What… neither thought of getting hotel room for at least first 3 nights after she arrives?
After initial humor of “closet mom”, this storyline is really more than stupid or unbelievable.
If there is no other solution (financially) for this son and mom to co-habitat, one bedroom apt can be easily made into comfy mom in bedroom and son on sofabed in living room. WHO would ever ask their mom to sleep on the floor in a CLOSET!!!
PS: we need more backstory on this duo… like what the hell is that messy floor to ceiling pile up in storage unit? Did I miss any info regarding them?
Actually, I DID see the part about mom’s hoarding problem and saw the piles in the living room. But, I still think he could have given her the bedroom, which would contain her stuff (other than the storage unit). And the rest of apt could be maintained. Of course, the pens for pets take up room too.
Apparently,as much as he hates the mess, he might have given up and its overtaking him too.
I have a hoarder in my family (cousin) and its amazing how his brain convinces him that he “HAS TO KEEP” every little thing, even wrappers for cookies… “just in case”.
Sad…sad… but still think his Mom should have more than a closet.
If they mentioned it on the show, I missed it as well. I was wondering if Closet Mom’s home was foreclosed on or she was evicted from an apartment and they moved all her belongings into storage?
If they are so financially strapped to be a in one bedroom, how then can he be affording the K-1 process?
You only need to make like 22k/year. I make way way more than that and can only afford a one bedroom within like 3 hours of where i live now, that part doesn’t seem weird to me.
Hoarders are going to hoard a space, who knows if there’s an apartments worth of stuff in there or it’s all trash, also not surprising based on the circumstances.
I don’t think it’s unbelievable at all. As mentioned, the mom is a hoarder, which occurs as a result of or in tandem with other mental health issues. Judging by the poor state of her teeth, she’s probably had a lot of struggles, and if she is working, it’s likely not much more than minimum wage. He obviously loves his mom and wants to help her, but also probably doesn’t want to upgrade his apartment and lock into a permanent living situation. Right now, the space is small, and there are lots of animals, so the hoard is pretty under control, but with her own room, it would likely get out of hand quickly.

The info you missed is the very obvious signs that the mom is a hoarder.
