A mother asks Dear Abby when it is the right time to give her daughter a memento such as her baby book.
Some parents give their children these mementos when they are downsizing their homes. Others offer it to them once they marry, settle down or prove they are responsible enough that it won’t be lost. Of course, before bestowing such a gift, it would be prudent to ASK if it would be welcomed.
