A family member visited and complained about us having too few drinking glasses, the use by dates on my spices and other pantry items. The guest threw stuff away and replaced it and sent 24 new glasses to us, but we haven't enough cupboard space! What should we do?

It's harder when it's family. Try to look on the bright side -- you now have lots of fresh spices and new food. As for the glasses, keep as many as you want and give the rest to the charity store. You didn't ask for the glasses and they didn't ask if you wanted them. If they feel upset at their next visit, just shrug and say they were used and wore out over time. Most of all, try to laugh it all off -- undoubtedly this meddling family member was trying to help despite overstepping the mark completely but you don't need to keep carrying the baggage of negativity, just turn it into one of those family jokes.
