[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a hoarder mom and I HATE clutter, it gives me ptsd.
I would arrange for a special room or barn or whatever where she keeps all her crap. 
When my child was younger the clutter stressed me out so much. I would literally throw his toys out of the kitchen back to the living room or made him take them to his room. 
It is maddening [/quote]

Get medication and therapy. At least op's thread is good for something. [/quote]

OP here again. My mom was a hoarder too and it was one of the reasons I decided to cut contact. I can’t deal with the roaches and the piles of musty mildew stuff in my childhood home. My wife is not a hoarder but she’s getting there with all the stuff she’s piling up in her ‘craft room’. She spends time sitting and gluing with glitter and goodness knows what to gift to people, to put up on our walls, and I have told her her crafting is pretty pointless and doesn’t value add to anything. And yet is costing us at least $600 a month. That could pay for some personal training sessions at my gym but no, she rather sits at home cutting colorful paper and getting glitter over the carpet. I’m at my wits end. [/quote]

OP, be careful what you wish for. If she spent her time and money working out, maybe she’d lose a bunch of weight, get super hot, and leave your ass for a younger, hotter, richer dude who ALSO LIKES CRAFTING. Then they would spend all their time in his mansion coating their hot, super-ripped bods in glitter and having insane, acrobatic monkey sex on camera for a community of erotic crafters and making major ducats while you sit alone in your empty, craft-free house.[/quote]

You, PP, are just the best.   :lol:  love it[/quote]

I haven’t come across a guy who enjoys crafting. [/quote]

They exist - probably more common in some other cultures, though. I know of men who weave carpets and do slip-covers and remake furniture. I know of men (straight men) who like to decorate. I had a male straight relative who was a florist. I also know a lot of men who like woodworking or photography. I know a few who have done pottery. [/quote]

You are dense aren’t you? Carpet weaving and photography are very different from making stupid crafts with glitter and paper.[/quote]
