I can have tossed/recycled something when she was away from home and she will find it and give me grief over it. "But Mommy, this is my ______" insert whatever to make me feel guilty here. Sheesh.<br /><br />B has some issues with it as well, but nothing like the Bit. :shakes head:Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181941897289258428.post-31514376972952780042010-06-16T07:08:49.110-04:002010-06-16T07:08:49.110-04:00Older Boy: Trash Can Diver (and Little Man to a l...Older Boy: Trash Can Diver (and Little Man to a lesser extent)<br />Any paper or piece of "art" that goes in he freaks. "It's part of my comic book", "But I made that at school", "____ gave me that", "Don't you want to keep that?", "I made that for you".... If I kept everything he wanted our house would be collapsing under paper and junk right now. I opened his desk drawer in search of safety scissors and I found where he hides things he doesn't want me to throw out. I quickly just closed the drawer and vowed to get in there the next time he's not home (oy, what a mess!). <br />I used to hang all the lovely drawings up on a metal strip that we hung on the basement wall. I attached them with magnets. But now that the basement is finished the strip has been taken down never to return. I do the middle of the garbage can or take it directly to the large can in the garage.<br />The husband isn't much better. He's a pack rat. He keeps things that must have some special meaning that I"m unaware of. We've moved weights to and from 3 houses and the only time he's touched them is to move them. I've gotten rid of all of my stuff, sentimental or otherwise, to make room for his "stuff" (fraternity paddles, T-shirts with beer sayings, college text books, piggy banks, boxes of old magazines etc....)ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com
