[quote=Anonymous]I struggle so much with the The Stuff. I've found it has gotten a little better as my kids have gotten older (like 3+) - clothes get ruined vs. being reusable, they move from mega-blocks/duplos to legos, they're doing 100+ piece puzzles instead of 24, etc. But it's still a challenge. I do find I do better if I have good destinations for stuff (bonus if I can make some money). For example, a multiples club consignment sale, a neighborhood listserv where I can sell stuff for a bit here and there. Or a donation/giveaway destination where I know it will be put to good use - for example, a group that gives to kids in my community, my Buy Nothing group, sibling/friends kid, a family who fits well with us for hand me downs. And I try to make regular rotations to the clothing recycling bin (for rag/recycles stuff and shoes) and keep a donation box going to get rid of every few weeks. But it's still a daily battle against the stuff. And we're losing.[/quote]
