What QQ said re family...
My cousins are clearing their parents house. It's a nice house, and they had lots of nice things, though nothing particularly valuable. The rest of the family (my aunt's siblings, primarily, and their offspring) are OUTRAGED and INCENSED that they have not been asked if there is anything they want. Some have asked outright for eg a painting or a clock, but have been told that one of the children is having it. Isn't this right, though? Some of the family have been offered a keepsake - eg an ornament or small clock (rather than an oil painting or a grandfather clock), but have turned their noses up at this and there is a lot of anger that the children are getting "all the good stuff." I was there at the weekend helping them to clear out, and someone said acidly, I suppose you helped yourself to something nice. No, I was given my aunt's rolling pin, which is great for me, and a nice keepsake, as we both love cooking. My family are like something from EastEnders anyway...
