AS PARENTS, we all take our own approach to keeping up with the washing, bedtime routines and keeping them entertained.
But one family has caused a massive divide on the internet after revealing how often they wash their kids' pyjamas.
After the dad revealed he thinks they shouldn't be washed every single night parents came out in droves to reveal just how often they wash them.
The dad wrote: "I've a toddler and an 8-year-old and my wife insists they wear clean pyjamas every night, whereas I think it should be less frequent.
He went on to ask other parents what they thought was an appropriate amount of times for kids to wear the same pjs.
"How long do your children wear their pyjamas? This doesn't include summer months," he asked on Reddit.

The parenting debate soon began and it seemed everyone had their own way of dealing with it.
"I have a seven-year-old and three-year-old. They each have two sets of pyjamas and wear them on alternate nights, each gets washed once a week," one parent replied.
Another parent wrote: "Simple. Eat dinner, Bath/Shower, Into PJs, Bedtime story, Bed. Generally Pjs are washed every third day and sheets on Fridays."
A third agreed: "Fresh jammies every night because a nightly bath is part of our routine."

Others seemed to have taken a much more relaxed approach.
"For as long as they're clean? My kids are two & three, so anywhere from five minutes to a week," replied one
Someone else claimed: "My son is five – as long as he doesn’t spill all his breakfast down then he's good in one set for four days."
A sixth revealed: "I have a toddler and an eight-year-old. Toddler normally lasts two nights in the same PJ's unless she's leaked or got breakfast down them.
"My eight-year-old mainly sleeps just in his boxers so can get four to five nights from his pjs as he's not as messy with breakfast and doesn't actually sleep in them so there more for chilling in."
Some, however, seemed dumbstruck that it was even a question.
"What? You don't wash them every day?" added another.
