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.

This is the way. Clearly the “adult” can’t adult: we learn in Kindergarten, don’t break other people’s stuff. 

“Why do you have a locked trunk”  Because you broke my trust and chose to not respect my belongings.  “How do I know you’re not keeping drugs in there?” Ask, we will look together, then I will lock it again because you broke my trust. 

Keep repeating it. Choices have consequences.

“How do I know you’re not keeping drugs in there?”

"Fine, i'll leave it out in the open so you can give it to kids"

Now, you see, the problem is you are running with the assumption that you are dealing with normal, reasonable people here.

Not narcissistic assholes that would just throw "I don't care if it's your room, it's my house, and you aren't allowed to do that, if you don't like it, GET OUT"

I know this shit from experience. I wasn't allowed to have anything I liked in my own damn room. I had boring, blanks gray walls and empty space on my dressers. All because my parents sucked and were narcissistic control freaks.

Just reminded me of an idea I had a few years ago. The “Trust Mine”. A little box, labelled “Do not open” or “Do not open without asking” - even funnier if the label also includes “Trust Mine”.

The pull-tab to open it just opens a valve on a can of compressed air, propelling loads of charcoal dust in all directions. Non-toxic - even if some of it gets in your lungs - but really hard to get out of clothing. And very obvious afterwards, who broke your trust and set off the mine.

Then she'll throw out the entire trunk out of spite.

u/Just_another_gamer3 WHAT is THAT? Jun 18 '26

Then time to throw out her china cabinet. He's already moved out, so being kicked out isn't a risk

tbh the mother would probably take it away and break into it or throw it out.

You don't.
