Oh yeah, my mom raised me alone and she has pretty bad ADHD and she's a bit of a hoarder, so yeah, I grew up in a pretty dirty home.
Was it hoarding or a collection of unfinished projects?
Yeah hording behavior is not just having a bunch of shit, it's also a deep unwillingness to throw any of it away.
Oh it was hoarding, especially mail and shipping boxes. I appreciate you going to bat for my mom though.
I was mostly thinking about myself and how my kids might see me. I always have 5-10 projects of various states of completion around the house, but I mostly try to keep them tucked away if I'm not actively working on them.
