[quote=Anonymous]It's not the storage, it's the amount of stuff. She doesn't need 15 sweatshirts. She needs four or five, and then the other 12 can be stored elsewhere, maybe. The stuff is overwhelming her. It sounds like you are willing to help, and she is willing to take your help sometimes. Can you do it more frequently? Could you say that Sundays and Thursdays are room cleaning, and you do it together? I still help my similar son clean his room, and he is 15. I think of it as scaffolding his skills - when he was 8 or 10 he melted down at the very notion of confronting a mess. He just couldn't. Now he can, but he does better if he has company. When your floor is covered with clothes you don't notice when more clothes are added. You have to keep the floors clear in order to notice when they AREN'T clear. She probably needs your help (not your ideas, guidance, nagging, suggestions, but your quiet, physical help) to get into a better routine.[/quote]
