[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 475936, member: 6705"] First things first - :hugs: OK. I know how the "only child" bit goes. I am one. My parents are still married, so not even a step much less a half sibling. BUT... My Mom was an only, as well. After having to take care of [I]her[/I] parents' things... She and Dad decided I would never have to go through that. So... Her cranberry glass is just "pretty", not an heirloom. The milk glass belonged to my great-gma. The coffee table and end tables I grew up with, that gpa made, are already in my living room... They got "new" ones, nice but no sentimental value for me. Same for their table, china cabinet, etc. Asked me if I wanted the bed frame (HUGE monstrosity)... No... Sold it, got Sauder. And on and on. I pretty much know what's important... And I have most of the big stuff already. But - Gma & Gpa's wasn't as bad as you describe. I don't know what to say besides - keep pushing for the apartment... But don't sink much money into the house, sweetie. [/QUOTE]
