Today, I finally gave away all of the stuffed animals that I've been hoarding for years. Proud, I told my family. They congratulated me by buying me stuffed animals. FML

Today, my dog showed me her latest kill. Too bad it was the stuffed animals my dead grandmother had given me as a child that had a lot of sentimental value to me. FML

Today, while at Six Flags my boyfriend won a huge stuffed animal for me. After a whole day of carrying it around, when he dropped me off he told me that he wants the stuffed animal back. He just didn't want to carry it around all day. FML

Today, I got married. I received a beautifully wrapped gift from my dad. I was full of excitement until I opened it and found two taxidermied rabbits. The ones I had when I was in the fifth grade. FML

Today, a tarantula joined my stuffed animal collection in its drawer. It, unfortunately, wasn't stuffed. FML

Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML

Today, my daughter had a meltdown when I told her I donated some of her old toys to Goodwill. It turns out Toy Story has taught her that toys have feelings and that she has a meaningful relationship with them. She's in her teens. FML

Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML

Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML

Today, my ex-boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous, giant stuffed tiger as a belated birthday gift. I thought it was a lovely gesture until a friend told me she had thrown it in the dumpster behind our building this morning. FML

Today, I met my new roommate. I also met her stuffed animals, who introduced themselves to me. My roommate makes inanimate objects talk. FML

Keep them if they have sentimental value. I kept mine and I'm a guy.

Maybe they wanted you to keep it?

Or maybe it was just because they thought it'd be funny?

Or maybe OP's family are spies who have to protect her from immediate and immense danger. In the stuffed animals are cameras, allowing the family to keep a close and careful watch on her

Maybe they were testing her to see how committed she was to being animal- free

Even if they didn't, it's just so hard to throw away a perfectly good cute & fluffy teddy bear holding a fuzzy heart that says "I love you". Something about them just makes them hard to get rid of. If it would make you any easier, you could take them to kids in hospitals or at a orphanage. They wouldn't be going to waste & you'll be making a sad little boy or girl very happy. :)

I have 2 that I like to hug when I'm depressed which is often. It makes everything a little better.

I still have the first two stuffed toys I've had since I was a day old. I'm 19 and still call them by the names I gave them, Pengy and Poley. You can guess what they are.

I still have mine, because they're from friends from when i moved, and one with the England crest named rooney from my grandparents from when i had an operation when I was little.
