[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to inherit a large pastel of myself.

After my kids move out, I might put it up in their room.  It would match.  But I don't own it now and I never would have burdened them with "Big Mommy is Watching You" during their childhood.

I was a pretty generic cute kid.  My portrait's not total trash.  In 100 years somebody might want it.  Sometimes older pictures with less emotional association and more of a historical style are favored.  We sold a Victorian-era summer cottage in 2000 and the person who bought it absolutely insisted in getting the giant family bible and a large framed early photographic portrait of a female ancestor of mine.  We duplicated it and gave her the original because it was a mandatory for her. She redecorated the whole house in dumb and period-incorrect ways but had to have a few bits and bobs of original provenance.

TL;DR let your kids keep or trash it because it's irreplaceable.  If they like you, they might want it.

I have my grandpa's diplomas in a manila folder.  Not sure what to do with them.  But they hardly take up any room.
