Why all wives like that?
Buy buy buy, keep keep keep.
Don't want to throw.
Then house becomes many mountains , some high and some low.

Search for the Korean variety show “House Detox” and slowly watch the whole season together with your family first to get inspired and get ideas on how to proceed before starting your actual decluttering journey

I had a number of arguments with her over the stuff she hoard liao. I told her the store no space can we throw. She just kept quiet.

Some of these people who like to hoard things, psychologically they cannot throw the things by themselves. They simply cannot do it.

When you throw without them knowing, they are actually ok.

Anyway I am prepared to tank any wrath. I got my own wrath also.
Normally should be something sentimental or value if hoard, if not throw throw throw. 😅

If u hv uncooperative elderly, you can make it zero things in e house , two days later three pieces of new clutter from iDonKnowWhoseFrenDontWant appear ... Repeat after X days or weeks, whole room back to same before declutter state... It is useless de for one human to do declutter but one always add clutter and a few humans to just let them be

Yes, useless indeed.
Left hand throw, right hand bring back more stuff.

My house might take probably at least 6 to 9 months to clear all the bloody rubbish.

FULLY Remove everything from storage/cabinates/racks etc, and put back...

laborious but it will surprise you, you might put back less...

At the same time can clean the shelves

my idea is a miniature version of what I actually did end of 2023.

we actually moved out to re-renovate existing place. take out everything, throw lotsa stuff, werehouse 40 over boxes + furnitures, move back in unbox, still got many things to throw...
