For as long as I can remember being a child growing up, my mom and dad NEVER throw away mail! When I was a child, they would have mail scattered all over on the dinner table in the kitchen, and bags full of mail that’s months and years old. Well I’m in my early 20’s now and I didn’t come to the conclusion until a few years ago that my parents are really hoarding!! They don’t even open most of their mail and even when they do open it, they still leave it lingering around the house..
Even when me and my siblings outgrow a bike, a toy, even my clothes, my dad would save it instead of selling it like he says he will. I gave him multiple bags of old stuff I don’t wear and he says he will give it away to someone at work but then it sits in the garage for months! I’ll try to throw the clothes out and he doesn’t want to get rid of it. He also does this with my siblings stuff too. My parents have so many clothes that they literally always have to do laundry every single week. My mom does laundry and the The laundry she does, she just dumps it on the floor or scattered around the house. 80% of what she washes, she never even wears. She just washes laundry just for the sake of doing it.
Even when something is that can’t be repaired, for example I had this selfie ring light I was using but it overheated and then I dropped it so it just never came on. I was for sure I accidentally broken it. I threw it away and he dug it out of the trash, got mad at me for throwing it away, then put it in the garage along with the other stuff he keeps…He just thinks everything is “fixable” and it’s honestly kind of annoying that he wants to save EVERYTHING. For the longest my parents wouldn’t give me or my siblings our important documents (birth certificate, social security, my dad even saved my old Id that is invalid) I just don’t get what’s so enthusiastic about keeping things that serve no value and is literally junk?
