[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I'm the adult and my parents downsized. Here are the things that I have/had and what I did with them:

1. Clothes my mom hand made for me. I can't let one item go, but the rest I never put on my daughter and don't really care about.
2. Cabbage patch dolls. I don't care about these. My kids didn't care.
3. "My" christmas ornaments. Maybe one that had my name on it. The rest are really garbage and I like the ones my kids made better. They already think they're garbage :-)
4. My glass dolls. Don't care.
5. Bowls and serving pieces that are sentimental and remind me of growing up. I use some of these. They mean a lot. 
6. My scrapbooks, awards, trophies, diplomas. These are so cringe. I have them but need to take that next big step and dump them.
7. Family genealogy research. I have this and it's valuable to me.

OP I hope you see this trend. The more universal things that made me "me" are the things I still care about and want to keep or pass down. The momentary stuff from the 80s and 90s. Not so much. [/quote]
