Unless your child is Oliver Twist, I think you mean 'workhorse,' not 'workhouse.'

@kingtiny: This is exactly why politics should not be discussed among company you don't know! I consider myself conservative, and you should know that not all of us are sexist/homophobic/evil.

My liberal, agnostic parents have the same 'us or them' ideas about political parties, and I had to 'come out' to them to get them to stop blindly blaming my corner of the belief system for the problems of the world.

At the end of the day, being contentious and making assumptions is what makes the dinner table uncomfortable, not the politics itself.

If it were my family, you'd be chastised for considering paint! Monetary value isn't as important, but someone in your family will probably cherish it as is. Surely there's a family history buff?
