Dd2 is turning 5 at Christmas and keeps asking for the barbie dream house. I've told her it's too big and expensive which is true (the bigness, we could stretch the budget) but also although when she plays with her barbies (she has a few of the sets which involve babies and accessories) she seems to really enjoy playing, she doesn't actually play with them all that much.

Do you think the smaller barbie malibu house could be a compromise? Or is it really rubbish compared to the big dream houses.

Dd1 was adamant a few years ago that she wanted the barbie plane, its been plated with a handful of times and mainly with beanie babies so I guess I'm sceptical about buying big barbie merchandise

If the dream house is too big for the space you have then you need to stop comparing it to the Malibu house.

Thats like saying “I’d really like that 9 bedroom mansion that is totally unrealistic for me to get; but will it be as good at the 4 bedroom house that we can comfortably get?”

Get the Malibu house, it’s Barbie, it’s a new toy, it’s Christmas… she will love it.

My kids were banging on about the barbie dream house for years and were told absolutely not because of the cost. Last year we got them the Malibu house and they didn’t even realise it wasn’t the big dream house!
