>I'm a stay-at-home dad. I very often wake up thinking about how to approach my son's disability, and I'm glad that I don't have to deal with interruptions to my thought process for something as pointless as "which shirt should I wear today".

Sorry, but "stay at home dads" don't get to be interrupted by clothing choices anyway. It's not like the public is gonna see what you are wearing. Why even wear a shirt? Pyjamas would be equally OK. So you're not the kind of person I wrote my comment for (the same way the advice of wearing the same shirt every day would be totally worthless for a fashion model).

That said, all health to you and your son, man.



"stay at home dad" doesn't mean I'm in a cave all day. I go to the grocery store, the park, my yard, the neighbor's house, my son's therapist, and so on. I can't just walk around in boxers and slippers. I do have to dress at least somewhat sanely.

But even if I wasn't a stay-at-home dad, the same argument holds: some people are thinking about important things in the morning. Maybe you're not; maybe you walk around like a zombie until your second cup of coffee. But some people focus in the morning, and for those people, "automate unimportant decisions" is one strategy to let them stay focused on whatever important thing it is they're thinking about.

(I wasn't always a stay-at-home dad.)

Still, not the typical subject of the original post.
