Apparently his brother wants something of my husband's. He asked his sister to tell me. He hasn't called to see how his nieces are but he'll take something from them. As far as i'm concerned what ever belonged to their dad now belongs to them. It's not even 4 months yet. i haven't even went thru his stuff. I still have his cigs and beer and remote waiting for him,exactly where he left them. Are you kidding me--material crap!!!! Apparently he said he doesn't want me giving stuff away. Like i want to forget him or something. I'm pissed!!! His mom said all brothers and sisters should come over and get stuff. Excuse me this is my house!!! who the hell are you to say that? I'm not ready and you can;'t make me. My oldest can't even go in basement yet. I need help on how to handle this. I know they are grieving too.

Stick to your guns. These ppl, family or not, hurting or not, are being manipulative. You have the right to your boundaries - and the right to defend your boundaries.
When the time is right for you to decide what to do with these items, first talk it over with your children. After you, they should get next choice. Then, if you want to, you can tell the in-laws that you have certain items that they might like and ask if they are interested. Don't let them talk you into giving them anything you don't want to give them.
