That’s low, isn’t it?
Still, at least I've not got to the point of buying an additional house...
Another low - my 9 year old daughter loves Harry Potter and Lego but the Bricktober set which I gave her for Christmas and the Oliveander minifigure have somehow teleported to the top of her wardrobe, ‘safely’ out of her reach.
My set buying got to it's worst when at the stage that I couldn't even be arsed to open and remove the sets from the shipping boxes as I knew I wouldn't get round to building them at the time. I have Amazon and [email protected] boxes stacked up and I don't actually remember what's in them. (This problem is currently being addressed by the way).
'So these are your kids'?'
'Ha - no. Definitely not.'
-Extended pause-
'Okay, well let me get my tools and get started.'
(And no, 'Collect Underpants' is not Step 1 of this plan.)
(And, and, no, 'Captain Underpants' is not involved in this plan.)
One time I got close to selling a new set that I'd taken the minifigs out of. I was all set to sell it on eBay, when I realised that if I saw that particular minifigless set for that price, I would buy it. So I kept it. It was a really good deal though!

'Yeah, that means you (@vwong19) have a problem.'
'What does that mean for me? Does that mean I have a problem?'
'Yes. I'm sure the electrican we had here yesterday would agree.'
My path is fairly similar. Except I came to this site seeking help with organizing a mountain of LEGO keychains. But I stayed for the memes and silly banter.
Also so my cloths dresser is now amazingly organized.
And then I realise that I've spent more time thinking about how to put Lego away (and time spent making this post) than to get Lego out, and that makes me sad. So I forget it all and go build a set with my son. But the time has already been wasted...
This is what I have:
