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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 manager told me to throw out some of the old toys at the daycare we work at. I can't because I've seen Toy Story 3, and thinking about them in a dump makes me cry. I'm 28. FML
Today, my 8 year-old adopted daughter told me she wants me to take her back so another family can adopt her because I don't give her enough toys. FML
Today, I realized the reason my 20-year-old daughter has been so moody and aggressive is because she missed the promotional My Little Pony toys at McDonald's. FML
Today, my 8 year-old niece gave me back a Fluttershy plush I gifted her 4 years ago. When I told her it was a gift from the heart, she insisted on exchanging it for something of equal value. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I finally watched Toy Story 3; I ended up crying when the toys almost die. After the movie, my girlfriend broke up with me because I embarrassed her. FML
Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML
Today, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML
Today, I was watching TV when a Toy Story 3 commercial came on. My Mom said, "Oh, I remember when I took you to see Toy Story. Now Andy's all grown up and so are you. The only difference is Andy is going to college and you're not." FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter is so selfish that on her sister's birthday, she found the present, assumed it must be for her, opened it, then destroyed it when she saw it was frozen Anna and Elsa dolls because she hates Frozen. Her sister loves Frozen, and hasn’t stopped crying over Anna’s severed head. FML

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

So. My sister pulled that bs on me when I was in my early teens. Donated all my action figures and toys including my fav the original power ranger, Zach the black ranger, broken arms and all. I was mad for years about it too. Next time, Ask First. It's just common courtesy. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a kid, we're all growing up too fast these days anyway.

I would kill my parents if they did that to me, and I'm 26. I love all my toys and I'll admit i cried at the end of toy story e

Childhood toys are irreplaceable, I can understand her sadness toasted losing them, but thinking the toys have feelings is a bit much

Don't get me started on what I said to my mom when she donated my Real Doll to the Salvation Army!

Turns out it was a rough day for my mom. Besides the rebuke from me, she managed to get those nice people at the Salvation Army to drop the F-bomb on her.

Oh man I'd be upset too if my parents threw my old toys away and I'm in my twenties. But I've gotten rid of most of the ones I'm not attached to. Most of the ones I like moved out with me though.

Let's see her donate your no longer used jewelry to Goodwill, and you'll know how she feels

14 here, and I would be mad if my teddies got donated to the Goodwill down the street, though I certainly don't play with them anymore like when I did as a youngster. Not to say that parents are all to blame for this kind of thing, but OP should spend some time with her daughter instead of bitching about her here. On second thought, OP sounds very much like an asshole who's not very considerate of her own daughter's feelings. YDI.
