@MyWoolyMastadon @Cbfoley @falcennial @econads @CodieneC @daviddlevine @Lynnd We have fine china bc my mother-in-law insisted we choose a pattern, bc ‘everyone should have it’ (grew up quite poor). Usually gets used just a couple times a year, but I think maybe we’ll start using it for Sundays even when we’re just have soup and grilled cheese. Will make for fun variety, and will make me less salty about the cupboard dedicated to storing them. 5 comments

@MyWoolyMastadon @DavidM_yeg @Cbfoley @falcennial @econads @CodieneC @daviddlevine and because of that, so many people stopped using them altogether, and they just sat in the fancy china cabinet unused and unloved as a status symbol of a bygone era. I go my mother’s and my aunt’s china and crystal, and I am using it all, and enjoying it. If it gets broken, oh well, one less thing for my executors to deal with 🤷♂️

@CodieneC @Lynnd @DavidM_yeg @Cbfoley @falcennial @econads @daviddlevine Excellent view to take! Enjoy them. In a thousand years who cares what you did with them.

In the wedding industry there are many traditions that I'm happy to see go. Expensive seldom used fine place settings were always a silly expense. My mom had to pick out a place setting and ask for it at her wedding. Things she did not get she was expected to go out and buy herself. The sets were only used at major holidays. They required hand washing, could never go into a microwave & caused anguish when chipped.
