[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both parents and in laws are in the process of downsizing. We are thrilled. The flip side is both seem to have saved every piece of paper, toys, give away, broken furniture etc. from the last three decades. And they want us to take it... And won't take no (or donate/trash) for an answer. They keep showing up with more and more crap. We live in a small house and don't have room for it. We are overflowing as it is cause DH has a similar proclivity (why must one save 18 empty ice cream cartons? Why?!!!) Advice without hurting feelings? The obvious is to take and then dump, but if it enters our house DH feels obligated to keep it. Our house is full and I'm out of space to put things we actually use. Ideas? [/quote] Hold on: If your DH is saving 18 ice cream cartons and won't get rid of things...read up on hoarding.[/quote]
