We won't even get into the office supplies and cleaning supplies!!! We have enough to set up 4 households to clean for a year. Can you tell I'm having to sort through my mom's stuff? UGH. 6 BINS full of blankets (because the grandkids need them when they come, oh, did I mention she ALSO has 10 sleeping bags for the grandkids when they come too). I swear.) Sheets, 4 sets of sheets for the master bed (1 regular, 2 back up and 1 flannel), and 3 sets of sheets for the others. in 15 years, the washing machine has leaked twice, and we've never had a toilet overflow. My mom, otoh, has: 8 towels for dad and herself, 4 towels for my youngest brother, and about (I kid you not) 12 extra towels (just in case) AND every holy, thread-bare towel they have owned in the past 40 years (because they are great to have on hand when the toilet overflows. We have 2 sets of sheets for everyone's bed. I have about a 1/2 dozen baby bath towels. The children each have one towel a piece. Pack-rat, much?Ĩ wash cloths and a bunch of kiddie ones. I started to throw it out, and she said "Don't! I love that bathing suit!" Not like she could wear a brown tafetta like suit with a beige ruffle that's 40 years old or anything. Last time I visited, I found a bathing suit in her closet that I remember from when I was my kids' age-around 1974 or so. She has four walk-in closets full of clothes-one in each bedroom of her four bedroom house. I think my views are skewed because of my mom-there are just two of them in her home (mom and step-dad) and they probably have 100 towels. It's an enormous relief to be getting rid of so much-I've taken load after load to give away at Goodwill! I moved a huge amount of dirty laundry and unsorted old clothes that are now almost done. I really need to sort out the sheets, but we're still not totally unpacked here, you know. thank you all so much! It sounds like my collection of 40+ towels was indeed excessive! I'll do another cull soon, but it is wonderful that they all fit in our big linen closet without squeezing them in.
