Imagine what these "kids" think of their mothers!

It's just a wee bit creepy for me...

I saw these ladies on Dr. Phil. They have parties and make the dolls and carry them around. So strange. It takes all kinds, I guess.

Okay, that's not just a wee bit creepy...

That's full-blown-back-away-very-slowly creepy.

No, the good part of motherhood is when they walk across the stage at commencement and get that college degree!

That's kind of sad... women who don't have children, who are pretending that their dolls are real babies?

Yep. But look on the bright side...their houses won't be two feet deep in cat poo like the cat lady houses are.

Well, you have a good point there!

Check out Reborn dolls on ebay. Some are quite good artist and sell these dolls for up to $2,000.

I'm sorry, this is beyond creepy - it's pathetic (although I am relieved about the cat-poo situation - good point!). Can these women find nothing better and more rewarding to do with their time and energy? You need a baby-fix? Go to a hospital and volunteer to hold the baby's in NICU. Foster a child. Volunteer at an elementary school - something.

I thought it was pretty creepy they way they took them shopping and out in public. At some point grown women need to stop playing with dolls.
