We outgrew it, eventually, but it took a few...decades lol!<br /><br />OMG, Marci, don't even get me started on the pack-rat-ness. Although, this plays back to Faith's comment, because this was one of those times my kids surprised me in cleaning out the basement, they voluntarily cut a pile of toys in half and gave away a good pile of very nice things they'd outgrown or didn't play with very much.<br /><br />Oh, no, Mary! You are not alone! I deliberately stopped after one boy. When he was still a baby. I had a feeling one would be enough!!!! (My brother has four, book-ended by girls.

Yay! I've been told with every child a mother loses brain cells. I believe I have only two brain cells left and they are currently waving goodbye to each other.

She doesn't have siblings, but she has a few friends that are like siblings.<br /><br />Mine is a packrat, even if she no longer plays with a toy (or never did), the second I say, "Let's give it away," she decides she <i>must</i> play with it <i>now</i>. That lasts about 5 minutes before she's bored with the toy (usually Barbies) and wants to play with blocks, books, puzzles, iPad, My Little Ponies, etc. I've talked to a number of parents. Apparently, they have to secret things away in the dark of night (or more aptly, when their kids are out of the house) to get rid of things, too.<br /><br />Hoarders! All of them!
