[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandma doesn't leave.  We are all living on the same farm (different houses). And I am talking about things even goodwill wouldn't want.

Not trying to be defensive here -honest.  But none of you are concerned about old toys with lead paint, etc. ?  I wasn't vetoing everything sight unseen, but this is the Grandma who thinks she shouldn't have to put her gun away at her house and thinks I am unreasonable for not letting him stay there overnight.

I love old toys.  Have MIL keep them at her house for your children to play with when they're there.  That will keep them "special" for your children and satisfy your MIL, and the exposure to anything dangerous will be minimal because they won't have access to them during all their waking hours.

My parents set up a playroom in their basement for all the grandchildren, and it's full of all our old toys.  (Love those vintage Fisher Price toys-- house, hospital, farm, garage, boat and camper!)  It's always a highlight of any visit for my children, and I love seeing all the things I used to love as a child.  In general I'm a very vigilant parents, especially about toxins, etc., but I have no worries about the old toys.[/quote]
