Tough Talk,
I have an aunt and she is just a peach. She always has something nice to say and brings me and the kids jams, jellies and anything else she comes across. She also is able to get clothing, medical supplies (think diapers and other objects), and incontinence devices that are for old and crippled people. She means well, but it’s really a nuisance taking it to the local drop-offs and donation sites. I don’t want to hurt her feelings TT, but it’s like she is dumping off stuff nobody else wants. What should I do? (Traders’ Grove, MT)
T-Grove,
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what you have to do. and be brutally honest. You tell her that you are sick of all the crap she’s dumping off and take it to a homeless shelter, police station or other place that “helps” disadvantaged people. You are not running a flea market or auction place for her daily pickings. This may seem harsh, but it’s the only solution. But if this isn’t for you, then I suggest you dump it off on her front lawn late at night or when she is out of the home. When she asks if you dumped it on her front lawn, you say you have no memory, but maybe you did. She will get the hint.
