I will have no problem siccing the fire department or the superindentent on her door step to make sure stuff stays clean. The clothes thing - well she never said cancer, but there is stuff that is older than the hills. Ah - the fun and games of parents. I just hope I get a handle on my stuff before I have to down size. It's only quilting stuff that will cause problems. Thanks for your story - I love it!!!! By the way - get a cleaning lady - best investment ever!!!!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654762599199404214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-35086303231818517462015-12-04T09:20:31.670-05:002015-12-04T09:20:31.670-05:00Hey Marg - thanks for letting me know.

I have the same problem wi...I hear you, girlfriend. I have the same problem with my mom. There were some divorce worthy words spoken on my Father's part. He yelled at me for bringing more stuff to the apartment. He's legally blind so he couldn't help sort or unpack. I told mom I wasn't going back to the apartment until they were at dinner because I had another carload to take in and I didn't want to take any more crap from him. When I got there later that day I was met at the door by a family friend who quietly told me my mom had left because dad said something unforgivable and his wife was in trying to reason with my dad.<br /><br />Now mom's talking about having to move to a one bedroom apartment when dad dies or goes into a nursing home. I keep pointing out to her that she can't take ANYTHING but her clothes because there is no storage space in them. I know - I stay in one of them when I visit. She hasn't processed that limitation yet. They've been in the apartment 3 years and she still has boxes of stuff sitting around.<br /><br />I tried to get her to purge before they moved. She refused. For example, she wouldn't get rid of clothes that were too small because she might get cancer and lose weight.<br /><br />I just hope nothing happens to me before I get my own stuff under control. But, I'd much rather sew than clean house and there's no one here to make me do it.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687940102998242654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-71437274533999162812015-12-03T10:30:39.220-05:002015-12-03T10:30:39.220-05:00Welcome to Sask.
