Three years ago we gave up our Home and moved into a Small apartment. We sold Many items we use and gave much of what was left to Bur daughter �?ogayle.�?�. 1 inherited Many Beautiful things from my Mother a her jewelry China stemware and linens. My Mother and i had an understanding that these family heirlooms eventually would be passed along to my daughter. Gayle is aware of the commitment because she heard grandma talk about it and she expects to get these things. Now i find i cannot in Good conscience bring myself to give anything More to Gayle. She is 45, irresponsible and unappreciative and her life is totally chaotic. Her House is cluttered and downright dirty. A never ending Stream of scruffy looking characters wanders in and out. Some of them have moved in and stayed for weeks. These people she has befriended have stolen Money and jewelry. Ann Landers eve last by time it happens Gayle is totally surprised. Frankly i doubt that my mothers possessions would it another generation if i gave them to Gayle. I would much rather give my mothers things to my Niece a Lenore a who is a responsible woman. She would Delight in owning anything that belonged to her grandmother. My husband says i cannot do this because Gayle has been promised these items. He thinks it will cause friction Between her and Lenore. What do you think we should do Ann a Rock and a hard place dear Rock if there was a commitment a and it sounds to me As if there was a you must Honor your mothers wishes and give Gayle what was promised to her even though she is a Slob. A. To go against your mothers wishes and take it upon yourself to give the Lovely pieces to Lenore could create lifelong problems Between the cousins. If you could tactfully suggest to Gayle that she give Lenore a few Nice pieces it would be a most generous gesture and enhance the relationship. I recommend it.
