[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to make old people declutter. Maybe easier to just haul all the junk eventually [/quote]

It will take months because there is some valuable stuff socked away. I am so good about selling or giving away things we no longer need meanwhile his parents have old toys in the attic and I don’t know what they’re saving it for because they refused to let us bring them down for our children to play with when they were younger. It’s so bizarre. Why wouldn’t you let your son bring down his childhood legos? Or let the kids read my sister in law’s old Nancy Drew books?[/quote]

I went thru this with my hoarder mother and inept father who just kept sitting in all that junk until I was able to come for 6 weeks and get it done. I think maybe I should’ve just dumped it all. There was some cash recovered but nearly not enough to compensate for my time or effort or health (I developed some kind of sinus allergy as I was too careless about masking). [/quote]
