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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Keep them! Whatever is left over can be loved and enjoyed again by grandkids. My parents have a huge toy box full of old toys. All my nieces and nephews go straight for it when they visit grandma and grandpa.

Rude. I'm sure you'd have a meltdown if she donated your old stuff.

You raised a fool.

Didn't you ever have a toy or some object that you felt an attachment to as a kid, or even when you were older? Toys can have a huge amount of sentimental value to someone no matter how old they are because it was a big part of their childhood. OP's daughter isn't a fool for that. Her mother just removed a big chunk of her early life without even asking. Now that's foolish.

Toys have sentimental value, a lot if inanimate objects do. Im 20 years old and I still get upset that i lost a stuffed animal when i was 11, and I had it since I was a baby. You should have asked her first.

I'm 24 yrs old and the only thing I kept from my childhood were my first teddy bear and an Alaskan blanket my mom gave me when I was a baby. Though I agree with op and the teenager. That's when talking to your child and coming up with an agreement is the best choice.

this makes me respect my parents even more! At least they have the common courtesy of asking! I still have a few toys of my childhood and I'm in my twenties. IT's all about the memories!!
