My MIL has a - well, for lack of a better term - a bunch of shit! No, I'm not gonna sugar coat - it's crap. She supposedly "wanted" to sell the stuff at a yard sale but she had her prices so overpriced that people laughed at her. So she got a monthly storage unit. That one was not big enough so she got a bigger unit and her husband built shelves to house the crap and make it accessable. At the same time she complains about not having any money. I don't think I need to continue the story. It 's a mind set that the person with the crap often can't or won't see and if the family members want contact, they sometimes have to shut up.
