[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP side -eyer with hoarder ILs. My FIL just bought another used car, upping their total to 4. Absolutely ridiculous- he’s 79 and the sole driver now as MIL has dementia.

No one can tell him a contrary opinion-no advice needed, thanks. So now when we visit we have to park on the street and walk as they fill up their driveway and also park on the street. [/quote]

Excuse me but my ILs have 8 vehicles post 1960, only one of which is operable. And then there are another (about) 5 pre-war vehicles.
These are just a few of the stuff sitting in their garages. Yes, plural, garageS. [/quote]

This PP and hope you are prepared to find buyers/sell/scrap all of these!

And to the PPs who claim it’s truly a joy to deal with cleaning out your ILs/beloved deceased relatives’ homes: good for you! But try doing this under duress and/or the heavy cloud of grief/your relatives’ grief/cognitive decline/frailties and I’ll thrown in a hard deadline like selling a home/moving combined with your own limited time and patience and…I’d still describe this as grueling.

It was far different for me to pack up my beloved grandparents’ lifelong home just after they died (as a newlywed, no kids, 30) than 25 years later doing same at my childhood home. Worse. Grueling. [/quote]
