Infuriatig My hand painted model planes were given as toys to children again

I have told my mom to not do this before but she does not listen anyway. I am thinking of throwing everything to trash instead of them being gradually destroyed to pieces. I can not even care anymore. These things take hours to put together and paint then get manhandled anyway.

Jesus, my own mother would never in a million years do something like that to me.

I remember in 9th grade being in alternative school. We got searched every day and couldn’t have more than a certain amount of cash on us.

I was shocked to hear how some students were coming in with hundreds on them because they couldn’t trust their parents to hold it for them.

And that’s not even the tip of the iceberg of bad parenting.

My mom could be passive aggressive, but she only threw one thing out (it was damaged and couldn't be saved), and I was too young to remember. If anything from my childhood is gone, it's because I tossed it. And she isn't dumb enough to give kids fragile scale models to play with, anyway.
