[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best way to handle it is to visit their houses and clear out all your stuff. Why does a grown woman have stuff at her parents' houses anyway and why do you think it's on them to clear out your junk?[/quote]

When I moved out after college I threw away everything I had stored there. These are things they apparently were storing themselves. [/quote]

So this happened to me too- every time I went home I cleared out more boxes but they just kept appearing.  Like a box with ALL of my worksheets, math tests, etc. from second grade!  Then just when I thought everything was gone, when my daughter was born I received boxes of barrettes and Polly Flinders dresses, among other things.

Its truly amazing the amount of stuff my mom stashed in their unfinished basement.  When they "downsized" she inisisted on another place with a basement so she could bring it all with her.

Its motivated me to purge as we go.  My mom of course can't understand why I don't want to save my childrens' clothes and highchair for my future grandchildren, but whatever.[/quote]
