This does not spark joy

My mom threw away a bunch of my toys when I was a kid. When I found out, it legitimately took me months to fully forgive her for it. It was a betrayal. Especially with as active as my imagination was. Those toys had meaning for me. It was like threw my friends away. Fuck that.

How many hotwheels does one fucking child need? Im literally surveying all this stuff to see how soon and how many I can sneak in the garbage 

 

Before chucking any hot wheels, you might want to check out some of the prices rare ones go for.  https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g25616442/rarest-most-valuable-mattel-hot-wheels/

Hint: they sometimes become rare because lots of Moms toss them out.

Keep the little shits off the floor if you really care about them. If I give you fair warning Im sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, shampooing the carpet and ask you to get your toys up and you leave them down. Trash.

No offense, but I find that to be shitty.

That's a nice excuse for bad parenting you have there.

.... throwing away literal dollar toys when you have several more and cleaning the house? Okay. Dont know the extent of your childhood trauma but a couple of hotwheels isnt going to ruin a childhood. Im not sure where you think old toys go.

maybe what he really needed for chrimas was a big ol bucket to throw his hot wheels in

^

Rubbermaid container with either flames or lightening bolts on it to make it go faster.

Tell the kid that all the hotwheels that go in the fast bucket get faster but only if they stay in there between play times.

He has a chest just for hotwheels. Like I dont know how y'all are imagining this going down XD 

Its not like im sitting him down in the floor and making him watch me throw them into a fire

Naw, I knew you were just having a Mom Moment. :D:D:D 

At least it wasn't caused by stepping on a Lego. :D

I guess for some of us, toy loss was a very real thing and we didn't even do anything to warrant it so it can cause us a titch of PTSD when it comes up even in joke. Especially around this time of year. -.-;

I'm sorry some members have some childhood trauma to unpack but projecting their shitty parents onto me or assuming they know anything about my life or my child's life/happiness is unfair.

No parent is rainbows and unicorns farts all the time, but feel free to ride in on high horses and judge me as a parent for venting on the internet as several of you struggle with concerning mental health issues and life struggles of your own

Some of you should consider seeing a therapist/social worker/psychologist/psychiatrist/somebody that can help you process some of your trauma and take some accountability for allowing that trauma to have such control over you as adults.

Man, you talking to non-parents and pat is brand new.  The whole point of parenting is to prepare these ignorant little masses of flesh we created for the world they will face as they grow.

One of the most impotant things to teach is that your actions, or lack thereof in this case, have consequences.  These same mfers will call you wrong when your unpunished snowflake fucks around and does something heinous and didnt realize it was that bad because he had no concept of consequence.

In short, kudos to your approach...you may have just saved your black male child a trip to the morgue because you taught him that you can't just do wtf you want.

I want that mug. Filled with coffees. ALL THE COFFEES!

It's not your fault. You ain't the mommy of those traumatized on here after all. Skiles may have pushed a button with his comment but it's about on the same par of frustration as yours is with the never-ending matchboxes [ they breed like bunnies...I'm surprised I haven't found any in the mystery closet from left behinds from littles ] . Yours is the frustration of a mom who is attempting to bring order to the chaos that is having a little kid that doesn't always pick up their toys. Skiles [ and mine to a varying degree ] is the frustration of the kid that's had their toys just disappear or yes, literally set fire to in front of them [ yep, that's exactly where my stuff would go - burn barrel. Just my things though, my siblings were exempt ] . It's just two sides of the exact same coin. My comment about a decorative tote to encourage clean-up was just a general comment for anyone reading and not necessarily directed 100% at you and only you. Like Pat who is now about 24 months away from stepping on a LEGO in the middle of the night.  :D

In a semi-serious reply there aren't any specific groups for toy-loss trauma. The closest thing is maybe Adult Children of Hoarders but we've got a lot of baggage to unpack. There is one for people who have lost loved ones to Fox News though. Thanks Google. :D I should just google support groups for really weird things whenever I'm feeling depressed.
