Why haven’t the parents taught their children to contribute to the household? It’s a parents job to not only love, protect and provide, but to raise your children to be capable and functional adults. To foster independence is healthy and necessary.
They didn't even discard and downsize their belongings. Vic could have sold some of his collectibles, and make a few thousand dollars. I can't imagine where his money is coming from, if he is buying things constantly.
The children are old enough to keep their own room and space clean 🙄 Also there’s nothing wrong with chores so just start delegating their own chores: clean their room, sorting their own laundry, help in the cleaning around the house.
Those children weren’t raised right. By doing everything for them, they encouraged bad behavior. I had 7 children and had an orderly home. Even a 3 year old can put silverware away!
I have two boys who are 4 (almost 5) and 2 (almost 3) they both help me clean my house. I have them help me clean because most of the messes are theirs anyway, and they will never learn if I don't teach them.
My niece just turned one and she loves walking around with a broom *attempting* to sweep, and cleaning her toys away and keeping herself busy because she's always watched my sister do it and loves to feel included! there's no excuses as to why an 8 year old shouldn't be able to clean
You’re just so perfect and humble aren’t you. Everyone is different! Leave her alone, she could have been depressed or time poor. Sure the kids could help more but don’t blame the mum. My boys some refuse, some help. All different!
Those children are way old enough to keep their rooms clean. This should have been taught when they were younger., A 15-year-old can definitely learn how to do laundry. The woman is ready for a breakdown.
I would have a hard boundary for the husband's collectibles. If it doesn't fit in that hallway cabinet, it has to be sold. And then later if he finds something he wants to buy, he has to sell something in the cabinet first.
The husband and kids are lazy expecting there Wife and Mom to do everything for them my children were washing their own clothes at 10 and 13 years old what a mess
It makes a very big difference in a child's early years learning basics about the home they live in. Children can be taught very early to clean up after themselves. Little chores at a time. We learned early and it sure didn't hurt us to know house care and cooking. We all did laundry and dishes and outside chores as well as our own bedrooms. Mom was a depressive and often couldn't function well.. My nickname was house mouse because I did the majority of the care. I don't mind Teaching children some sense of personal pride is a parents job too We were given allowance because we did help . Yes there is no excuse for this kind of slop living. None
I love Ms Kim. I remember watching her show many years ago. The hoarder needs to open his store, and sell the products. If he gets $1, at least there is open space. The parents' bad habits are passed down to the children. The opportunity to be the stars of a TV show united the family to clean the clutter. What happened a year later?
Collectibles are nice if there is a proper place to store them, I somehow collect old mis matching silverware 🤣 , while I was cleaning out ( more like Up) my storage unit I didn't realize how much I have hoarded 🤣🤣 maybe just someday maybe I'll get a matching set or two!!
The washing machine it's operating while open and plus it doesn't lock shut when the cycle starts, that's shocking. A small chip might open it and die or seriously getting injured, safety regulations in the USA are stock in the 1950's. God bless EU safety regulations 15:40

You made me get my life together thank you 😊
Loved the friend who came in to keep dad on track. ☺️ The family did a great job.
Cleanliness and order in my life make me happy

A parent's job is not to be a butler to their children but a teacher.
I love Kim! I have enjoyed her humor and cleaning tips for years.
I was just thinking of and missing Kim and Aggie - and here she is - there is no one like her!
People have too much stuff, get rid of it.
They didn't even discard and downsize their belongings. Vic could have sold some of his collectibles, and make a few thousand dollars. I can't imagine where his money is coming from, if he is buying things constantly.
Thanks for giving the family tasks and motivating them to help mom. I am constantly asking for help.
Where do u live? I'll come help (if you're nearby). I love organizing!

My thoughts exactly. Even as a small child I was taught to clean my toys and don't use living room as play area.
I have two boys who are 4 (almost 5) and 2 (almost 3) they both help me clean my house. I have them help me clean because most of the messes are theirs anyway, and they will never learn if I don't teach them.

Absolutely fantastic.

One day, she could walk out, and never return. Sad that they take her for granted.
ALL the stuff he 'collected' is pure junk ! The thing is if they had a house twice the size there would be twice the mess.
I need a Kim. Totally understand this woman’s frustration. Husband “collects” anything. But this storage units in hall were ugly and in the way.
Maybe a piece of furniture that would match their decor

You are so lucky to have her come to your home .

Dear Kim and mike, you are both so fun!!!!

This mom is a hero
Donate all the clothes, shoes that do not fit.
They did not thrown anything out, except expired foods. That's not house decluttering.
It cracks me up what some people think is a messy house 🙄😒
I love before and after, but I am always shocked by the adult behaviour.
I was helping with the laundry at age 10.

This family is typical of this "entitled" generation. They want everything done for them.
Poor mothering. Selfish husband
I feel your pain!
Great❣️🇧🇻🤗
The house is too small for a drum kit

Kim is amazing
Колко и майката да чисти като няма кои да пази ще е така.У нас в България в такива случаи се казва нямат баща на място.
I like kim she is rude while I watched her in big brother but she is also funny
👍👍👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗gostei 👍👍👍
Dumpster!!!!!!
Yes! Where was the dumpster? I didn't see anything being thrown away, or driven away to the Goodwill store.
how are those people still alive or have no sickness of all the messynes?!😑😒🦄✌🏼🐨😱🌹🧐💀😬😱😨🤔🤮😵💫🤢
👏👏👏
💗💗💓💓💓💞💞💞💕💕😘😘😘
Why dont the family help the mum
Because they are king, princess and prince. Mom is the servile queen.
I saw this yrs ago
I would not be surprised if it is in the same sorry state, at the current time. Mom probably ran away.
😤🤯😫❗😊🤗💐❗🇺🇦
