[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you convince a parent moving out of a house they’ve been in for 30+ years that they need to get rid of stuff and it does not have value (and no, I do not want it). Everything is a fight (“but that old 2000s cellphone is an antique now!” “This old electric typewriter is worth something.”). No, no there is no value (no one is going to buy this junk!) How do I convince my parent that all of this belongs in the back of a 1800-Junk truck? [/quote] I say I have a friend on her first apartment and she needs the stuff. Then I throw it out. They want it to go to use, and I want it gone. A white lie lets everyone get what they want. [/quote] And if you actually do have friends/neighbors/acquaintances with kids furnishing a post-college apartment, you can usually get rid of furniture. But yeah a white lie accomplishes the same thing.[/quote]
