Poll: Is it normal for a mother to still be holding on to her child's toys for memories?
My husband will be 30 this year and his mother still has his tricycle and many of his toys from when he was a baby and a small child. She also still has some of his clothing. She still has his bronzed baby shoes on display in the living room, and she even has a lock of his hair (from when he was a toddler) saved in a baggie. I think this is so weird. I could see maybe one or two things, but why would she still be holding on to all this?

I would say it's considered normal because it happens pretty often.
I personally don't consider it positive behavior because it's a sign that she isn't letting go and therefore not evolving herself. Plus, she is basing her identity on being a mother and guardian when one isn't necessary. A shrine is for morning a loss, children just grow up.

Its very normal and quite common, I have saved art work and stories my daughter has done in kindergarten. Children are a moms greatest gifts in life and just looking at those baby items can bring the best memories of our life back.
