Survey #174 Response from Cathie
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| 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.”) | Hubby takes out trash, & sorts his dirty clothes & towels into correct hampers. |
| Which member(s) of your household frustrate, foil, interrupt, or otherwise complicate your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | Hubby is 73 & in poor health. He can't let go of any old trinkets or memento, tools he never uses anymore, or even worn out clothes & shoes. I refuse to mend anymore, so at least the clothes do eventually go away. |
| 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.”) | Can't make this wish. Elderly sick hubby's pain & sadness trump any hopes for changes to amounts of "stuff". I keep getting rid of mine, & then his doesn't look like such big amounts. |
| 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.”) | Hubby's school year books that he NEVER looks at. Tools that are no longer used, EVER. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | n/a |
