Do your parents also tend to keep things and rarely throw them away?

[Julie4]

My father tends to keep things even if they are stored away, but he finds it hard to throw them away because you never know "they might be useful" one day.

Are your parents the same way or at least some of the people around you?

[RavVid]

My father trained me to keep things in case they might be useful. But he had a farm and a lot of sheds. It didn't so well in an apartment. With my first apt I had to hire a dump truck to get rid of the might be useful stuff I had accumulated when I moved out.

I have been more minimalist since.

Npo, my mother threw everything away. I had a pretty extensive comic book collection. When I went away to college she threw them all away. Everything I had from college was stored in her attic. She paid somebody to clean it all out. All the stuff I had was tossed out.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Not my parents, but my Oma and Opa were like that. Even so far as to find German seasonings from the 70s in a drawer. Also add brown sugar so hard you can possibly throw it at a car and break the windshield lol.

My grandmother was like this - she saved everything under the sun. 😳

I'm a diagnosed hoarder. It's a form of OCD, which tends to be genetic. My dad and his dad both did. My mum's mum was the other end of the spectrum

My mom doesn't, but my dad is exactly like your dad

[Julie4]

It drives me crazy 🤣

[KostasKouvalis]

I think it's kind of funny, but it drives my mom crazy! I'm kind of starting to pick up after him😂

This is not true of my family or friends, but very true of several of my patients.

[Julie4]

What do you work in?

[msc545]

Clinical Neuropsychologist

[Julie4]

Oh wow, are you a doctor?

[msc545]

Yes...

[Julie4]

Oh right, you are a very intelligent person then. A lot of respect for you and your fellow doctors.

[msc545]

Thank you! I really just know a few things... no big deal.
