[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's  not in my house because I was never offered the furniture nor did I ask
If my parents were going  into a home then it would be appropriate to start dismantling their house and rifling through their possessions perhaps but this seems ghoulish. I don't  ever presume that other people possessions in their own home are up for grabs.[/quote]

Maybe it came up naturally, like "Larla's outgrowing her crib, we're going to need to furnish her room now!" And the parents offered. That's how I wound up with my brother's childhood furniture. It was in my parents' basement because they had bought him NEW furniture as a young adult who was in and out of their house in his 20s (along with my big cherry childhood desk, which my mom told me in no uncertain terms she was giving him because it was a perfectly good desk not in current use at the time). He wasn't using it, has no storage space in his city apartments, and has no intention to have kids. It was literally just taking up space. They were thrilled to have a grandchild use it. And no, we didn't ask because my parents didn't want to store it for 20 more years for sentimental reasons. [/quote]
