I met a pair of sloppy parents who didn’t care about cleanliness and turned their home into a garbage dump. I couldn’t persuade them, and I collapsed and died!

I also have a pair of parents like this. My mother likes to buy very large things, such as sweater knitting machines. After buying them, she doesn’t use them once a year, and just leaves them in the corner until they are covered with dust. My dad was too lazy to flush the toilet after using the queen size, so I flushed it for him. They also especially like to buy big items, such as bicycles, and rarely use them after buying them. They just pile them up at home. There is almost no walking path in my house, which makes me very annoyed when I see them. The only nicer place in my house is my room, and I forbid them from entering my room. When I leave my room (our 3-bedroom apartment is about 100 square meters, and 3 people live there), I have to be careful even when walking, otherwise I will bump into things. I can guarantee that even if a thief comes in, he won't know how to steal it. . . . .

Don’t try to clean up for them. If you can’t clean up, you will be exhausted. I have tried it. Don't try to change them, they are just the way they are. The only thing you can do is to divide your space with them and manage your own space. If financial conditions permit, move out on your own. Whether I am a biological child or an only child, I have thought about moving out on my own countless times. If you are not my biological child, if you really hate it, you can leave this home.

The best way is to rent another house on the same floor so that you can visit them every day and have your own clean independent space. Don't change them, everyone's thoughts and living habits cannot be changed; we can't understand them collecting junk, and they can't understand us dressing up as two-dimensional people when we go to comic exhibitions. They have their joy in "collecting rags." We are clean and have our own happiness, as long as everyone divides the space and distance.
