My mom used to have a whole wall full of Hummel figurines that my dad gave her for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, whatever good thing date, etc., etc. There were hundreds of them. It was my job to dust them. I hated it. When my mom passed, I refused to have anything to do with them (the figurines.) My sister was very happy. She did not have the history. Woe to the girl who placed them back in the wrong place.
When I married, I vowed I would not have any such thing to punish my children with. I do not dust unless I can see that it is real bad. Don't like that? Don't visit. My house is clean and neat but dusty. For some reason I don't have an aversion to vacuuming. Go figure.

I am dusting adverse! I hate it ! It makes me crazy to look at it but , crazier to try to eliminate it. I don't remember this much dust as a child... but I think I had lots of other fun stuff to consume my brain.
Do what you want , and let it go!

I know a single guy, that says his dust is his furniture proctector. The more dust on it, the less people want to touch it, the less chances of scratches. When time to replace....clean it up and it looks brand new again. It also fades less covered in dust he says. Guys have the answer I guess lol
