Ways to Get Rid of Things

So, I'm curious. Does anyone else here use their children as a way to get rid of things with less guilt? For example:

#1 Some one gives you (what they think is) a nice shirt that you will never wear, so you wear it on a day you know the kids will be painting. Now, you don't have to lie when they ask why you never wear it!

#2 You have some craft supplies you spent $$$ on, but really don't want to finish the craft--so you let the kids try to finish for you...giving them a wonderful chance to have some fun with "Mommy craft stuff" and then you can toss it without feeling bad that you tossed something.

#3 Realizing that combining #1&#2 accomplishes two things, therefore saving you time.

Like I said, I'm just curious...it doesn't mean I've DONE these things recently (though it might...). ;)
