Yous guys are right, but i am sort of stuck with it all. I have inherited everyone's china and glass, i suppose because i love it. I have my great-grandmother's pink rose depression glass, my Granny's china and antique serving set from antebellum times, my mother's golden rose depression glass collection, milkware from the 30's, and my own wedding china. I use it often, but not every day. My china cabinet is so full that you can't actually see the pretty dishes, but just piles of dishes.
There is really no one left of our family except my sister and me. And she ruined all of hers and the giant antique cabinet it was in when she burned down her house. We plan to move to a smaller place on the beach in about 2 years, so i have been de-cluttering lately.
The china cabinet is a hand-painted antique that i've loved for my whole life, so i will be keeping it. But all of those dishes are going to have to go. I certainly dread trying to find a buyer to take them to good homes.
