My eldest is 19 years old, DD is 16 and DS2 is 12 so you'd think I'd be past all this nonsense. DS2 has 'inherited' all the outgrown toys and books of the older two so we never had to tackle the issue before. Consequently his room is rammed. He decided to have a clear out of some of the books in his room. So today in my lunch hour I took two large bags for life full of outgrown children's books. I debated long and hard about what I could keep (for the grandchildren 
) and decided that the vast majority had to go if the children didn't want them.
I thought I had gone through all this when we dumped the baby stuff. Heartwrenching
