okay...this is totally random....but I am considering this therapy:p! I went to a large baby store today, and they had fake babies! I am totally creeped out by this, and I am having a hard time getting this image out of my mind - of course I wasn't so traumatized that it stopped me from shopping:laugh:!
Thanks for letting me share my pain....

Omg, yes!! I actually had a real life encounter w/ one once! When my 6 y/o was a baby, we were visiting family in FL. We went to a park & I was pushing dd in her stroller; there was another mom nearby w/ her "baby" in the stroller & when I asked how many months is she, the woman said, "she's been in my life for 2yrs but she's 4 months old," Of course I was confused but then I realized she was one of those crazy doll ladies!!! It looked so real!
I hightailed it out of there & was nervous she'd try kidnap my dd!! I mean, it's sad & I do feel bad for women like her, but It was still one of the creepiest experiences of my life!

How creepy! That poor woman, though, trying to pretend a doll was a real baby. She was so far gone that it didn't even occur to her to be embarrassed to be out in public with a doll.

I got my 6 y/o daughter a fairly realistic looking baby doll when I had another baby. There was picture of us both holding our babies, and one of her friends asked which baby was older!

OMG!! I don't blame you for getting away from her! That would have freaked me out too because these women really are attached to those dolls. I have not met one in person thank goodness.

OK, how did we get from bags to babies??? So, of course I had to check this out. And did you see the price of the reused kid??? OMG. They could probably rent one for cheaper!!! They are cute but man it seems a bit short from the need for a therapy visit.

WTF happened to this poor keychain? Did some kid decide he needed a haircut or shave?
