Turns out, keeping a clutter-free home is easier said than done!
Herhusbandand 7-year-old daughter seemed to have a severe allergy to throwing anything away.
Seriously, it was like they were competing for the title of Worlds Best Hoarder.
So, whats a mom to do in this situation?
Start a secret decluttering mission?
Yup, thats what this mom did.
Armed with a lot of oversized trash bags, she began sneakily whisking away items to the charity shop.
She figured if no one noticed, no harm done, right?
But even secret agents have their slip-ups and so did this mom.
Sometimes she got a bit too carried away and had second thoughts.
Ive sometimes been a bit too ruthless and then regretted it, she admitted.
Her undercover operations werent all smooth sailing.
Feeling guilty, mom rushed back to the charity shop tobuyback the toy.
Nostalgia can really sneak up on you, cant it?
So, desperate for solutions, mom turned to the internet and got a mixed bag of advice.
Some parents shared their own sneaky tricks, like bagging up kids stuff and labeling it with a date.
