[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, OP.

Your wife probably has ADHD too and has difficulty getting things organized (plus hoarding tendencies). We are an ADHD family and struggle with this. My DH is the worst, but since he works and I stay home, I do my best to tidy up and clean, and hope to goodness the kids will learn from my efforts.

I think you need an intervention by a professional home organizer - there are plenty in the area and I sometimes fantasize about hiring one! However, I know exactly what I need to do in my case - sort, throw out half the stuff, and buy appropriate furniture to store the remainder (bookshelves with baskets, and stuff like that). The problem is persuading DH to manage his stuff, and gathering my courage, and time, to sort through the rest.

If she is resistant to the professional, I would take her to couples therapy and say that this is your last condition before a separation, because you worry about the poor example she is showing to your children.

And I also agree that you could watch Hoarders with her and the girls.
