[quote=Anonymous]Yes but there's little I can do. DH's parents are both now deceased and we ended up bringing in an auction house to clear out almost everything since his mother had not downsized at all even though his father had died a decade earlier. Seriously, the damp basement had mildewed board games and old golf balls sitting in buckets that had been there forever yet she refused to throw them away. My parents actively refuse to get rid of anything. They downsized homes but didn't get rid of stuff, instead it's all still in moving boxes sitting in the basement of their smaller home. My siblings and I know it's going to be a huge hassle when that time comes that we have to clean it out. My father thinks of everything as a memento. "Remember coloring in this 30yr old coloring book with your grandma?" I will be ruthless and get rid of tons of stuff day one but still dread the time I know it will take because they won't do the easy clean out now. [/quote]
