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

Toys are memories. You should have at least talked to her about it first.

That is such a sad movie! It's obvious that she has attachments. Maybe you should spend some time with her more regularly so she can form human bonds.

On the bright side some other kid will enjoy playing with Buzz Lightyear.

Just like that little girl at the end of Toy Story 3.

That's the work of Disney's evil subliminal messages.

Nothing subliminal about that message.

Exactly, I'd be mad at my mother too. I still have all my stuffed animals and dolls from when I was a child. It brings back memories!

Exactly! Wonder how OP would have felt if the daughter decided to do a little house cleaning & just donated or threw out some OPs stuff without asking. Even if the kids reaction was over the top, OP was thoughtless and rude.

Who doesn't have an emotional connection to the toys from their childhood?

At least she's not flushing people's pet fish down the toilet to "freedom".

I know a guy who told his girlfriend there was no Santa Clause and she burst into tears. They were in high school at the time.

What the hell do you mean Santa Clause isn't real? * starts sniffling and tearing up*.

Well, there used to be. His name was Nicholas and he used to give children toys at Christmas. The Catholic church later sainted him as Saint Nicholas. He's dead now. Feel better?

I found out that my grandmother was Santa Clause all this time. Now, to this day, my wish list is to "Nana-Clause." (:

She may be your kid, but... they're HERS to decide what to do with, not yours. YDI.

Those childhood toys were her personal possessions which she obviously attached sentimental value to. How would you like it if someone wordlessly donated your wedding dress?

or, like in my family, they were just toys around the house that we all played with and none of us now do. per chance they weren't her personal possessions

55- there's a difference between toys you just three around and the stuffed animals that had sentimental value. I threw my toys around but never dared do that to my stuffed animals because it would hurt their feelings. I sympathise with the daughter. I have stuffed animals that I would tuck into bed with me, and they took up most of the space on the bed. I have most of them still in my closet put away so I can look at them when I want to experience nostalgia. But I actually gave a great deal away to a foster house and orphanage because I wanted the kids to have friends. Toy Story 3 hit home to me because Andy did the exact same thing; he wanted his toys to bring other kids happiness.

I can't bring myself to throw anything away, because then I will feel guilty.
