Were you ever able to get them to clean up/get rid of stuff?
Are YOU a packrat?
I'm trying to get my mom to clean up her house, since I had to move back in with her and there wasn't any room in the damn place before me and my stuff showed up, and I'm having no luck.
I have a few packrat tendencies (I collect things, but I do periodically go through things and weed out what I don't want/need), but living in this house is making me want to throw away everything I don't use daily and be done with it.
