How many trophies are enough? Chris Pratt needs to know. On Tuesday, the 44-year-old actor went on his Instagram account to share a series of photos featuring his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt holding trophies from her childhood.
Apparently, her mother, Maria Shriver, kept nearly every single trophy Katherine received in her formative years.
Pratt first gave a shout to Maria, writing…
Maria has been storing special items from Katherine’s childhood for years. Which is so very thoughtful. To see my darling wife beaming with sentiment as she opens these crates of meticulously organized keepsakes, remembering her cherished youth, makes me grateful for the efforts her folks put into archiving.
But then he wondered if it was normal, or even expected to keep all your kids’ trophies? He asked his followers for their thoughts…
But real talk… once your kid goes through the stuff, is it okay to toss? I mean… do we need the ‘I was on a sports team trophy?’ Can they be donated? Repurposed? How many do we gotta keep? Not all of them right? Any of them? Is there a grading scale? Like, did you win? Were you a champion? Is there a specific sentimental connection? Help me out here. Do they go back in storage?
I’m not sure if there is just one answer here. I think it all depends on the parents. If they want to keep the trophies and have the space, then what’s the harm? But also, it’s probably not a necessity to keep every single trophy. In fact, it could end up being a burden for your kids after you pass away. They might be like, “Great, now where am I gonna store all this stuff?”
What do you think? Keep every trophy?
