[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's parents: very organized. Very healthy. No hoarding.

My side: cannot throw away anything without lengthy navel-gazing about when/how/from whom they got the item, and how 'all it needs is a new whatever' to make it 100% awesome and usable again. My brother and I are militant about throwing crap out and believe we have no right to do that to our loved ones. Our older sister... the keeper of the hoard (our parents home) not so much. She seems to equate keeping everything with loving and respecting everyone, though it is the opposite.[/quote]

Me again, wait hold on. DH's parents do have something weird. FIL's brother carves and makes art/animals out of coconuts so there are some odd looking coconuts around. They put them out when he visits so he knows they appreciate his art. As a result, they get gifted more coconut art. We got one from him for our wedding and were in the process of throwing it out (really what am I going to do with it...) when I noticed it had a plug and he'd put $3000 in it. The coconuts weren't so ugly after that.[/quote]
