Dear Queenie,
My adult daughter, who is soon to be married, still has a roomful of stuff stored in our house, but now my husband and I are planning to move into a smaller house and we won’t have room for all of her things. We asked her to take it all off our hands but up to now she hasn’t done it.
Queenie, should we rent a storage unit and have them send her the bill or should we just pack up all her stuff and dump it on her doorstep?—Fed-up mother
Dear Mother,
Give your daughter a deadline by which all her stuff must be out of your house and tell her that if she does not meet that deadline, you will dispose of it however you can.
If it comes to the latter, I would suggest donating anything worthwhile to whatever charitable organisation can make good use of it, and just dumping out whatever they do not take.
