Should I be worried about my dd? (AKA the naughty Barbie thread)

[SDFgirl]

Sure, sure

C'mon we all know that most of our dolls hardly ever had any clothes on, admit it you're a closeted nudist

Actually, when I was in high school, one of my friends and I snuck into a nudist colony!!! I won't go into details, but later I found out that my brother and one of his friends (who were on vacation with us) also snuck into same nudist colony at the SAME TIME! NAKED!! [Getting down and kissing the ground in gratitude that we didn't spot each other!! ]

Needless to say that was the end of my nudist career!!

Oh my, if I told you some of the make-believe games my sister Paula and I played when we were little, you'd think we were seriously mental!

We were actually pretty nice to our Barbies. My sister wasn't into them as much as I was, so it was mainly myself dressing them up. However, we did create a whole world with our My Little Ponies. The badguys in our games were always ourselves. We played that the giants (us)were trying to eat the ponies so they could have the magical powers from their symbols, but one baby pony named Quackers had a baby duck on her side that would come to life and be very annoying!

We had this other make-believe game about this family with lots and lots of twins, with each set named after what they like most- like Trip and Vacation who loved vacations and Smartie and Wizard who were extremely smart. Later, the names got really silly like Wormee and Wormo who liked worms- we usually pretended to be them when we had spagetti for dinner. My sister played the mother, and I would always have one of my characters ask her where they got their names and she would create these funny stories about what happened when the mother was pregnant!

One of our longest running games (from preschool until about 7th grade) was based very loosely on Snow White. Basically, they were all babies who put on the play of Snow White every night- at least that's how it started. Snow White had a sister named Lolly and a best friend named Rainbow Star. (I played Snow; sis played everyone else). We had badguys named Snow-Mud and Lol-Mud. (Yes, we associated mud and filth with badguys!) Later we decided that Paula was making Lolly too mean and that she and Rainbow Star, who lived with the badguys, had been switched as babies. (We made up this idea that if two pregnant women rubbed bellies, their babies magically switched places.)

Did any of you actually follow that?? LOL. It's one of those "you had to be there" things. I feel so lucky to have such a close relationship with my sister- we still crack up over these memories.

To the OP, just stop worrying about your DD. We are the ones that need therapy asap!

OMG!!! Where's the tag fairy when you need her!

 

[donnajon]

Don't you remember a few years ago when it was all over the news that Barbie and Ken broke up? You daughter is just acting out Ken's revenge over her dumping him!

 

[btass]

So, dd8 likes to play games with her Barbies where Ken is the bad guy and captures them, but I've never seen one this until this morning: Lined up on her dresser are 4 Barbies, hands bound behind their backs, and feet bound together with tiny hair rubber bands. She says they're all captured and being held prisoner.

Do any of your kids do this?

The best thing I have learned as a Mom is this:
Once or twice or even a few times when a kid does something, it's a kid being a kid ~ no need to worry. When you see a serious pattern developing, that is when you worry.

My frightening barbie story.....


I had the Pretty in Pink Doll--it was soooo a manufacturers defect, but I bet my mom thought I scalped the doll as her hair scalp area--split apart from her face...and you could see inside barbie's head. It did it on its own--but had their been a DIS board at that time, I'm sure my mom would have posted wondering what was up with her DD and Pretty in Pink.

My daughters don't really have barbies--but they do have tinkerbell (barbie size) and then the little Polly Pocket Sized disney sets. They are constantly playing with headless dolls. I don't get it.

 

[bigmerle1966]

I had a slutty barbie too. She got knocked up a couple times.

 

[Syrreal]

I didn't have any Kens (the one I got once - the cowboy- broke and I exchanged it for another barbie) so I just cut the hair off one of them and made her a guy- but I didn't have Ken clothes so I dressed her up in a Smurfs tshirt for a baby doll and gold lame pants. If any adult would have seen it they would have thought that my barbies were girfriends.

 

[Nancy]

Don't worry. Eventually she'll cut off all their hair too. Didn't we all do that?

My DD's shaved off Esmelreldas (from Hunchback) to make her look like Demi Moore's character in GI Jane!

 

[MrsPete]

Has she seen something on TV lately that prompted this game?

Has someone talked to her about stranger danger lately?

How long has it been going on? If it's the "idea of the week", I wouldn't worry -- if it goes on longer though, then I'd be concerned.

Exactly what I was thinking when I asked how long it'd been going on. I'd do nothing right away, but if the "game" continues next week and the next week, or if it escalates . . . then I'd start to be concerned.

 

[Lanshark]

So how are the barbies doing today.

Has she chopped their hair off?
Has she chopped their heads off"
Are they naked
Did they have a plastic orgy?

Just make sure they don't use an old refillable mug, sleep more than 4 of them in the room, smoke on the balcony of a non smoking room or circumcise Ken.
Oops...I forgot. If they do happen to get pregnant don't let them breastfeed in public or try to pass the little plastic brat off as 3 so they don't need an adult ticket.

 

[Steffi]

I wouldn't be too worried... when I was that age I would pretend my barbie was pregnant with a pony

My DD used to pretend her Barbie was pregnant with a cat. It was the pregnant Barbie with detachable stomach, and DD would put a tiny cat in the stomach and make Barbie give birth to a loudly meowing kitten. DD also used to play with Barbie toilets - which she had several of for some reason - and make them be the toilet family. The Toilets talked, shopped, and went places together.

 

[mainewmn]

And what ever you do, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO POOL HOP!

 

[swanmom]

My Barbie was a stripper who lived on a cruise ship with Huckleberry Pie and Snoopy.

I don't know about the cruise ship but my best friend always wanted her Barbie to be a stripper. She used to stand her Barbie up on the porch railing - dancing and throwing off all her doll's little clothes...........I guess it's a good thing we didn't have a pole up there!

 

[momof2inPA]

My barbies went on dates with Ken or G.I. Joe-- and got naked. I think that was the effect of my mom watching All My Children.

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

Wow, Barbie was an adventurous woman who probably should have made medical history for giving birth to ponys and cats.

My Barbies like to be tomboys. They hung out with GI Joe and participated in the adventures. Usually that meant jumping out of the clubhouse, being thrown down the stairs, or bungee jumping out of the tree. They got burried in the sandbox a few times too.

I also had Jem dolls. I didn't have the whole set though. So Barbie would take their place. But the blonde hair didn't fit. So I used markers to color in Barbies hair. Then my brother would get mad at me and rip their heads off. Mom used to find Barbie heads with purple hair lying around the house.

 

[budbeerlady]

Sure, sure

C'mon we all know that most of our dolls hardly ever had any clothes on, admit it you're a closeted nudist

This is cracking me up, my Barbies got around since I had two Kens. And they always slept nakie. (Where did we come up with this stuff? )

Now DD's Barbies are always nakie, Dh has been complaining about it, I keep telling him it is no big deal. I will have to show him this thread.

Glad to know i had a normal Barbie experience growing up, and I do sleep fully clothed to this day, not sure why Barbie never did!
