to buy myself a Disney princess doll

[scouserabroad]

Seeing as the DDs don't want one for Christmas?

DD1 (4 y o): I don't want a princess, I don't know what they're for

DD2 (3 y o): Noooo! I wanted a digger and a garbage truck!

I'm 28 years old, and I think I'd describe myself as a feminist, and deep down I know that they are overpriced plastic tat but but but... they're just gorgeous, and have lovely dresses and I just want one of these ?

AIBU?

There may be some dolls which are gorgeous but Disney princess dolls aren't.

Now if you were talking about wanting to buy yourself a plush tiger or whatever, that would be entirely different...

[Purplebuns]

I was trying to convince myself that I DD (almost 19months) needs a Mermaid Barbie that swims in the bath... :o
(I never got one when I was little :()

So YANBU however, if you had asked me two weeks ago I would have called you a loon

[belgo]

YABU.

There are far more gorgeous dolls then those!

[thequimreaper]

Purple buns don't bother. DD got one for her birthday and it doesn't swim - just kind of floats on its side!

[curlymama]

YANBU.

I made DH buy me a build a bear a couple of weeks ago.

[ShanahansRevenge]

YANBU...I love dolls but excuse myself from weirdness by only buying the odd vintage one...when I get more than 5 I sell them on Ebay...so it's not a "doll collection"

My DD 1 is only interested in drawing and maikng and DD2 wants a train set and a tool kit for christmas.

[FindingMyMojo]

I am the opposite DD would love one & I'm being mean Mummy and steering her towards anything but a bloody princess doll - puke!

[chipmonkey]

LOL! I thought Iwas missimg out on this stuff by having boys but clearly sometimes you can miss out even with girls!

btw,scouser, your dd's sound brilliant! Litlle feminists in the making.

[FindingMyMojo]

well she'd love one if she knew they existed (evil Mum plots to keep all princess/barbie etc advertising away from DD for as long as bloody possible)

[SpotSplatterSplash]

YANBU

OR you could do what I do and buy them and force them on my DD (21 months at Christmas) as presents.

She would definitely rather have her older brother's cars. I figure she has the best of both worlds!

[fluffywhitekittens]

Come and play here with dds :)
I was going to avoid all Disney Princess but last year decided they were a better option than the evil that is Barbie, this year, in our Princess and Barbie filled house, at least it's not Bratz (fsmile)

[SpotSplatterSplash]

I think I must have been inadequately ingrained with pink or something.

I always wanted to not give in to the disney, dolls and pink stuff, but it calls to me after having a very 'boyish' DS and three nephews.

[scouserabroad]

Hmm, seems that IANBU I know I am really!

Chipmonkey your're right, my DDs are brilliant

[stretchmummy]

i just bunged Snow White and Cinderella in the charity bag if anybody wants them.

[Simbacatlives]

Are you in debt?

If not spend your money on what you want



But disney dolls are tat and the heads fall off

[Honeydragon]

DD is getting a stella doll for her first birthday .... if she is good I will let her play with it, even ds thinks its cute, and have wanted to get one for aaaaaaages.

[TheBolter]

I wasn't allowed Barbie when I was growing up so I practically gorged myself on them as soon as dd1 was old enough, in the mistaken belief that they were for dd1.

She is now completely indifferent to them .

[CoteDAzur]

YABU. Act your age, woman

[SpotSplatterSplash]

Hmmm, Stella is v v cute......

[Hulababy]

I am sure DD loves her Sylvanian Families toys lots - but I do wish she'd stop messing up the rooms int he houses after I have spent half an afternoon sorting them to make them look nice

[woopsidaisy]

I say get it! I have been hankering after one of [[http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-VINTAGE-G1-MY-LITTLE-PONY-BOW-TIE-SNOWFLAKE-CHERRIES-/350416862344?pt=UK_Toys_Creative_Educational_RL&hash=item519678fc88 these] for years. Don't know why,perhaps because I really wanted one when little. Would love to brush their hair/manes and stuff...
And think of the fun you could have dressing her up! Sigh....

[SpotSplatterSplash]

Hulababy, I would be like that (poor DD). DS actually has more interest in playing with the dolls than she does.

My Mum bougtt DD a MLP, it does bring back memories. They have giant ones now.

[YuleBeLucky]

They are minging! Although I'm glad to see that after 75 odd years, Disney have finally got a black princess.

She comes with a proper squidgy belly button, nappy and little proper toes and fingers too, I have inspected purely due to research on dd's part ....honest. (ahem).
