| Which member(s) of your household support or contribute to your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My husband keeps the home office and his workshop organized.”) | My husband is a neat, tidy person and does his share of house work. This makes it easier to keep things organized. I wish my children had married people who believed in doing a share of the work that it takes to run a household. Unfortunately, they didn’t. |
| If you were to wish for one change of behavior from someone—or everyone—in your household with respect to clutter, what change would you wish for? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | I wish my children’s spouses would learn to do their share of cleaning and organizing, because my grandchildren can’t learn what isn’t being shown to them. I also wish my children’ spouses would learn that “things” don’t make children happy, and that time spent with children is better than “stuff “. |
| Describe an item about which you have a strong disagreement with someone else in your household over whether or not it deserves a place in your home. (For example, “My mother’s 30 years of TV Guide magazines.”) | Oh my, where do I start? The things in the basement that haven’t been used for 23+ years but are kept in case they’re needed “someday”. (23 years is when the last child left home, so I know these things haven’t been used since before then.) For example, the many ubiquitous jars/cans/boxes of mixed screws, nuts, bolts, unknown parts, etc. A huge oak bureau in our bedroom which is always empty because the drawers are too deep and awkward to use. He puts the things from his pockets on top of it every night and we haven’t found a solution yet. We also disagree on whether the only spatula in the house ( which I use but he doesn’t) is useful, The compromise is to put it in the furthest space in the kitchen, so I have to retrieve it every single time I use it or if he realizes he needs it and can’t find it. |
