Good evening n'landers.

so my question, Do old people find it difficult to throw things away

I got my old folks a 3bedroom apartment and to my greatest surprise, I told my mum that she won't be needing most of her stuffs again. She didn't really say anything but I knew it was gonna be war. I decided to assist the boys I hired to pack their stuffs. lol and behold I came across my baby bed, my potty and even the baby basin I used when I was a baby, like that was it...I came across all the footwears I had and that was how my mom started telling me how much she bought each. I pleaded with her to throw most o them away or even give it out, she said she will...
My brothers and sisters, only for me to go and check them out last week at their new apartment, I found out that one of the rooms was already filled with stuffs, the other room was filled with her clothes(meeting attires). I asked ma dad why most of the stuffs haven't been thrown away, he said "ask your mother"...

I don't even know how am gonna help arrange the house.

My brother na so we see am o! My papa no gree throw him old things

She is attached to them. Some also believe things from way back were quality _ don't worry, she would give it to your wife.

They are actually useful : my MIL gave me the wooden cot my husband used, go checkout prices of wooden cot on Konga (The cot saved us about N40,000). My mum brought our baby clothes/socks, she even brought pictures where we wore them, to prove she has kept it for decades.

I'm gonna do same for my kiddies.
They are useful #ntoor

paperlace/kachisbarbie. we have a brawl?

guess I'll just have to free her then. I'll think of how to pack them somewhere to create space in the room.
