[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't introduce Barbie and princesses ourselves, but she got them as gifts and loves them. I don't feel like its my job to police all her influences. They were gifted to her by her doting grandparents. I think her biggest influence is how DH and I interact and treat each other, I don't think the Disney princesses and Barbie make a huge difference one way or another.[/quote] I agree with this. I also see my DD's interests shift depending on who she's playing with: she plays dolls with her grandmother who introduced dolls, but never with me. I've probably unconsciously telegraphed that I find them boring. I have never enjoyed dolls but in terms of body image influences, I am fine with the newer lines of Barbie. They have kids, men, gender neutral, etc and there are other brands that offer feminine dress up on more realistic dolls. My one gift-receiving rule is no toy guns, but she has played with laser tag guns at other houses. [/quote]
