My mother paints as a hobby. Her job involved drawing and I think she misses it. Good for her.
The problem is she has started painting pictures for us, her children, and expects us to put them up in our houses. I don't like them much. Some are ok, some are downright dreadful - misshapen people and garish colours.
Now we're moving house and I don't want to drag them all along to the new house. AIBU to chuck them out? I don't think a charity shop would take them.
She is living abroad temporarily but when she comes back she will notice their absence and I am scared of admitting getting rid of them.
