If you can afford it, Sir Pack Rat, hire a well-recommended
professional de-clutterer. Could be the best bux you ever spent.
They are trained to deal with your kind <g> where emotion dominates
rationality.
Not that you're generally *irrational*, as your take on wife's clothes
stream indicates the contrary.
A Google search with keywords like "household de-clutter" yields many
hits.
Also these professionals may be listed in your phonebook or local
newspaper.
Make it easy on yourself; relating to the kids is most important.
