[quote=Anonymous]OP - you are rude, but like PP above maybe you are clinging tightly to a sense of control, sanity and your patience.

Been there and have had to step aside from helping my helpless ILs. They’ve lived in the same house for 43 years and have a full unfinished basement that is quite literally packed to the rafters with a lifetime of…you name it. They have a two car garage that can only hold one car - one side has been taken over by a workbench, storage, tools, outdoor gear. FIL is the only driver and now owns 3 cars.

I’ve known my ILs for decades and they have joked about the state of their basement the entire time. They were going to do a massive clean out to ready the basement for a renovation in 1993. Asked DH to begin sorting through and take what he wanted (childhood mementos) around 1995. You see where this is going. It’s only worsened.

I will not involve myself in cleaning out their house, ever. I’m certain that this issue will come up when one or both die and or there’s a last minute panic to sell the house.
