[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom has an anxiety disorder...I guarantee it[/quote]

I'm guessing OP does too - and I speak from experience.  My family dynamic sounds quite similar.[/quote]

OP here. Nah, I wouldn't say I'm anxious at all. The hotel stuff is easy. I've been providing them hotel recs in my area for years and they still can't choose a hotel. Yeah, that's how they are. Maybe it's an attention thing.

[b]Any anxiety I do have only rears its ugly head when I visit my parents and see the piles of paper and boxes of crap and old furniture going back 30 years in the basement (they've been talking about cleaning out forever) that unfortunately, will indeed become my problem if they don't make a decision, clean house and move because I and my siblings will be the only people around to help filter through all the stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, albeit harsh at times. Points taken. [/quote]

I have this anxiety as well with respect to my inlaws.  My husband would really like them to sell their now-too-big house and move into something that's easier for them to take care of, and I just think it's never going to happen and we're going to get stuck dealing with all their junk.  But there's no point in worrying about it until it happens, and there's nothing I can do in the meantime.  [/quote]
