I want a reborn doll !

[droves]

My kids are now all at school , and im going slightly (more than usual )bonkers !

So i want one of those dolls .Ideally i would get one that "matched" my children in colouring ... blonde blue eyed little cherub like darlings.

DH thinks ive went mad .
DD2 IS ROLLING HER EYES
Dd3 says just borrow one of dd4`s dollys and play with that.
The boys want to know if im getting a doll , can they get a new toy too.
DD1 thinks ive lost the plot and is looking very scared ...(she due pfb in dec )

should i get one?

Bleurrggghhhhh.
I'd rather have a dog. A real one

The first doll of the gallery on the website looks identical to my DD2 when she was a few days old. Scary. I think I'd rather look at her photo than have her newborness immortalised in 3D.

Grown ups should not be buying dolls. There are plenty of other ways to fill the 'need to nurture' gap with living things - animals or other people's children.

I am a collector,of reborns,im proud of them.i am aware of the stigma alomg with yhem,but as any hobby that is collected its to each is own.they are theroputic for elderly with dimentia,alzheimerz,also social developement,and can be relaxing to hold .i do know and treat them carefully,but as whay they are a doll.i know there habe been videos of gals who o feel have crossed the line by talking,treating them as real children waisting real formula that can be fed to a hungry baby,and throw away diapers after change its a illusion not real.but I do defend that its what we wish to do with we arent harming no one and if your not in our shoes and walking in our life dnt assume much.its still going to go on evenbthough you dnt want it to...i absolutely respect opinions,not insults or vulgarity.we can agree to disagree.thankyou.blessings to all

Zombie spammy bollox.
A small but insane prt of me quite fancies a fake baby though.

They look like babies in the photos, but in reality they would surely be very strange with no movement.

Find a voluntary job.

If this is not a wind up, and you are actually for real, then you need some serious therepy.

Pah, just noticed this is an old thread. Op, i hope the sessions are going well.

You need to watch that programme that was on a while back. Grown women taking their dolls out for a walk in a pushchair and pretending it was real when people stopped to coo over the baby.
It was really weird, and creepy. Far too realistic. Although asleep. Alllll the time.

Just noticed it's an old thread. Oops. Hope OP didn't get one!

you are getting a real life actual grandchild

Our local hospital has a volunteer baby cuddler program where long term infant patients are held, rocked and given loving attention which aids in their recovery. Have you consider volunteering for a program like that?

They look like dead babies.
I quite like the monkey though!

In the last few years my class (year 5) seem to have them. I like seeing them playing with dolls rather than ignoring each other on electronics but to start with they did creep me out! I think it is because they weigh the same as a baby and when you pick them up you feel compelled to hold then in the same way. Some also have heartbeats and a moving chest with it, or their feet move when you tickle them, that scared me!

I collect the reborn dolls they are great in fact my 2year old got one for her 2nd birthday she loved it

Its just a doll not robotic one but the ones that move are interesting but a bit too expensive for me

no

and you bumped a year old zombie thread to share - how nice

I love a random zombie reanimation!

It is appropriate, the reborn things look like zombie babies.

i have one i can only cross this out i got it between dd3 and ds, dh drew the line at co-sleeping dd3 has ransacked her, she is naked and has a biro face

Obviously i'm not ashamed

Ugh, those things are the stuff of nightmares.

Here you go OP, fill yer boots:
