my mother has 500 pairs of shoes. i am allergic to shellfish and cats.
My sister and her husband are both hoarders of things.  they love to buy in bulk and just continue to keep everything they buy therefore their house is full of stuff That kind of behavior has been associated with health risks , economic burdens, and adverse affects on loved ones. It's unfortunate.
I know. I have tried to help them but they don't want to listen to me I think it is probably time. I don't want to get into a fight but they need to stop Wow! I wouldn't even know what to do with 100 pairs of shoes Wow! Maybe you could convince her to get rid of some of them Sure, what do you have in mind Sounds like a plan to me!
If their hoarding has become a true problem it may be time to sit down and talk to one or both of them about it.  My Mother is a bit of a hoarder herself. Mainly Fashion and items of that nature. She literally has 500 pairs of shoes!  I told her that it was insane and I couldn't even regularly wear my 8 pair. So I know she hasn't set eyes on some in years! I have brought it up a few times but never in a serious manner. I think it is time to do so. Want to make a deal?  I will address my mother's shoe hoarding issue with her and you will talk with your Sister about the hoarding tendencies they have and we can report back later. Ok great! I think if we approach them with empathy and love the convos will go well.
there s nothing wrong with you . it s them that have the issue . honestly , you may need to talk to a physician to see if medicine might be the solution . another solution is to add the items to my organized stockpile another solution is to add the items to my organized stockpile some furniture and clothes . things i don't want to pack . another solution is to add the items to my organized stockpile
I guess you'll have to get a storage unit.  The question then is what goes in the storage unit?  Furniture or the kids crafts.  Haha. YES. I say make them do it. Maybe take away phones, etc. if they don't get it together. No excuses for that! I wouldnt spend that much on a pair of shoes, but I would like to say that I could at least I could, but they all have lives now. I guess you'll have to get a storage unit.

They seem to lose the desire to throw stuff away because they are attached to it - a lot of them have gone through really bad things like divorce or loss of a spouse and then it starts.

If she was unwilling to discard the items and the shoes were covering up living areas, I would hate it. 500 pairs of shoes is definitely way too many.
