Some people paint themselves with tattoos or piercings. Some play video games. We love dolls.

Why can’t people just let us live? My babies help me cope with so much and I want to take them everywhere and I feel like I have I hide them. It’s awful. People go out with their pets and overpamper them all the time, these dolls do the same thing for us. People need to mind their business and respect others lives. I strive to have your confidence!

Best advice i have ever been given

"You do not have to explain yourself to anyone, what you do you do, long as it dont cause harm to yourself or anyone else"

That man wasn't a gentleman and that woman was really annoying!! I loved seeing you, your friends and your reborns having fun at the mall!! Thanks for sharing! Always love seeing sweet Riley!!

You guys are so fun I might actually get brave enough to bring one out in public if I had more friends like you guys! .... lol that lady thinking we all have these dolls because we don’t have kids? I have three biological children, four permanent foster children and have fostered 21 children in total (not at the same time! Lol) as well as I was a nanny before I had kids and did home daycare before I fostered.  I definitely do not have reborns because of a lack of real children in my life! I have them because I have a deep incredible love of babies and dolls and it’s so relaxing and fun!  We don’t have to explain ourselves to people that just only believe what they want to believe.

One time I brought my silicone out in public. We went to Walmart just minding our own business. Then this lady and her daughter who looked about 4-5 came up to me. And the mom said to me “honey that is not how you hold a baby you will hurt it.” And I’m like, oh no it’s fine it’s a doll. And she took my doll out of my hand and was walking around with it and was trying to look for my mom to give it to. Then I called over my mom and she said to the lady “why do you have my daughters doll?!” Then the lady was like, oh see your daughter was not holding your baby correctly so it took it so that it would not get hurt. And my mom and I said “ITS A DOLL!!” Then the lady gave me back my doll and said “awww how cute is that doll. Were did you buy it my daughter has been wanting one of those.” And I was like WHAT!!!!! If your daughter wants one then you should have known that mine is JUST A DOLL!!!!!! Uggggggggggg. Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

As a 90s child, (born in 1988) the phrase "girl power" totally makes me think of spice girls 💕

I've gotten comments from friends who call my baby a creepy doll, but for me he's more for the comforter because I have a problem with crouds others have no problem with me carrying him with me

One person thought I was handicapped, when they saw me out with one of my bears, a while ago. Then she turned to my Mum who was with me at the time, and said " It must be difficult looking after your handicapped daughter!" My Mum replied :"My daughter is normal, and this is her hobby!" The woman walked off, making a wierd face, as though she thought  I was brain damaged! : >O

I swear the amount of people in this hobby that have children out weighs the ones who dont by far! Its just a fun thing to do.

I think that the probing questions were in poor taste, very rude. But, calling out to complete strangers to come look at your doll...I would have shut her down on that. She was trying to validate her own opinion of you by involving other people to agree with her. You explained it very well, but she didn't like that answer. She then tried to prove  another opinion of hers...that you take your babies on outings for attention. When someone starts to do that to me, I will tell them that I don't announce it, that if someone says something to me, only then do I let that person know it's a reborn, I am not looking to advertise. I am here, shopping with my girlfriends and would like to get on with that.
Don't try to overthink it though. She was trying to guilt you into her mental box, tried to "Dr. Phil" you. You are a stable minded doll collector and a positive person in the reborn community.
Also, let your girls know that I love seeing them in your videos.

I’ve used a high chair st Starbucks and Wendels for Benji and people smile. Never encountered an idiot before. This dude really needed to mind his own business. I love when Benji sits in the high chair. He’s so cute.

You girls had me giggling along from the start. I could see you were having the best time. I was literally wanting to be there for the fun & especially the baby clothes. I'm sorry Paula had this negative reaction & I'm glad she past that to come out again. Some people can be rude & disrespectful. This situation could of been dealt with in a much calmer way, Paula didn't deserve this. I'm sorry your day ended this way ❤🇬🇧

Meetups are always such fun! I'm sorry about the bad reactions. Some people out there are just idiots.

For some people like me they are comfort and fill in a hole of bad from my past

I love my little Alison

Jashua looks so real. I'd love to see a realistic doll like that in public. Its like art and truly you guys know they are dolls so showing them off isn't weird to me. As a collector myself * of figures and rare manga.* I honestly get it. I hope you get positive attention more than negative. Just because they aren't alive doesn't mean they aren't beautiful.

People should learn to mind their business truly, I collect books as a bookworm and that has gained me criticism from friends who claim I waste my life away without socializing, but if they consider "socializing" getting drunk and hooking up, then let me better "hook up" with a nice book than a cuestionable gentleman Kay? Kay. You girls keep doing what you love and nevermind the others ❤

The best thing about reborns is they are no trouble. Mines watching this with me. He a toddler and smiles all the time😃

Those stores are too tempting!! It's o.k we have a complete community backing you up, chuckle chuckle!! Joann.

I hope Stephanie just let it roll off her back. She did not owe that man any explanations at all. And yes I agree with you. Everyone seems to think that this hobby is to fill the void of not being able to have children. I can and probably will have kids one day. I don’t want kids now. Real babies and reborns are nothing alike. Being a reborn mom is really fun and easy! I hope y’all still had a great time even though y’all had some not so good reactions. 💜
