[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you, OP.   My instinct is to be a bit like this (without the shopping.  I don't really like shopping).  But like a pp, I have a cleaning service come every other week, even though I'm a mostly SAHM (I work a few hrs a week).  I do it for my husband, because I'd rather pay a cleaning service than hear him complain about the state of the bathrooms.   I go nuts the day before they come because I'm forced to straighten up, but it does help keep order in the house.  That, and the fact we're military so we move every few years.   At that point, it's purge it or pack it, and I'd rather purge it.

Can you have a quiet talk sometime, with the message of "I love you, but I can't live like this"?  Then pay for an organizer to come help put stuff away?  Some people have a hard time developing "systems" for their things.  Having that can be helpful.  And don't put it as if you're doing her a favor (don't get her an organizing service as her christmas present!!).  Put it as if it's a favor to you.  Because it is.

I'm sorry, I know it's hard.  My sister is very much like this. It runs in our family.  She lives in the family home now, as my parents are deceased, and I hate going over there.  [/quote]
