I asked my adult children to claim anything they wanted from my storage areas by August 31st or it goes to charity. This is what happen

old school projects, baby blankets, and mystery cords.

For years, I told myself I was “saving it until the kids were ready.” But my kids are adults. One is in a one-bedroom apartment, one just bought a townhouse, and one still lives with two roommates and claims to own “basically no furniture on purpose.” Meanwhile, I was moving around a high chair, three bins of dance costumes, and a bread machine nobody had used since 2012. At some point, storage stops being sentimental and starts being unpaid property management.
