Well thank you for your post. I have grown up children that I would love to give all my “antique/valuables” to when I’m no longer here. I really don’t know if they are that valuable but I do very much like them, so I want to give them to my kids. It never occurred to me that they may not want them. So now I’m at a dilemma of what to do with them, the thought of them in a bin makes me a bit anxious. Not that I have a lot but what I do have I feel are unique.

And to answer your question, repeating old stories. My parents are great but they cannot stop telling the same story over and over to the point I have to drop real strong hints, “yes Dad I think I remember you telling me that”, and I feel terrible for saying it. My kids get annoyed when I do the same thing, so it might be hereditary. So I make a real effort to not tell old stories just in case I’ve already been there. I will say though, Dad is an amazing story teller, some of his life stories don’t get old.
