[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been obsessive watcher of all kinds of decluttering and home organizing shows.  I had heard of KonMari but did not think it would be something that I would want to do. but, HOLY MOLY - loved the show and also konmaried my son's and DH's closet and dressers yesterday.  So inspired.

I feel with all the transformation shows, the focus is on less belongings and I always feel that it makes people sad in the process. However Marie does a few things that is very respectful to the house and the occupants.  First, she greets the house. This is the key. However junky the house is, it is still the participants home. Second, she asks people to "thank" the things they give away. Psychologically it means that it is not wasteful to give away things for others to enjoy. And third, she asks people to keep what sparks their joy. It gives the control to people because they can choose to keep something that does not have any use except to give joy.  In the end, your house becomes more joyful because you are only keeping your loved and favorite possessions.

The homes also were very typical of most homes. It had lots of spaces that were clean and not cluttered, and then there was the spaces where most people stash things - closets, drawers, dressers,  bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, pantry, garage etc.

I feel the people who went through this process with her, in the end will always know how to declutter and organize because it was a mind-shift. I am glad that the show was not aiming to show people drama in this show because I hate that. I actually loved the Friend family and found the wife and kids adorable, but then I am not a White woman and feel no need to tear apart every good looking skinny White woman :wink: . [/quote]

HAHA! +1
some people are hard AF on one another. Jesus.
 
The husband knows he's an ass but that does't excuse his poo-pooing of her having to do laundry. he even says, that he knows he's not giving the best of himself to the home or the family. i would expect many middle aged salespeople feel like this at some point or another. I loved her on the People's Couch and maybe this is their banter/dynamic but damn the road to divorce. i don't know. i didn't quite glean that from this hour interaction. and the trashy comments really threw me for a loop. he's tired and so is she.

i am not fan of the pinterest decorations but to each it's own. that's what they like. i was expecting a way more positive thread. me and my kid went thru toys and i'm anticipating starting clothes this weekend![/quote]

I posted way earlier about not liking the mom and really questioning why this episode would be included at all let alone why it would be made first! The mom wasn’t mean at all. She seemed nice. The husband did seem to have a lot of anger. He didn’t show it outright. But he was definitely frustrated. And she just comes off as “I’m just useless. &lt;giggle&gt; &lt;giggle&gt;”. Like, it’s not cute. I would find it extremely frustrating in a partner.

I also thought it was funny to find out she’s a self employed relationship expert.

But, back to the actual episode. The wife was annoying. Now that I know this isn’t her first time on TV, I wonder if that was why she cane across the way she did to me. She kind of acted like a reality persona a little.

I hated her decorating for the most part. Looked like a TJ max home goods store. But the kids were cute, and I think the parents’ issues are ones shared by a lot of us to different extents. [/quote]
