Was it hoarding or a collection of unfinished projects?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

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.
