My daughter has quite a few dolls, but I never see her playing with them. For birthdays and other holidays I've given her Barbies thinking she'd love them and they'd just sit in the toybox, never to be touched.

Yesterday we went garage sale shopping, and there was a cabbage patch doll for sale. It was very clean and in wonderful shape, and was only $3. Having grown up in the 80's during the cabbage patch craze, and having had 3 of them myself (which hadn't been kept in very good condition I might add!) I wanted to buy this doll for her. I asked her if she wanted it, and she said no!

My daughter does like dolls actually, which is quite surprising seeing as she has 3 big brothers. I thought she would be a tomboy but she is quite girly and has a lot of dolls. She is not into barbie or any of the older dolls yet but prefers the baby like dolls and she has a pushchair and a pram and loves to push her dolls to school when we pick the boys up! I always wanted a cabbage patch doll but never got one!!

I don't have a daughter, but when I was little I loved dolls.

My daughter loves baby dolls. She has about 15 of them. They are about her favorite thing to play with. I would have probably gotten it for my daughter, but she really does not need more.

Neither one of my daughters really liked dolls. The older one, not at all, her younger sister would play with them sporadically. I did buy them both dolls, from time to time, usually because they would see ads for dolls that "do something" and they just wanted to see them work! Once they had them, they would get put away and never played with again. I finally just stopped buying them because it was a lot of money spent for no real reason. My mom kept buying them dolls for Christmas because she believed that "every little girl wants a doll" but it just wasn't the case with mine.

When I was a child, I never liked dolls either. I was more into playing school, doing craft activities, coloring, that sort of thing. My best friend would invite me over to "play Barbies" and we'd get everything set up... like the house, the Barbie airplane (remember that? LOL), the camping set... we'd have everything all over the basement floor and, once it was all ready, we were bored and didn't want to play with the actual dolls.

My daughter grew up with dolls and loved them just as I did. Then her daughter came along. She got dolls. But she has 3 brothers and she wondered why she couldn't have a truck like them! She never really played with her dolls. She like boyish things and electronic games and sports. Oh, she's become quite the young lady, which means they don't always have to play with dolls in order to become one. thumbup

For Christmas I bought my daughter a bunch of Polly Pocket cars, they came with a Polly Pocket and some other things, so it was a girly version of her brothers' favorite toy. The cars were all pink and glittery. I thought perhaps she'd like those, because she is very girly. She loves pink and purple and glitter. Nope, her youngest brother plays with those Polly Pocket cars now. My daughter isn't a tomboy, she just doesn't like dolls!

I don't have a daughter. I only have boys and they have LOTS of toys they don't play with. We actually never buy them toys for holidays/birthdays. They usually get movies, video games, or something like that.

I had Cabbage Patch dolls too happy

My daughter did not like dolls. She had a few, collectible, play with, hand made, cabbage patch. She mostly kept them on a shelf. She liked and collected My Little Ponies. She is grown up now, and the mom of two little girls, newest one born today. I do not live close so I am not sure how the oldest one feels about dolls, but she just got a new baby sister.

Neither one of my girls play with dolls either. It drives me crazy lol. They don't really to have any interest in them. I had all my old barbies boxed up too and my mom had got them a huge barbie house at a yardsale. So I packed it away because they didn't play with it. Then my oldest asks me to get it back down out of the attic and swears she will play with it. She also asked santa for the diamond castle barbie. So santa brought them both the barbie they wanted. And mommy drug all the stuff down from the attic. They hardly played with it. Every so often the younger will drag out all the little accessories every where for me to clean up. I'm hoping that they will get more interested in playing with them at some point. they are only 6 and 4 right now. I think that times have just changed. now the big things are nintendo ds and pet shops stuff.

No not really, my daughter rarely ever played with dolls. If there was another little girl over and they wanted to play dolls she would play with them, but she would never just play with them on her own. She used to play with a neighbor girl and she liked to play with dolls, they would play with the Barbies at least for a little while every time she came over, but if that little girl had never come over (that little girl is 14 now, and my daughter is 13), those dolls would never have been played with. I think my youngest son plays with my daughter's Barbies more than she ever did. Of course he only plays with them because they have big cool Barbie cars.

My daughter is going on 2 and she could care less about a doll baby. She's still young so maybe she'll come around to liking them later but for the time being what dolls she get's from holidays and birthdays will just be sitting still unopened or in her toy box until she comes around to liking them. She's into cars, bats and balls, and dogs. I think she should have been my little boy alot of the time, lol.
