[quote=Anonymous]Previous poster here that asked about her apartment being rented.  As you mentioned your DH’s period of unemployment and some more details, I would also add that you really think through why you buy and your relationship with material things.  I started my journey when I first heard Peter Walsh talking about his book “it’s all too much” on Oprah (https://www.oprah.com/home/its-all-too-much-by-peter-walsh/all).  I had to get a handle on the psychological reasons for my clutter to be willing to change my habits.  I started a journal where I was answering questions from the book that examined my childhood memories, my hopes, and where I took a critical look as to why for my actions.

There is something there with your frantic socializing and shopping for deals - it could be avoiding dealing with something, repeating what you saw from childhood, I don’t know.  As for having memories for the kids of the gingerbread party, being brutally honest, your under 2 won’t remember and my kids rarely ever want to look back at all the pictures.  You are likely doing it for you and but saying it’s for them, so you can avoid dealing with everything else.  But you have to keep your eyes on the prize and realize if you and your DH divorce over the clutter or constantly argue about it, no gingerbread party or hosting something every two weeks will make up for that.[/quote]
