I took a few things to our place, but a majority of it is still there. My room looks just how I left it, minus different sheets and curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-414093 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:56:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 414093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got rid of it. I didn't want it. Kind of wished we'd kept a few toys maybe, but they would just sit in a box for forever I'm sure!</p> <p>ETA: She kept some drawings/school projects/coming home outfit, etc. Just not all the toys we had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413997 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:57:30 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 413997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs squirreld: We found a bunch of his drawings too and plan on doing the same thing! Some of the stuffed animals we had to trash, I feared they were infested with the bubonic plague or something, they were so gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413995 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:56:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 413995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a big family so all my stuff was passed down to my sister... my mom did give me a few baby girl dresses that were mine and I cannot wait until I have a girl so she can wear them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413983 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:49:31 +0000 Mrs squirreld 413983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a box of primary school stuff from DH's parents - some of DH's drawing from when he was really young are cool! I'm gonna frame and and put them in our nursery when we get pregnant :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413874 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:52:51 +0000 mamabolt 413874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now there is a good amount in my parent's attic, not sure what will happen as LO gets old enough for it, whether they will give it to me or keep at their house to play with. Right now LO is the only grandchild, but my sister will probably have kids at some point too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413858 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:43:37 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 413858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom gave me everything. I was a little hurt by it because I thought she would like to keep some momento of me... I don't have the room for most of it so I got rid of a lot. My mom was sad about it but I told her that if she was so nostalgic about it then she should have kept it! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413827 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:26:51 +0000 sslm 413827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They've kept some stuff with the intention of giving it to my sister and me when we have kids. My niece is now 3, so she has a bunch of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413805 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:11:26 +0000 alayaya 413805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents keep trying to give me my stuff every time I go there to visit, but we have no room right now. When I get pregnant I plan to go through all my stuff and see if I can't find some of my favorites to take though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413629 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 17:23:00 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 413629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are kind of excited about some of the stuff.

We were recently given his baby clothes and a few toys. I think that plan is for us to get the stuff as our LO is ready for it. My mom gave me the 2-3 boxes of stuff she had from me growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413603 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 17:12:53 +0000 DillonLion 413603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom said I could either take stuff or she was trashing it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413599 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 17:11:23 +0000 Turd Ferguson 413599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our parents still have the majority of ours...which is fine as I don't know where we'd put it right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413548 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 16:33:20 +0000 MrsH 413548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kept it until I was settled and has slowly been giving it to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413529 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 16:15:18 +0000 boiledpnut 413529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has kept all of my stuff, but will give me whatever I want. DH's mom sends him the most random stuff. A couple of weeks ago, she sent him all his baby teeth. He's like-I don't want this stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413488 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:24:39 +0000 MamaBehr 413488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom was so happy to give me 90% of it! I actually really love that DD is playing with all my old baby dolls and stuff. Yet, my Mom kept a really good amount of baby toys, so that when we go over to her house she has toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413482 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:18:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 413482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They put it away in the attic and then when we bought our house my mom gave me my things. She kept some toys for future grandbabies and art work for sentimental reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413473 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:08:04 +0000 Mrs. Fix 413473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all of my stuff and DH's. We have gone through everything and consolidated so its just a couple totes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-give-you-your-childhood-stuff-or-keep-it#post-413468 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:01:20 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 413468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's parents called yesterday and said they had some boxes for us that were DH's childhood stuff. Boxes of books, toys, match box cars, star trek battle ships, stuffed animals, paper &amp; stuff he wrote in school. It took a load in their SUV and my car to get it all here. </p> <p>Did your parents keep your stuff or give it to you after you were grown and settled? </p> <p>My mom has kept most of mine. </p>
