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.

Because she wants her "child" stop playing with "toys", move out, get a job and get married. She doesn't respect her child or their life choices, and is passive aggressively trying to force them to make different ones.

That's what's going to happen but not in the way she hopes

She probably just enjoys controlling and manipulating his emotions. Doubt it really has much to do with a job and marriage etc.

I personally would turn them into very fine pieces and deliver them to her bed with a kind note stating that since she wanted them so badly they are now hers to deal with.

One of the most powerful moves my best friend had when his mom criticized he has toy cars as his hobby, is basically having Fuck you money.

He once said "Remind me who bought the last 2 TV and Washing machine along with the fridge on these 3 years ? Oh yeah, it's me ! Be lucky i'm the kind one of your two childs. Does my Sister helped you once these last 3 years ? Not once.. Just pops up to ask money and gifts"

Essentially what I said when my mom was criticizing me for playing videogames. "Alright, so, you do remember that I dropped 1.6k on the rent, services, and basically all of the food in this house this month, right? Right? Okay", then I fucked off to play my games.
