      Surprisingly I live in a normal house but my in laws are incapable of downsizing, instead opting to throw another shipping container on the driveway when they get more stuff

        What? Please tell me I’m interpreting this wrong.

        They’re buying just random stuff(basically clutter), in quantities to fill shipping containers, multiple times? How can they afford it even?

          Kind of.

          When I moved in they cleared a few of the rooms which lead to another two containers. They turned the garage into a bedroom which again, all that stuff went into containers. They do add more stuff over time slowly too.

          It is. Its caused me a great deal of stress over the last 2 years but I’ve found the best solution is to realize its out of my control and just be a good man for my partner and a good father for my daughter. No point losing sleep over things out of my control. Easier said than done sometimes

            Some time in the distant future, you will have far less sorting and disposing of things you do not want or need. You will merely need to call a truck to haul the containers away and have it all auctioned off.

            Source: I have settled 2 estates. My parents and a great aunt. It’s a miserable job going through a lifetime’s collection of “stuff”.

              Yeah

              This sounds real savage but I’ve given up on the idea they will fix this themselves so I’m resigned to the fact it’ll me us that has to do it once they are gone.

            I actually thought you work in a container ship or something. This is insane. Who even needs three containers full of stuff? They are absolutrly destroying their property for just some more storage space.

            I admire your priorities, although you may want to consider that your daughter is learning that this is normal and okay, which it is not. 😬

              I completely agree. At this point in time my take home pay isn’t enough for us to move out. Once my daughter is at school and my partner gets a job we’ll move out

              Yep

              The house is full of shit too. I’ve just had to let it go to some degree. The first year living here was a real challenging adjustment

    No no you got it wrong. The way to measure life quality in your city was whether you could see three *trees *from your window, not three shipping containers. Easy to confuse, I know.
