[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have told my parents and ILs that unless its money, real estate, or jewelry I don't want it. ILs were stung but I stand by what I said. [/quote] When my MIL had a hard time downsizing to a condo because of her attachment to so many things, I would tell her time and again as she sorted through her stuff, "I'll take that!" Then had a yard sale where I mostly gave things away or sold for $.50-1.00 and most of what was left I deposited with goodwill or tossed. Kept a few prominent things for her to see when she came over. It was the kind thing to do. She is gone now and I miss her and frankly I miss being at her house with all her beloved things. I am glad we kept some of it to remind us of her.[/quote]
