(14,531 posts)when we downsize for the kids to come in and take whatever they want then. I get veto power just in case I still want it or need it. I want them to give me a list of things they want, that I am keeping.
If some is still left that I think should stay in the family, It will be offered out to cousins, nieces and nephews.
Then I will buy the cheap stuff that can be donated or tossed when we are gone.
After our Mom passed I had one sibling wanting just about everything and started the bickering. Then she had the nerve to say she got nothing. She filled up her huge SUV 4 times and I walked out with a target bag.
10 years later I am waiting for my copies of movies and pictures she promised she would copy for all of us.
IOW I am going to try to avoid that ill will with my kids.
