Oh no I won't unload it on them if they didn't want it! My DD20 lives in an apartment at college (1st year in apartment) her and the roomates went out and bought all their Christmas decorations, made me sick as I had a ton they could've had for free!For years, this is how my parents would get rid of their stuff. It got so bad that every time I visited I had to lock my car doors and put the keys in my pockets or else I'd find all kinds of junk hidden in my car when I got home.
I think a lot like you do as well, I "might" need it some day. Of all the things I've ever donated or gotten rid of, I might have actually wished I had 1 or 2 items back. That's it. So, I remind myself of this when I find myself thinking that way.
So when I was putting Christmas decor away, I started a box of things I didn't use and off to goodwill it went. I won't keep it, I want to get rid of stuff. I guess I'm just thinking of how I was at that age (didn't want to waste my $$ on that kind of stuff) but they aren't like me! My luck, they take after the inlaws.
