+1. You sound whiny that you have to deal with your own belongings. As I got older I shed things, and what was left became my job to curate once my parents were getting ready to downsize. It never occurred to me that it was my mom's job. (!)

Yup. My sibs lived out of town when my parents downsized. I was stcuk with handling all their stuff. What's more, they were demanding about all the things they did and did not want.

Nope, you chose to do that.
