Burn it all!
Okay I have something I am ashamed of ... I want to all the skids clothes and toys they got for Christmas from BM.
I thought I would be fine after I felt only pity for her ... then I realized ... All of her garbage is in MY HOUSE!!!!
Help me get over this stupid, petty, thing ...

I feel your pain… our house isn’t even HALF the size of the kids mum’s, but because we have them the majority of the time we get saddled with ALL of the “stuff”!!! My rule of thumb is play your hearts out until bed time and then everything gets put back in their rooms… when I finally collapse on the couch at 9:30 with my glass of red I want it to look like and adult only dwelling!
(and if that means doing a massive *sweep* of crap into their closet or under their little beds, so be it!)
Well ... DH has a solution.
Well ... DH has a solution. If they are rotten, its THOSE toys we take away.
As for the ugly sweaters, if they should fall apart during a "laundry" accident then there isn't much that can be done.

DH found my “dirty little secret” over Christmas… the kid’s closets.
He found MOUNDS of swords, cap guns, basically anything that makes noise or that they can use to destroy our home but is allowed under the guise of a “toy”, piled up in the top portions of their closets (where they still can’t reach them). He got really heated too… “If you don’t like their stuff than just say so, don’t just toss it around like its trash”.
I pretended to be all hurt by the comment and said “I’m just afraid they’ll hurt themselves with those things… I put them up so they will be “monitored” while playing with them”. That seemed to pacify him a little.
lol that reminds me of what
lol that reminds me of what dh is doing when sd goes back to bm this weekend! bm asked if dh would get her some clothes and send them back (uh thats what CS is for!! but anyway) he was like SURE! we were planning on getting her new clothes anyway, so we are sending back all her old clothes that we had bought for her last year and some toys that she got for xmas (we dont have enough room for them here) so it all works out!
