Is it typical for a 7-year-old boy to not recognize his own clothing? To take a brand new shirt from his drawer in the morning and wear it for an entire day and have no clue that he's never seen it before? Or is he unusually spaced out?

Why would a 7 year old boy care that its a new shirt?

What she said. Especially if he has brothers.

In our house, it's routine for boys to wear each other's clothes. Get up, grab a shirt, go. Yours, not yours, what's the diff?

What's really bad is when the dss away in yeshiva go back and take half the clothes belonging to whoever is still here.

Yep. My 7 yo DS has been known to put on his brother's pants (several inches too short) and be completely oblivious. Shirts, also. He's even worn his sister's shirts and the only thing he said was that it was hard to button. LOL

Not expecting him to care, just to notice. I had thought it a little bit odd for him to not be aware of it at all. From the answers here, I guess it is normal.

I don't think a toddler brother would count. They could hardly wear each other's clothes.

That's funny, because I sometimes have to ask my kids whose shirt or pants are whose.
