Personal Collections & Valuables

Any I have learned that I secretly throw boxes of stuff away when I have no where to sit. I say nothing and toss it. I decided I won't complain but I'd like to have a place to sit and sleep so me and the kid carve out spaces for us in the stuff. It's getting worse with age. My DH reminded me when we met he had his own bedroom to borrow in the house that had a bed. That is LONG gone and no way do we have a bed to sleep on or a room to borow. Each room is full of stuff.

All of this is just like my MIL. After putting up with it during a couple visits after we got married, I started flatly refusing to stay with them, and when possible, I avoid even walking into their house. The clutter & disorder are too overwhelming for me, and all I want to do is start tossing everything in sight into the trash (even the idea of which literally puts MIL into an anxiety tailspin). "But I'm not a hoarder, I'm saving money & saving this stuff for your heritage!"

Exactly how I feel about this kind of thing.
Every time I go to a family members home that is like this I have the urge to start cleaning stuff up and throwing things in the trash bin

Okay maybe disneysteve could sell it but most of us would toss stuff and be okay..

This hit the nail on the head.
