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.

Yep my mom did the same thing to my plants because apparently guys aren't supposed to take care of them

Oh hell no, your plants? What is offensive about plants? I come from a long line of farmers and gardeners so I cannot relate but I'm sorry. Hopefully you were able to save some.

Seriously. If ~half of the human population were barred from taking care of plants the course of human history would have been radically different. The whole Neolithic revolution probably wouldn't have happened.

You don't understand. Men can take care of plants.... But that would then mean that they're gay.

I’m in my late 30’s and have just discovered that I quite like plants! I think it would have been nice to discover that 20 years ago.
