And my husband, normally pretty chilled, was not a happy bunny. I reckon I'm about to get flamed by his friends etc. Perhaps naively I wasn't actually expecting it to provoke such feeling.

Your husband is being silly.

Boys play with dolls all the time - they are called Action Man.

Ds' dad had a problem when I bought him a doll. We are now getting divorced. Its not the reason but made me realise he was not the person I thought he was along with 3000 other things.

Apparently the worst bit was I got it for the village christmas party so he was given it by santa in front of everyone. And what would they think!?

I couldn't give a fuck what they think. And no-one has ever made a comment on it incidentally.

dont see any problem, its just a toy. ds1 got a doll for his 2nd birthday (was accident, he has unisex name) and it came with a little car seat and carry cot. Out of about 40 presents this was the one he loved most and carried it about with him for about year after. He is now 12 and is a typical boy teen, rough, cheeky, plays xbox. What does your dp think is going to happen

Tell him to get over himself (your DH, I mean).

You haven't given him a toy Uzi, or a crack cocaine chemistry set, it's a doll.

My nephew had a Barbie until he was 7. He loved it. He's now 15 and, as far as I know, his masculinity is undiminished.
