[quote=Anonymous]I would be tempted to say "The extra dust collectors are prime for donation (you can get a tax deduction); give us whatever is of heirloom or significant importance to the family as a whole." I tend to think that even at their age, they fully realize what the importance is of what they are giving you. If they look around your house, they should know what you actually would value enough to keep. It seems so very selfish of them to otherwise try to pawn crap off on you. If it has no significant family value, whats the point? A rhetorical question of course. No, we would never (yes never) pay for storage either OP. We are frugal and MIL likes to think we are oozing money, for some reason. Frankly she can keep her stuff and just give us the proceeds of her stuff so that we might recover a fraction of the babysitter fees from all the times MIL would have rather sat home by herself than babysat (once per year). We could actually really use that money toward college instead. [/quote]
