Over the last few years, several members of DH's family have had big clear outs of their houses. The problem is they seem to think that we want all the stuff they don't want. Much of it has been kitchen items, ornaments, just general bits and pieces. None of it is family heirlooms or anything we would need or use. Sometimes I ask my friends or family if they want it instead but they don't usually.
Our house isn't that big, we genuinely don't have room and I really don't want all their crap but he feels guilty and ends up accepting stuff after I've said no which makes me cross. Even when I say to them 'sorry, we have no space', they somehow manage to push it on us anyway.
Am I being really unreasonable here? If I say no he gets a bit stroppy and martyred. I've suggested charity shops but they behave as though I'm trying to give away the family silver.
