[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't want to seem like a douche, but honestly! Last time one of them got sick, I had to declutter the guest room so relatives could come and take turns with me caring for them. I try to help them a little at a time, but today I tried to get my mom to pick 5 books to put in the donations pile and she just got angry. They have 1000s of books and I don't want to have to spend weeks sifting through dusty junk because they refuse to clean up now.[/quote]

I'm 00:59. After my mom died, the books were the first thing I tackled- she had a ton. I had the book dealer come and buy what he wanted, then the local used bookstore did the same, then it took me six weeks to sort through/ box up all the remaining books and donate them to the library. And I still found books hidden away in random drawers and closets, for at least a year.

Sorry, but you're going to be stuck with it. They probably feel the same as my mother did- they want to be doing other things in their elderly years. I don't blame them, or my mom. [/quote]
