[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of assumptions are bring made. A really messy room means different things to different people. I doubt the room was at hoarder-status. I'm hoping the op will come back with more details. [/quote]

I'm the OP. She IS a hoarder, absolutely. She wants to keep everything. She can LITERALLY pick up garbage off the sidewalk (my rule is she is not to pick up anything other than money) and when I say "drop it or throw it out" she will immediately become frenetic and say "But I need it - it's important to me, I was going to use it for an art project!" and go on and on getting higher and higher pitched, producing fake tears, etc. She really does not need a test from four months ago.

She's got tons of shelving and containers and boxes - too much of it, IMO. Unfortunately, I am not the SAH parent or one of the ones who gets her all this stuff. She has way too much - we are not saving things to do future projects or collages. She simply has way too much stuff. DH is a huge part of the problem. We've had many talks/fights about it.[/quote]

OP - get this kid to a therapist, ASAP.  [/quote]
