AHA.. I was already thinking to myself before i got to this last line. This person is also a hoarder, Ive sort of been hoping to hear from someone from the other side. Obviously you did not read this thread from begining to end or you just chose to pick out certain points that were in defense of this issue. So point taken Thank you
I consider my clutter to be an actual art form

Amazingly enough the kid is a straight A student
...but at least if your going pretreat and inspect each garment well at least have the washer ready with water in it and have it going gat a load of towells going while yopur pre treating . Things like that...
...So it takes her soooo long to finish anything she will spend 20 min scrubbing 1 thing without having started the washer...
So im sorry creativity has nothing to do with it
NO this isnt about me as you presume, Im relieved that this kid living in these conditions and constantly resenting her mother whom she loves at the same time has not rebeled as some do , When she cant feel secure that her mother will be on time to pick her up or get her to a life changing event or have clean clothes for school. Those are things a child should not have to worry about. I have no expectations here Once again you are wrong,
so - the kid does live up to your expectations then? Nice.
Somehow im thinking you have no children ??

Hope you got the link, so maybe you can understand the severity of this and the potential to get worse.

As i said i was hoping on something from an opposing point of view, but , The problem is that you do not have the right perspective on my take of things, And your right no home is perfect. You know she says i do things to fast and she is right in alot of things haste makes waste so they say, she will tell me and i take heed , but if give her the same type advice its like she cant chsnge her thinking she will say i know , i know , and im sure she means it. BUT no change. no change , no results....
I don't agree with your take on things

That was pretty good ( havent organized yet ) too funny, I needed a laugh. You know what i meant when i said opposing, SO you admit your a hoearder ? Yea i guess i can live with myself when shes found emaciated and or dead under a pile of cat poop and newspapers, If the place dont burn down or they condemn it first.
you can always ask for advice - my advice (which is not what you want to hear) is to leave it

I'm glad you are seeing through the contentions that you are over-reacting to your friend's 'mere' 'idiosyncracies.' I wonder how such proponents of such views would feel to find their mother, grandmother or spouse at home dead under a pile of such junk.
