'Just accept the gift and say thank you': Entitled family split opinion after rudely refusing to inherit boomer mother-in-law's heirloom china

My grandma is what you might call a magpie. She has spent her entire life collecting things like jewelry, china, and antique furniture. As she's gotten older, she's been very clear that she intends to bequeath most of this to her kids and grandkids-even though she lives halfway across the world from some of them. Is every single item with my name on it directly engineered to my taste? No, but I'll still gratefully accept it when she passes. That stuff is good quality, and I wouldn't want to upset her anyway.

Apparently, my point of view isn't one that is shared by all. In fact, some feel the need to come on the internet and complain when their elderly relatives try to give them an inheritance that isn't in the form of property or cold, hard cash. When a Redditor went viral for trashing their mother-in-law's reaction to her family refusing to take her china sets, opinions were split. It isn't that hard to take some plates down to the thrift store when she's gone.
