Those who plan on having kids one day, do you ever feel pressure from others to discard quality or keep items that you are supposed to pass down to them?

My husband and I are currently going through a big minimalism process and have been thinking about our future. We both know that we want to have kids someday, but are currently in school and trying to set up our lives before that happens. We are still pretty young but have already gotten comments from family about how we should keep things like our good China because it is pretty or nice and should be passed down to our future kids. We also have had similar pressures about items that we inherited from grandparents. We know it is still years away but do you think we should keep it? For us, it feels like clutter because we don’t have the space for it and it won’t be used in the near future, but the thought of maybe passing it down does feel nice. What should we do with it? We don’t want to hurt family feelings but we also don’t know when we will be able to use it, if we ever do.
