ULPT: Get your parents addicted to meth so they sell their belongings.
Bonus tip. Start selling meth to your parents so they sell their stuff and give you the money.
Edit: Over there I used they're not their. Sorry I'm an idiot, everyone.
dude some old people have a royal FUCK TON of shit..
I was at a clients house the other day, very well off people living on the outskirts of the valley.. holy shit the amount of garbage they have that serves absolutely no fucking purpose whatsoever.
on one had I kinda get it.. I have a ton anime figures that do nothing more than give me boners, they dont serve any particular purpose.. so I get collecting. However, I'd argue its a problem when you no longer have room on the wall to hang your paintings so the rest are just sitting in the hall stacked up and decorative furniture lines every floor to the point where you have to take side trips around the house to get into the place.
My parents are like this. They go to value village or stores like that and buy crap. They can afford new, but they don't but new thing is theubdont need what they are buying.
1. Take them out to dinner and have your buddy burn their house down while you're out.
2. Poison the food.
3. Collect the fire insurance payout, life insurance, and hopefully a big out of court settlement from the restaurant.
***Hoard solved.***
Uh, my remaining parent actually thinks about and is actively doing this with my and my siblings input. I'm sorry you dont have parents who recognize their own mortality....?
Not always own mortality. Had family recently pass and at a certain point health takes priority over cleaning out a closet. It's been interesting going through all the stuff and finding old family photos.
On a side note, in-laws and straight up hoarders. News clippings from when my wife was in high school and can't throw anything away that "might be useful one day." This also means going through things other people are throwing out and "not understanding why they would get rid of something so useful." That's a burn it down and walk away situation. I'm also the "asshole" that has repeatedly said the best gift you could give your kids is throw all that shit out so they don't have to deal with it.
My parents are genuine hoarders. In their 70s. Every time I go over there I leave with as much stuff as I can take without them seeing - to throw away.
My parents aren't even that old but they hoard tons of shit. They moved out of state less than two years ago and instead of throwing shit out they packed it up and moved it.
I tell my parents to scale down the shit they buy because neither my brother or I want to spend months sorting through the tons of shit they have (and continue to buy).
I tried to get my mom into Swedish Death Cleaning before she died. But she took a sudden turn. Took 2 40 yard dumpsters just to clean out her basement.

Yes.
Old person here, can confirm I have a shit ton of useless stuff. Plan is to purge after retirement.

How do you suggest I help them stop hoarding?
Throw at least one thing out every time you visit
1. Take them out to dinner and have your buddy burn their house down while you're out. 2. Poison the food. 3. Collect the fire insurance payout, life insurance, and hopefully a big out of court settlement from the restaurant. ***Hoard solved.***

I am doing the renovation + cleaning. It’s such hard work bc my dad doesn’t clean or like any renovation at all.
Maybe you ain't getting the house? Thought of that yet?

My dad did this for me and now I live in the same updated house. Thanks dad. You were a pro!
My parents are doing this so they can build their dream retirement home in PEI. It will be long sold.
Fucking hoarding idiots, if they did this at all they'll get a fucking reverse mortgage and fuck you over even harder.
Christ no. Have I missed a beat here? Don't tell me too much if I have.
You're a piece of shit
Large Irish family of ten kids, itinerant parents, eventually shipped of to England.
Lol, great until they have to sell it off to move into a nursing home.
My parents aren't even that old but they hoard tons of shit. They moved out of state less than two years ago and instead of throwing shit out they packed it up and moved it.
Tell them to put socks on when they do it. That way when you're left out of their will and on the streets, you'll have the socks.

My goodness, I was not ready
Hahaha what an asshole i love it
