it always embarassed me growing up that our house was kind of dirty.

like i avoided bringing women over and shit because of the clutter.

i cant be the only one who grew up like this.

    Oh yeah, my mom raised me alone and she has pretty bad ADHD and she's a bit of a hoarder, so yeah, I grew up in a pretty dirty home.

        Yeah hording behavior is not just having a bunch of shit, it's also a deep unwillingness to throw any of it away.

        Oh it was hoarding, especially mail and shipping boxes. I appreciate you going to bat for my mom though.

          I was mostly thinking about myself and how my kids might see me. I always have 5-10 projects of various states of completion around the house, but I mostly try to keep them tucked away if I'm not actively working on them.
