How does a mother's hoarding affect a 7 year old child?

Her mom saves things including bulk mail, newspapers, spaghetti sauce jars, my daughters art work (all of it) price tags from new clothes, oid outgrown toys, clothes, shoes, books, etc. There is no place really to put things "away", only piles that can be made so that things aren't in the middle of the floor. Corners, cabinets, drawers perimeters of all the floors are full. I'm afraid that my seven year old is developing habits like disorganization problems herself right now..
I know it makes me feel confused,, mentally cluttered and out of control. I worry about the impact on my daughter. Any advise?

first off- this woman needs some help.i'm not trying to sound rude but, this is a real problem for many people. try to get her to a doc who specializes in these matters. as for your daughter, i don't know if this will rub off on her or not. while girls tend to be more organized than boys, most 7 yr olds have a degree of disorganization anyway. it's a skill that comes with time. i think for now the best thing would be to help the little one learn how to take care of her things properly. odds are, she gets frustrated and confused with the mess too.
