Of course, every family situation is different. The photos I was talking about are pictures of my fathers high school friends buddies from Navy days etc. I knew who many of them were and in some cases met them but honestly retaining them meant little to me, just like similar pictures I have from my youth would mean to my son. It is all about removing the guilt of throwing away things that might have meant a lot to your parents but honestly has very limited meeting to you and no value to your children.

I have a small box with my fathers and grandfather wrist watches in them but I know my son has absolutely no interest in them or almost anything else I own. I am honestly very surprised how un-nostalgic my 40 something ur old son is. Of course he might change as he grows older but I am really not that sure.
