I am not the same person. Just another one who think's your selfish and gross. And you are not alone, there are many like you on here. I'm nowhere near elderly, either. So you can take your assumptions and stuff them.

You are now resorting/changing to your parents were not good people. THat is a separate issue. Your defensive betrays your guilt. It's evident.

As for what you will/won't do as you get older, I hope you do as you say. And that you are extended more grace, patience, and compassion then you are showing. [/quote]

You are the same person, you use the same language and grammar. I have nothing to have guilt about. I don't have guilt about my mom being a hoarder. That would be weird, no?! People who are unable to part with their material possessions over their lifetime are NOT good people and have never been. They are selfish and greedy, lack the ability to plan, have entitlement and expectations, often think of themselves instead of others, making them crappy parents. And they have been such people their entire lives, it didn't happen yesterday. These are the people we talk about here. Most of us have seen different type of elders and naturally, you are not going to be a different person in your elder years compared to who you've always been. My mom has never been able to part with her possessions, because possessions define who she is. I'm not that person, so I'll never end up in the same circumstances. And to make you feel better (if you're able to), I'm reducing the stuff we have around the house right at this moment, I don't expect nor want my kids to waste their time/money/effort on stuff that should have been taken care of long ago. I want to be remembered differently. [/quote]
