alexseanchaiCan I count things as out of the house if they are in fact merely out of my custody?
Because I emailed my mother last night to tell her I'm weeding my wardrobe, kindly do not impede the progress of the weeded items to the Goodwill donation station or the trash bin as appropriate. (I wouldn't have thought to do this if Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up hadn't made a point of saying "don't let your parents see what you're getting rid of".) Her response was she's going through what I'm getting rid of whether I like it or not. She's rather missed the point, and I know better than to think she's actually going to go through this stuff before the community garage sale in a couple weeks. But short of my sneaking the bags of clothes out to my car in the dead of night, she's going to insist on keeping the stuff in the house for going through at a future date. It just won't be in my room.
