Will drain the life out of you. That's all there is to it.

Now granted, there is stuff here that I like and want to keep...but there's lots that I've only kept around cause I attributed it as "zagatto's". Now that he's pulling his stuff from the house, I'm finding there's more and more I want to get rid of.

Papers, toys, games, movies, little pieces of things that I don't even remember what they belonged to.


My daughter has too many clothes and too many toys, and I find myself irritated when I try to sort through things with her and have her decide what to get rid of. She becomes instantly attached to things she hasn't touched in months...swearing it's her favourite and I can't get rid of it.

I wonder where she got that from....



If there's anyone who really LIKES thinning things and getting rid of stuff who has time to kill in the evenings...gimme a shout!!!

Slip the unused bits into a box and put the box on the shelf for a while... later, open it up and point out that it's been there for x months and no-one missed it...
Might work... or might just blow'd up :-)
Good luck!
Hugs!

LOL! I wrote my post before I read yours!

Perhaps we should practice what we preach

Indeed... What are you going to hide from me? :-)

I know it is a sneaky trick, but stuff she has not touched in months, should be quietly put away and after another few months of her not asking about it or for it, give it away. (yes, my Mother did this for me)

Alternatively, you could talk to her about children who are not as lucky as her and see what she would be willing to give to them from her stuff.

I wish I had time in the evenings, I would help.

For some weird reason, gracyelala LIKES to thin schtuff out, and she's really good at it. She got ticat1's stuff from half a basement to one blue Rubbermaid in something like 4 moves or less. If you sent her an email or somepin, I think you two might be able to work something out...
