    The McCormacks actually physically stress me because they are an exact reenactment of my own family. I just barred my mother from throwing away a huge teddybear last year, safe to say I hadn't seen it in many years

    We've just put my grandma in a senior living center, and trying to clear out her house looks a lot like this. "We need to throw all of this away. But you can't throw that chair out; someone might want it again someday. You can't throw those papers out; no one's gone through them since 1968 and there might be something important in there. You can't throw that picture out; it hung for many years in the home of a distant relative who died before any of us were born."

      When my grandfather died, he had hundreds (maybe even thousands) of empty matchboxes in his possession. He also didn't believe in banks, so my mum and her siblings had to open each matchbox to make sure that there wasn't any money stuffed inside.
      That was all in vain, but in various other hiding places around the house they found $8000.

      This is why I believe in "Swedish Death Cleaning." It's just polite not to leave your loved ones burdened with clutter.
      Every year, especially the older you get, you whittle your belongings down to only purposeful things and things you KNOW someone will actually WANT after you're gone. Having less things helps you to be able to manage your own household easier as you age, too.

      My ex had underwear that had a hole in the middle and the entire clock and bells were hanging out, like a crotchless pants.
      He could not part with it, so I suggested to use the leftover fabric to craft a keychain with, but he refused and kept wearing it. It was 2 sizes too small at the least, so it also gave him F1-style poops, and the stains didn't come out in the washing anymore.
      I don't know, it was a sad (fore)sight every time the pants were worn.

She said that if I got into an accident and was sent to the hospital and they'll put me in a robe, they'd see my HOLEY underwear. I once passed out during a school exercise and while lying on the ground, barely conscious and hearing my classmates saying in voices that sounded so distant, "Let's loosen her belt so she could breathe," --- my first thought was..."Am I wearing a HOLEY underwear today?" 😂😂😅😅 You made me laugh at "crotchless pants" hahaha that sounds really SCARY!!! 😂 😂 😂

    Very representative of real life. The father is keeping old manuals for appliances the family no longer have. The granny is giving Darren a birdhouse when he clearly isn't interested. The mother is just dumping out things without asking others or listening to their words. The daughter is wineing over a teddy bear she never knew she had. And poor Darren doesn't want to get rid of anything anymore all because he has no control over what he can keep or get rid of. Good job with the sketch.

    I'm exact opposite, I throw too much away. I've had to dig important documents out of the bin in the past. It's gotten better now, but I do have one rule. If I haven't used it in a year, I'm not keeping it unless it's classic literature, designer clothing, or basic good quality cooking utensils. I will sometimes sell clothing, if it has bad memories attached to it. I can't stand clutter and I hate dusting. If you've got no knick-knacks, there's less to dust. Greeting cards, mourning cards and birth announcements get binned after a week. I do regret getting rid of all my cd's. I can't find the music on my laptop anymore.

I put them in a bag and straight in the big green garbage can without telling anyone (just cleaning the garbage out of my car as I switch).
