My house feels chaotic with 3 under 5s sometimes. I try to keep on top of clutter and have been busy clearing out old and broken toys to make room for xmas and birthday toys.
Today my stepdad sent a text saying he'd left some toys and books at our house while we were out. It was ds's birthday, so I assumed it was a present.
I got back from a bonfire night display about half an hour ago, exhausted and ready to settle down for the night. I was upset to discover 3 huge cardboard boxes of what I can only describe as junk at the side of my house.
The 20 year old action men I can forgive as unwanted donations for the kids, though I would have preferred to have been asked if I wanted then first.
However the boxes also contained my brothers' old school books from 15 years ago, broken make up cases, bits of an old plastic tree, broken costume jewellery, broken photo frames etc etc. I feel like crying. We only just manage to keep on top of clutter as it is.
Would I be unreasonable to ring my stepdad tomorrow and ask him to pick up his rubbish as we don't want it?
AIBU?
to be fuming at this.
