[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I should clarify the mom and I became teary when we shared what we went through to have our kids who were playing. It was an emotional exchange about that.

It definitely doesn't "spark joy," PP, so thanks for putting it in that context. It's hard for me to take the step to walk away, especially due to my efforts for a long time to try in the face of a lot of things I had no control over. It's probably one of those things where I just have to make a decision to do it even knowing it's inevitably emotionally hard.[/quote]

Just start with the stuff that's bulky but not sentimental: potty seat, swing, high chair. If you had another baby miraculously, all of that stuff would be easily replaceable. It's just stuff. Then you can move on to the clothes and more sentimental things later. Or you can make a few passes through things--clothes that were stained or not favorites can go out in the first wave. You will NOT miss those things at all. Then stop and do some more another time.

I know you said time isn't helping. Let me tell you, time DOES help. My son is 9 and I just found a potty seat in our closet and I was like, WTF what kind of crazy hoarders are we that this $hit is still hiding out in here? LOL. [/quote]
