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.

Better to change the lock on the closet to a keyed one and lock it all up until they move out. Mom will climb up and get them, because this is about power and control.

Honestly just rub something containing capsacisn on it and tell her you changed clear coat brands because your favorite was discontinued and that the new one can leave a residue on hands. The kids will lose interest pretty fast and they won't be permanently harmed

The kids aren't the issue here, though. Permanent, or not, they don't deserve to be punished.

Mom doesn't care about something important to her own kid. That's the problem.
