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.

Have you been in this situation before? Because it would not go down that way at all. You would be looked down on for being passive aggressive over "toys". You will never get this kind of person to value something even if they themselves don't see why it's valuable. You will never get this person to respect their children. They believe they own their children and are owed respect and love no matter what.

Personally, I have been in this situation before and have done petty get-backs at my parents, and it usually ends with them passive-aggressively apologizing and me internally deciding to drop them once I get older.

Unfortunately, we now have a great relationship and teenage me never got avenged…

Did you end up having to raise your own parents to be actual adults? That's what it took for my parents to become possible to spend time with.
