be put to bed so early, but after few spankings and many whole weekends in bed as a punishment, he understood finally the best for him (and for me…) was to become an obeying boy. Since I had to be in bed at the same time and in the same room (“the nursery”), he felt that as less humiliating and childish. At present, he get into bed on time without grumbling and I haven’t more troubles about him. He’s even often ready for bed before me.
ReplyDeleteI think that Michaël should need also a 6:00 pm bedtime.
Great to hear from Luc again and delighted that Jordan has settled into his bedtime regime. It really is the best place for the two of them to be tucked up in bed no later than six. I look forward to hearing from Luc again with updates on his disciplinary regime.
DeleteDear Luc: Has you wife bought a strap for Jordan? I know that got me to accept whatever bedtime my mother wants for me. Maybe Jordan's weekend bedtime can be adjusted to 4 or 5 like mine is. Even a peep of complaint results in me feeling the two stinging tails of her strap.
DeleteIt seems that Jordan has settled into his bedtime regime and does not need the strap. However a regular dose of it for him and Luc would do them no harm as a reminder.
DeleteYour photo reminds me of the times I used to stay with my Grandparents. Not having nightwear of my own, my Gran would dress me in a pair of my Grandads striped pyjamas before tucking me in .
ReplyDeleteI think I must have looked as silly as you do! I remember what a pain it was trying not to trip up in those big trousers going to the toilet in the night.
I'm amazed you were allowed out of bed to go the toilet. I am forbidden to get out of bed without permission once I have been tucked in at seven thirty. If I should require to go tinkle I have to use the baby monitor to ask permission, you can guarantee that the next night I will be wearing nappies under my pyjamas.
DeleteI cannot believe that you are allowed to wear socks underneath your Jim jam trousers. And is that a top hiding under your jacket. You should be punishment for that
ReplyDeleteI plead not guilty. It's the tip of my slippers you can see not socks and I am not allowed to wear anything under my pyjamas, be it underwear or t/shirts/vests.
DeleteI agree,a heinous contravention of pyjamaring technique. His aunty will have to think of an appropriate punishment.
ReplyDeleteAm I correct that such pyjamas are from long times past?these are horrible. Do not allow your parents to make you wear them I would be very embarassed
ReplyDeleteWhether the pyjamas are old fashioned or horrible is irrelevant. You wear whatever pyjamas they decide without complaint Parents or guardians are the only ones who decide these things no matter how old you are. They decide your bedtime and your nightwear. Your embarrassment is irrelevant.
DeleteDear Mr John, I can see you are wearing suchlike horrible stripes pyjamas also like Mr wincey Do your parents dress you with these? This is punishment maybe?
ReplyDeleteI wear those pyjamas because I like them old fashioned with the draw string trousers. I was made wear my sisters pyjamas growing up which were handed down to me as they outgrew them It was not a punishment just practical I still wear those kind of pyjamas sometimes
DeleteWhat pyjamas do you wear?
I never had a choice of what pyjamas I was dressed in,from my Mummy or my ex wife,which were stripped ones,Thomas the tank engine,little ducks, if I complained I would be put over the knee for a dose of the slipper,or wooden spoon, and put to bed with a sore bottom,and that went for my bedtime as well 630 pm,even when I was married.
ReplyDeleteAnd it did not just stop at being dressed in childish pyjamas,during the day I would be dressed in school short trousers during the week,and little boy type play shorts at the weekend, but bed time was 630pm an no argument about it,ready for bed at 530pm and if my Wife had friends or visitors round I would be told to say nighty night to them
May I know where can I get the smae pyjamas as Michael wear.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would you want to wear pyjamas like Michael's?
DeleteSurely nobody chooses to wear clothing that is a throwback to the days of utility wear of the wartime years.
Only this type of pyjamas I am allow to wear on bedtime. Could you let me know which website I can get it?
DeleteYou're missing the point. I don't want or choose to wear such ridiculous pyjamas, I have to.
DeleteYour pyjamas seems to be many, many times too big. Why is this so? Can you purchase pyjamas that are correct for your frame ?
ReplyDeleteIn these situation the pyjamas are not chosen by the wearer but by the person or persons who enforce pyjama discipline.
DeleteSo you are saying some person has made you put on these big man pyjamas.you are now to receive discipline by caning maybe? This seems strange to me.perhaps you enjoy this discipline
DeletePerhaps you should remind yourself of the name of this blog.
DeleteWell said Wincy. Just reading the blog history should give this clown a clear picture. I suspect that he is secretly drawn to the idea of pyjama humiliation - A pyjamering from Mrs S.P would soon educate him.!
ReplyDeleteExactly Pyjamarama. I'm in no doubt that this person is yearning for a pyjamaring.
DeleteYes, I agree. The question will be whether he is a 'serving tea to the Ladies while dressed in big boys striped pyjamas or more of a 'tied into the highchair gagged with a dumdum while wearing oversized bunny PJ's'type of individual. Of course, I am sure that he will be reading this!
ReplyDeletePj Tradman
Hi, do you know where to get this type of pyjamas?
DeleteAs we expected 'anonymous', you do seem interested in the world of pyjama humiliation and harbour suppressed yearnings to be paraded in oversized striped pyjamas for the amusement of dominant women. You should know that Wincy does not 'get' his own pyjamas rather,he is forcibly dressed in the ones that are purchased for him no matter how much he objects. If you were to Don such ridiculous nightwear then you become a flanneled fool and that is that .
DeleteIf you were to share with us why you desire this type of pyjama then we may ask for permission to tell you.
Pj Tradman
I really like this type of pyjamas. I have few pairs of this pyjamas , I wear them every night and would like someone really can make me wear pyjamas everyday.
DeleteI agree he most certainly deserves all of the above.
ReplyDeleteHi Just wondering, I hope there is no problem with Wincey as this blog does not seem to have been updated in a while.
ReplyDeleteMy wife believes if I act like a little boy and most men do the be treated when as one, especially when naughty. I'm spanked, but recently my wife has decided to insure I learn to behave. A Saturday night I got carried away at my mother-in-law home, acted very foolish. Nothing said at the time. Sunday afternoon just finished doing yard work, and to my shock was told to put my pajamas on, my behavior the night before. At this time of day, she gave me a stern look, and not wanting a spanking I did as told. She was on the phone when I came into the kitchen in my pajamas, Yes Mother, you can, we will be home. She looked at me, good little boy you are doing as told. She pulled a kitchen chair out and sat down and told to stand before her. I'm sorry for last night I said, she smiled, and said you will be. From now on when you are a naughty little boy, you will put on your pajamas, no matter the time of day and no matter if we have company, understand, Yes I said, why not try Yes Mommy, and looking at her I said Yes Mommy. Now my naughty little boy, Mommy is going to spank you and she pulled down the bottoms of the pajamas and told to step out of them. Mommy, please I won't do it again. Over my lap NOW and I did as told. She started with her hand and was was pleading, squirming, and promising to be good. Then I heard my mother-in-law voice, wish for the hairbrush dear, Yes Mother, and my mother-in-law took a chair and position it to see my spanking, the hairbrush hurt and I was a mess. Stand up I was told, say your sorry to my Mother, and I did as told. My mother-in-law looked at me, in your jammies this time of day, must have been a very naughty little boy. I said I was. Well Mommy did a nice job giving you a spanking, Mommy did I said. Dear please let me have the hairbrush, this naughty little boy needs my attention. I was soon over her lap, I was crying, promising to be good. When she was done, put those pajamas on young man, I put the bottoms on, and then was told to face the wall. When my mother-in-law my wife told me to the bathroom, I was given a bath, and it was only seven and then put to bed.
