[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, let go of MIL's supposedly financially valuable stuff. It's probably worth way less than you think. Time with your kids and your parents is far more precious.[/quote] This causes so much stress with DH's mother, but we've largely stuck to our guns. I get that she can't let go of the memory of an era when her children were young (e.g., their game table), but it's also her insistence that these objects have worth. What she thinks are heirlooms are simply not the case. DH is pretty good about it, but I know there will be another round of this when they downsize again to assisted living. While FIL's travel days are largely over, she will probably be able to move around for awhile. If that were not the case, then I might agree to take some items, but not really do so. [/quote]
