I visit my parents, who live an hour away, once a week. My mom continuously battles depression but lately she says she is doing better. The doc switched up her meds a little and she said its helping. But every time I visit her the house is a pig sty. She doesn't dust, vacuum, or anything. I usually try and help outside with the yard and stuff when I can and I always clean the house when I'm home. its getting to be a lot- they have a new recliner and have the old one sitting in the kitchen/ living room area. They were moving a dresser and it was too heavy to get it into the new room, so it's been sitting in the living room for two months. I don't get it. I trip over crap all the time. I don't know how to help them and as much as I like helping them by cleaning, it's getting old. I'm tired of doing it all the time.
My mom has health issues and is on disability, so she doesn't work- she has some nerve damage and stuff. But that doesn't mean she can't clean every other week. It's not horrible but it's def needs a cleaning. Nothing like on the tv show Hoarders, but still. Who knows how far it will go! I just don't know what to do!
