I feel like I am living in a constant tide of STUFF. Which has only got worse since having a baby 5 months ago. I try so hard to fight against it. I do weekly sort outs for the charity pile. Recycle as standard. I have regifted what feels like hundreds of items to people I know having babies taken clothes back with labels in for store credit. Avoid buying new clothes unless really needed. Don't really buy anything in general. I've asked grandparents to stop buying soft toys and general tat. (More politely than that). I use reusable wipes and nappies. Im really trying but I feel like I'm bloody swimming against a tide of plastic and toys and general life crap and I feel really shit about it
Even Mary whatsherfaace with her sparking joy didn't help me. As soon as I get rid I seem to gain it all back again.
AIBU to want to live in a little shed somewhere with just an oven and a few jumpers.. maybe some biscuits and my son (obviously...)
