    Tell people you're taking them to the charity shop but store them in your shed so that you have more fuel for the next fire you have in the garden.

    That's what any sane person would do.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    Well, when I was a kid my dad would routinely have a clearout of my toy box and give my toys to children in the street we lived on, guilt tripping me with the virtues of generosity.

    When he's old and infirm and I can finally run faster than him (the day will come) I am going to give away his fishing gear to the newly retired .

    Indeed met a guy who put his daughters barbi stuff in an oven, let it melt halfway. Looked yummier than it was.

    So you think parents should keep ALL toys of their kids until they are old enough to decide what to do with them on ebay?

    Wrong on two accounts.
    1. cocaine
    2. He (50%) lined them up. (it's his new thing, after seeing "cars" movie where they all line up to race.) They are his fav toys, only cars. Its the stuffed toys section which need an alternate function.

    Plus the little baby stuff.

    Keep em in the attic for the grand-kids.

    In the mean time you could give em to someone else's kids that you like to play with until they grow out of them.
    Now go away.

    I had a good collection of airfix models and model armies - never did find out what happened to them

    Mum was a bit mental though - in fact still is ... got a text from her today "your friend Sparks' name was ()" I was like "Yeah why"?
