[quote=Anonymous]This is terrible, I feel for you. We kept the cuter outfits and were delighted when #2 turned out to also be a girl. Now we keep the nicer items #2 has outgrown to pass on to a friend with a baby daughter. BUT...
I live with a DH who is not quite a hoarder but is loath to throw anything away. Our basement is cluttered with old baby toys, tools, nails, half-filled bags of grout, wood scraps, antique broken things like lamps...everything is worth a bit of money but it's disgusting to live with. Your story reminded me NOT to implement my secret plan, which is to sort, toss and donate everything one day when he is not home, so we can remodel the basement. He would not be able to say yes to throwing anything out, but he will be hurt to not be asked. Which means it will never get done. 
We have also had old housemates who expected us to safeguard paintings, Christmas ornaments, boxes of who-knows-what until they were ready to take them, when we really did not want to. Don't store things you really care about at someone else's house. [/quote]
