Don't do this to your children
To tell you the truth it's not really that bad. Bags of old clothes can be donated so can everything else.
I would be totally embarrassed to show you pictures of my mothers house. She has paths thru the house with stuff stacked on both sides waist high. Her kitchen table has junk mail stacked a foot high completely covering it and 40 plus old medication bottles that are over 20 years old on the kitchen countertop.
I have tried to help her clean up her house but she's having nothing to do with that. I'm the only child now that my sister passed away and I really don't know what to do. It's a train wreck coming at me in slow motion and there's not a dam think I can do about it.
