A letter parents should send to their twentysomething or even 30 year old kids
I recently did a condo/townhouse showing Lexington MA, when I showed them the basement, they were excited, “Finally,” they said, “This is large enough that we can tell Billy, to move his sporting equipment out of our garage.”
Young adults, when they finally move-out of their parents home for their first apartment or condo, always leave items behind for mom and dad to store. Hey, I even did it back when I was in my twenties, and most of the items are still at my parents house decades later. No, I’m going to tell you how many decades.

We want to tell you that we are very tired of the boxes and storage bins in the basement and the bike, sports equipment, and rollerblades in the garage. We understand that you also regret having purchased that tacky piece of furniture that you bought when you were finally accepted to Bunker Hill college but left it stored in the basement We hate it too, and yes you’re always welcome to move back, even though we had the locks changed and we know the secret about the…
