Is my daughter being ridiculous? Should I give in?
I feel like my daughter is being silly. She is 7 and obsessed with dolls and playing house (which I am very happy about). But she insists that everything she plays with must be real-life (real strollers, car seats, diapers, etc.)
I bought her a used umbrella stroller from a garage sale, but she tells me she wants one that lays down and has a safety bar. Also, she is begging me to buy her a used car seat we can strap in the car.
I don’t know if I should give in and let her live out her play fantasy or stick to doll items.
She always wants to look at the newest baby items when we pass by in Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Is this normal behavior? Was anyone like this when they were younger?
I commend your daughter on her thoroughness and safety-mindedness, but no, do not give in, this is nothing but a phase that will pass, and she can make do with the toys she has.
