I totally agree with this. Collecting these dolls is a bit like collecting stamps, or teddies or whatever (I am not a collector of anything) but these fake dolls are treated like real babies The women had car seats, prams, designer clothes etc etc. I found it very strange. It may be harmless to the rest of us, but I think the women who feel the need to treat dolls as real children need some kind of help. Surely they must have some kind of mental health issue going on?

Totally agree Dani.

I hate to say it, but those fake babies just look dead to me

i guess thats easy to say when you have the real thing though isn;t it

but thats what i mean tho - its nothing like a "real" baby as the living isnt actually there is it ?

beleive me i know what its like to want a baby after 3 miscarriages before luca i do understand that longing but those dolls are not the answer as they just are not real enough if you know what i mean.

perhaps they are the answer to those ...we don;t know i can only guess when i lost my son i would have gone crazy if someone told me that was it no babies ever i was lucky enough to be able to have more


i just feel its up to the individual and think its wrong to call some one bonkers and crazy just because we wouldn't do it

live and let live i say again

At one point in the programme when asked by his wife what he thought of her new little one, the husband replied that 'it reminded him of something on a mortuary slab '. Looking at the dolls faces so human-like but at the same time lifeless I have to say the same thought occurred to me {{shudder}}

Me too Mini, they gave me the creeps....but i'm not a 'doll' person!
