In New Zealand (so I am told), you can buy blow up plastic SHEEP.

I watched it after recording it first time round. I could kind of understand the grandmother who was missing her grandson since he emigrated with his family, she obviously has no other grandchildren to make a fuss of or cuddle.
I didn't think it was that attractive tho, and nor were many if any of them.
Having lost my daughter at 3 days, born prematurely, I could maybe imagine I might have wanted one had they been available at the time, just to feel something in my arms to cuddle and maybe that is what these women want, something to cuddle and care for. The woman who went to America admitted she wanted perfection hence the model baby rather than a real one so it kept clean etc. She obviously had issues that could have done with treatment but maybe that had not been recognised by a doctor and treatment given.
Really, I felt rather sorry for them all in their various ways of 'caring' for their babies/dolls and have to say that as long as they weren't hurting anyone else or snatching babies from prams, it was up to them.

I saw this a few weeks ago and what I found most creepy was you could have the doll with a heartbeat! Now that would unerve me completely.

You can take it as a harmless hobby but I think a few of those women featured were obsessive to put it mildly.

Errr I won't be getting one I would sooner have a cyber dog...lol

Saw it first time round.. although they are not harming anyone ,,I wonder what harm they are doing to themselves living in this --fantasy--- outside the *norm*----its unhealthy,,,

Carole, well at least it wouldn't snore and trump. pml

The grandmother was the strangest. Initially I thought her grandson had died - a replica doll would still be weird, but sort of understandable - but to find the grandson still alive - incredibly creepy. Loved the grandson's comment though - at least he's in the real world!

Thanks all for joining in. I'm off to bed. Join real man!!
No baby dolls xx Nite nite

My goodness yes SS it could give an awful shock

What good is a male doll it wouldn't cut the grass

Chris, also uncomfortable with it. I suppose it's stemmed from those dolls that were designed to put teens off getting pregnant at a young age.

Carole, can you imagine if she had a crash... some poor person would have a total freak out about the baby trapped in the car not moving. Just wrong!

Apparently they are bringing out one which will feel warm to the touch as with a live child - this is so weird I am uncomfortable with it.

LMAO Keith. They were mostly Americans I think (which sort of explains it really) and they were pretty realistic dolls of adult women. One of the guys had about a dozen of the things and he'd go on "dates" with them, take it to the pub, on picnics, sit and watch TV with them, take photos of himself with them... incredibly bizarre. Think they were about 3grand a pop or something.

They also had an interview with the creator he was looking to start making male ones *smirk*.

This is the one who was on Richard and Judy. This woman has her doll in a childs car seat why?

Hi Chris I haven't heard the cost you can get them on ebay

is it as bad as the ones where the grown men have 'real dolls' as girlfriends?
where when

get me 1 asap lol

Saw the woman who makes them on Richard & Judy tonight and a woman who collects them plus a trick cyclist!

It showed a woman who had one made in the image of her g.son who had gone to N. Zealand and she bawled when she showed her husband and he walked out out after telling her it looked like something in a morgue. How much do these dolls cost?

Haven't seen that one SS x
