And I won't be buying them for Vi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-829358 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:38:43 +0000 Reese 829358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never liked barbies. My mom really tried to push them on me. She bought me the dream house, car, RV, etc,etc... I just wasn't a fan. I was obsessed with Lego. Obsessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-829288 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:21:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 829288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first Barbie was Beauty Secrets Barbie . . . I *puffyhearted* her so hard! I learned how to French braid on her. :) I would buy LO a Barbie if she wanted one. </p> <p>[attach=2207/13/mnvk0i.388x500.Barbie.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-829270 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:17:15 +0000 mrsjazz 829270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my mom bought us our first Barbies but we actually loved Gem better. :)</p> <p>I will let LO play with dolls and possibly buy her a Barbie if she really really wants one, but I'd like to avoid Barbie if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-829258 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:14:37 +0000 T-Mom 829258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom bought me my first Barbie, I believe she was a Skipper doll. My DD already has 2 Barbies, gifts from relatives. She is almost 5, but shows no interest in them whatsoever, so they are in a closet for future play if she shows interest. She is much more interested in her baby doll at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-829252 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:12:26 +0000 swurlygurl 829252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember my first barbie, but I know I loved them! I would definitely let DD play with them (probably encourage it, too, haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828970 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:01:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 828970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Christmas morning picture of my dad helping me open a Barbie. I looked to be about 3. That's actually one of my fab pictures because the gleeful anticipation is all over my face. </p> <p>I think we will skip Barbies altogether. I don't mind dolls, but Barbie is a woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828903 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:42:24 +0000 BlueWolverine 828903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVED Barbie when I was kid. The best Christmas ever was the one when I got Twirly Curls Barbie.</p> <p>I won't have a problem with LO having barbies if she wants them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828894 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:39:42 +0000 Caly 828894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom wouldn't let me have them, said they didn't give healthy body image, etc. Never honestly bothered me &amp; I never felt deprived...I did end up getting one as a birthday gift at one point. Will probably look into other alternatives for a LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828865 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:33:15 +0000 loveisstrange 828865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a gymnast Barbie than I got for Christmas. She was my first and my favorite. I played with them until I was like 13. I will definitely buy a couple for C.</p> <p>Now Bratz and Monster High? Hell no. The creepy La La Loopsy ones get a no too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828837 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:23:13 +0000 photojane 828837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely will. I LOVED Barbies! I had a gazillion + her car, house, pool, etc. Everyone always gave me Barbie stuff for my birthday &amp; holidays. And, I don't have some sort of complex from playing with a doll with boobs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828825 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:18:16 +0000 googly-eyes 828825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few my parents bought but I never got really into them. I most likely won't be buying them for dd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-828560 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:42:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 828560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some of my moms hand me down barbies from really early on. This past week, DD (22 months) found some of my nieces hand me down barbies and she loves them. We also have a toy Jessie (Toy Story 2) doll that she likes. The Jessie doll is nice because her clothes don't come off and she has less of a figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-788443 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:01:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 788443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my mom actually gave me the barbies she had when she was a little girl. I still have all my barbies from childhood and two AG dolls so my future dd will get those :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-788437 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:00:10 +0000 chopsuey 788437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one tropical barbie that my parents bought me..<br /> If LO wants a barbie or an American Girl doll we'll get her one for her birthday or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-barbie#post-788381 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:53:37 +0000 Rubies 788381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure my parents bought me my first Barbie. However, when I walk past the Barbie aisle, they just look so different to me that I can't imagine I'd be buying them for LO when she's older.</p> <p>Who bought you your first Barbie? Will you buy them for your LO? </p>
