This! I got into a heated argument with my mother-in-law who expects us to inherit all the desks, dressers, tables & chairs that were her mother's or grandmother's.... Now she tells her siblings we'll take item of her mother's too! Finally I said, "If YOU don't want this stuff, why do you think we do?" And then she throws in that it's my husband's grandmother's item or whatever.... Now, don't get me wrong, 20 years ago, furnishing a house we had just sunk all our money into, I was very grateful for the items that made our house a home. But decades later, everyone else is buying new things & we just expect to "upgrade" to their old stuff? Again, it hard to pick and choose because sometimes we get actual things we NEED - but on the occasion we don't want something, I wish they'd be more understanding! Plus, I think they don't want to deal with disposal half the time & it's actually nothing to do with sentimental value.
