So do a lot of teenagers, cazzz. Maybe they should give them these things instead of those educational ones, which are apparently just noisy 'tiny tears' type things.
Of course they would have to install poo machines, vomit pipes and a wail that would turn your hair white.
I'm with Pippa on this one, just watched the programme and I didn't see anything wrong or infact "dangerous" about these woman at all. The grandmother I found to be terribly sad and lonely, sh misses her grandson. If this is their way of helping to alleviate that loneliness I don't see anything wrong with it.
As for the woman who spent over �200 on clothes for her "baby"- why not? It's her money to do what she wants with isn't it?
Men collect model cars and trains- no one calls them dangerous do they?
I am sure people spend far more on 'real' baby clothes too.
It's their money and their lives, it isn't up to anyone else to say what they can and can't spend their money on. The amount of money spent on real children is quite often obscene...
I agree about the emergency services, that's what i thought too, it would be wrong to carry the pretence through to reality in a crisis, it is whether these women actually have a grasp on reality that matters
no they normally get told to grow up, as grown women they can have whatever hobby they like as long as it doesnt hurt anyone. or become obsessive to a point where it can become destructful to a relationship.
Know what ya mean and a tiny part of ya does think "ya silly bloody sod" or words to that effect when you see their collections. I just think it's wrong to call these woman dangerous and to suggest that they may be a danger to real babies and children.
I think the car crash thing may be valid..however there have probably been plenty of times when a baby doll has been discovered in a wreckage and been mistaken for a real baby.
I don't think it is exclusive to reborns ~ family vehicles with young kids and their dolls resent the same hazard.
A mate of mine caused a scene as she carried a tailors dummy around with her at all times. After a car crash it was feared her passenger had not only been thrown out of the car ~ they had lost both legs.
