[QUOTE="envisablepuppet, post: 78571, member: 585"] Thanks everyone you have given me a whole new outlook on the problem. I never thought of a lot of the points you guys brought up or the connections to some of the other behaviors. I think you just gave me the perfect answer to my question. It seems so obvious now that that is most likely the case here. I have attributed that to some of the weird decisions she makes sometimes but not for these kinds of problems. I wonder if it's possible for them to out grow it in time. Mine does the exact same thing. She used to have tons of this kind of thing in her room when she was younger. She's even hidden them. She is a little better about that now but she does still do it. If I tell her to she says she will but nine times out of ten she doesn't. If I stand over her (at 22/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif) she will throw it away but whether it stays in the trash I haven't kept track of for years. It occurred to me to check and make sure it did when she was younger but not now that she is considered an adult. I guess I'll have to start paying more attention. [B]Marguerite[/B], We do recycle here to an extent and she does ok with that. The city charges so much for us to recycle most ppl here refuse to pay the cost. Because we live in the country we burn the burnable stuff and haul the rest to the dump. Ditto me Janet. I have tried leaving it to see what would happen lol bad idea. The only thing that happens is that it grows :(. I have been in houses that just have pathways through all the stuff. I had a friend in HS whose parents had news papers stacked ceiling to floor and paths that led to the kitchen etc. I had wondered why she never invited anyone over to her house. I felt so sorry for the girl. Thanks again everybody your responses were quite enlightening :laugh: Lea [/QUOTE]
