A millennial mom’s video about her boomer parents has sparked a viral conversation about what many are calling a “generational tradition”—bringing literal carloads of stuff into their adult children’s homes, whether they like it or not.

Rose Grady, 34, from Central Ohio, shared a viral TikTok video that’s racked up over 3 million views. The clip shows her peering out the window as her parents arrive, with bags in tow and “treasures” galore.

The overlay text read: “Just a millennial mom watching her boomer parents bring three full loads of ‘treasures’ into her home.”

In the video, Grady’s parents were unloading multiple bags and items from their car, a sight many millennials said is all too familiar.

Grady and her friend Maddy share their TikTok account where they post humorous videos about their lives and families.

“The moment my parents arrived to visit my family this past weekend, rolled down the window and yelled out they had a full trunk to unload, I thought of this TikTok idea to share. Whenever there is a visit with my parents, we always have new ‘treasures’ to unpack,” Grady told Newsweek.

Among those treasures? Childhood clothes, nostalgic keepsakes, and plenty of “just in case” items.

“My mom kept chests full of my old clothes from infancy and childhood. Some of the dresses are absolutely beautiful—dresses from the ’90s were made differently than they are now. I do love dressing my daughter in some of my old outfits,” she said.

As well as old treasures, her parents also love to find a deal, often arriving with new sale discoveries for the kids. “As a millennial, our generation is caught between the thrill of deal hunting and thrifting and also keeping a tidy, somewhat minimalist home,” Gray explained. “There’s definitely a balance though on passing down sentimental items and general clothing/toy gifts and when the ‘treasures’ become excessive.”

That balance—or the lack thereof—was something many could relate to, and in the comments people started sharing their own similar stories.

“My MIL literally brought five totes of my husband’s dry rotted baby clothes to my house,” one commenter shared. “I told her there was no way in hell my baby was wearing those and wouldn’t even let her bring them in,” said one viewer.

While another said: “My mom brought over pics of every single dress I tried on for my wedding 20 years ago that she printed from her computer on 8.5×11 paper. Like that’s trash, mom.”

“My mother-in-law brings massive amounts of expired food. Expired by YEARS,” said another.

Grady even posted a follow-up video where she “unboxed” some of the items her mom delivered, including a 2012 holiday Build-a-Bear and a basket of snowflake wands from a neighbor’s daughter’s wedding.

While the laughter was plenty, Grady acknowledged that not everyone took the video as lightheartedly.

“For the most part, I feel like the reactions to the TikTok have been positive—it seems many from the Gen X, millennial, and Gen Z generations can relate on some level,” she said. “I did notice the comments from what I assumed came from those in the older Gen X generation and baby boomer generation, and I could sense a tone of hurt in their comments.”

“What I’d like to say to them is that we absolutely do love some of the sentimental items. They are meaningful to us and we recognize how much love you have for your children that you chose to hold onto those special items,” she said. “It is again about that balance. We love to see a worksheet or two from elementary school with our child handwriting on it. But we may not appreciate a whole tub with everything we ever made in kindergarten or every one of our childhood teeth kept in an old contact lens case (both examples are actual cases for me).”
