I was at work but I did see the preview, I am assuming that Kim and Aggie were on the show from Lifetime's "how clean is your house". But from the preview this is by far the nastiest house they have ever been too.
absolutely! I really started to feel sick from it. She never cleaned her kitchen, or threw old food away, or cleaned in the bathroom. They found fecal matter on her DINING ROOM TABLETravisMT81 said:

I am so fearful to admit this is my mothers house. Not the dirty sick yucky stuff, but the clutter and can't get rid of things. (more like the video tape that lady showed of her mother's house, but not as extreme.) She doesn't have rooms full of newspapers, but there are some stacks and loose ones all over. We have been after her to get rid of stuff for years. Mr.Phd thinks it is a battle for space between my father and her, they both refuse to get rid of anything or the other one will put stuff there (my mother it is books, my father fish tanks.) However the fish has long since passed away and just the tanks are there. At least they are clean now (hubby went over to it.)
I am seriously considering hiring someone to clean it out. I have a hard enough time keeping my own house clean (what with the 2 kids). They used to blame it on the kids too, but then we all moved out and our house's aren't too bad. (or at least normal, mine even has really clean moments but they don't last long, normally until little PhD wakes up from nap or comes home from preschool.)
The sad part is we can't really go over there for long because it is so unsafe for little PhD. It becomes a real problem for holidays because their house is the biggest (and they don't have a cat.) I have a brother that won't come to my house because of our cat so every time we have a holiday here they won't come.

aww yeah i definately have family members with the clutter problem. My grandfather never threw ANYTHING away. He always found a reason to reuse stuff too though. I cant tell you how many recycled greeting cards we've seen. Too cute.DisneyPhD said:
My aunt, however, has the dirty yucky thing kinda going on....not to that extreme but there are definately flies in the kitchen, and bags of garbage on the floor. Its sad really.

There is a generational thing going on that is for sure (Depression and children who's parents were in the depression.) Things shouldn't only have one use, and what do you mean my comptuer is no good anymore, I got it new only 10 years ago.
No sick smelly stuff, they will get rid of that. But if it doesn't smell or mold they keep it (like cans of food from 1993, or the countless paper and pastic bags.) We take stuff from her just to throw it out at our house.

My dad's house is so clutter*ucked! He refuses to part with anything and it has all original decor from 1973. He let it go after my mom left. Then it started sinking after he put a slate pool table in the old living room, termites got into the bathroom, and doors won't close. He sees nothing wrong with this and refuses to address any problems (here again, this is the dad who won't discuss where any policies, bank accounts, etc are in case something happens to him). I think this is so unfair as all he is doing is leaving us kids with a big mess to sort out.
The girl who works with me has her mother's house to contend with. This house COULD be on the messy house episodes. They refuse to throw anything out, have clothes strewn anywhere, dogs pooping anywhere etc. My friend tries to clean it the best she could; but where does she start? It is so disgusting.......

well it was always cute..."oh grandpa never went fishing a day in his life, but he has 3 fishing rods just in case"
but since he passed on in february...we've been trying to clean it all out
woah, not so cute anymore :lol: (his collecting habit will always be cute, just its a big overwhelming to have to deal with!)

That is my big fear. My friend's grandfather was like that too, except you couldn't just throw stuff out because he hid great things in crapy things (like a dimond ring in a bag with other junk and trash.) You had to go threw each and everything or you would loose something great.
I did hear that the youth group from the church is supost to come over and clean out the gagrage soon. :sohappy: Any step forward is a good one.

My mom's a clutter freak too. She is also pretty lazy and just tosses things wherever they may land (cookie sheets in the spare room on the floor, packages of things on counters and tables) because she was "busy" at the time it needed to be put away. But it'd be a cold day in _ _ _ _ when she let an animal crap all over the place or if her house remotely smelled like poo. It's one thing to be a packrat, but quite another to be downright nasty and disregard all rules of hygene and health. :hurl: That's just sick.
In my psych class, Frued associated dirty habits like this with potty training that was not strict enough. Too strict potty training was associated with nervous conditions and some forms of paranoia about hygene. *shrug* not so sure how true that is.

A little bit of psycholgy can be a dangerous thing. :lol: :lol:
When I was in college they had section in my abnormal psy book about "Psychology Student Syndrome." When students identify with every aspect and feel they have ever Syndrome and Disorder in the DSM while learning about them.
While Frued has some validity, we have learned a lot since his days and sometimes a cigar is truely just a cigar. I tend to agree more with the experts that Oprah had on about perefection, depression and hopelessness leading to not making any dession. (and yes their is some internal stuff going on about self worth.) I tend to think the potty training thing tends to show itself more in bad lanuage and stuff (swearing, hense potty mouth.
)
I do fully agree there really is a differnce between the clutter and mess, and kicten and bathroom issues! However if it doesn't smell or make you sick they (my parents) will let is sit around forever before they get around to throwing it out.
This is the same women who when little PhD was born thought I should have 2 lundrey baskets, one for clean and one for dirty so I wouldn't get the clean cothes dirty when I put them back in the basket. It is all one way or the other!

I heard some diseases make you tire easily and you can end up dieing from it. I get tired a lot because of work, stress, school, etc....am I going to die?!?
:lol: I love when students go into these classes and associate everything with themselves and swear they're going to die within a week. (Side note...we talked about how there has been 5 major destruction events in past that killed off everything and they always happen so many years after each other. Well it turns out right now that we're at the end of the 6th cycle. Now each cycle can be around 25 million years, so where at the end of that we are, who knows. We were told we're all going to die from the depletion of the ozone layer and we'll burn to death.) :lol:
My girlfriend's best friend is going to school to become a pharmacy technician and she hates her classes because she gets paranoid that she has everything they learn about. It cracks me up the way people relate to those kinds of things.
As far as gross houses, luckily I don't know anyone that their house is beyond gross. My grandparents, too, keep everything (more my grandpa more than grandma). They work at their church resale store (similar to Salvation Army) and grandpa seems that he needs everything that is taken in there. So he takes it home to "fix" it and then takes about 1/1000 of everything he brings home back to sell. The rest of it...it's somewhere in their house or garage or car or...oh man....they've got too much crap!
