I think its funny how they always say to us hey are you too old to play with dolls but a man is never too old to play with his trains, planes,, cars or dioramas he builds
Oh don't even get me started. I didn't realize what a phony Dr Phil was until seeing this episode. Such a double standard, I agree. Men are allowed to collect and play with anything.
I think the toy soldiers craze re-enacting battles is the worst. They always know better, their strategy's "always" work. And football. But that's men, they can have hobbies, somehow women shouldn't have hobbies. Who is it hurting. There are women who can't have children, empty nest syndrome. Just to name two conditions. It's a natural feeling to hold a baby, it's comfort. I'm not a collecter but i love the video's.
A year later watching this and I'm actually so turned off by the questions, the judgement, the not so covert shaming. He needs a doll to cuddle and bond with (had he had one to foster nurturing, perhaps he'd have a better relationship with his own children). Then he needs to watch and I take the hundreds of thousands of people across all nations and creeds HEALING from interacting with dolls, even a brief cuddle and the experience like I share on my channel, then sit and re-evaluate HIS OWN LIFE choices in a quiet corner. I get ratings chasing, but this PoopShow is the reason why there's such disrespect and bullying the doll community. I personally don't like closed eye sculpts, But I will never judge those who do because there are some very sweet looking ones and that's THEIR choice. We as a nation have seen a massive rise in opinionated ENTITLED folk who need to be told LOUD AND CLEAR their OPINIONS DO NOT MATTER. PERIOD. The people who have the power of numbers.... need to do better.
The sleeping dolls do not look dead. A dead baby is blue. These dolls are painted to look like they have real skin of a live baby. That’s where the art is. It’s not easy to make vinyl look like real skin.
I really like how the reborn artist (guest) really takes up for her self. The other woman tries to make it seem creepy and say certain crappy comments and the reborn lady shuts her down every time when she feels disrespected, and quickly says “no, that’s not what I said” and says “you need to show the whole, clip” or, “here is what I really said!” I love it, and by the end Dr. Phil changes his tune and says “okay, well, I think this just hobby not a creepy habit”, cause they knew they were trying to borderline bully her and she wasn’t having it! Good for her. Know one has the right to disrespect anyones hobby if it’s not hurting anyone else.
I think so too. He’s too closed minded. If he was in our shoes, he’d be more forgiving. I have anxiety and I can’t have babies so dolls are the next best thing.
Hi I am a married 21 year old woman who struggles with infertility after 4 years of trying and almost giving up hope I decided to get a reborn since I got him he has helped me so much to not focus so much on trying to have a baby I can look at him and hold him and it’s so comforting I don’t think this is crazy in any type of way for me it’s a coping mechanism ❤️
I am so truly sorry you haven't been able to have your baby. It breaks my heart. Never lose hope. Just keep making sweet love and hopefully that baby will come when it's ready. In the meantime, I am so happy you have been able to find comfort with your reborn baby. I wish you all the luck in the world ❤️❤️❤️ Stop thinking but never stop trying girl! Stay positive 🙏🏻💙😇
It's been nearly 15 years since this aired, I believe Dr. Phil should take another look at this subject. Dolls are more than a hobby, there have been studies done that show they can be theraputic to some people that suffer from mental disorders such as dementia. Also this aired before Covid which changed our whole social structure, so perhaps he might have a different attitude towards those of us who find joy and comfort in our reborn dolls.
Facts. My babies bring joy to those who don't even like dolls. I've seen cuddles change their whole moods and days. To the point where I've created a company, now do TH-cam, and will soon post reactions of people. The doll industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and growing. With the vast array of reasons WHY people buy them, ignorance just needs to stop.
On a side note, real reborn dolls are an incredible art form that require a lot of skill. They can also make a huge difference to people with dementia amongst others.
I am a reborn artist and a collector. I don’t see any thing wrong with it. Some women can’t have kids , or have lost a baby. Having a reborn helps in so many ways.
Did you grow up in the 90s during the porcelain doll craze? I had a similar experience. I just hated that I couldn’t touch their hair or play with them. 😂
I felt like dr Phil and his assistant were both trying to shame this woman out of enjoying her dolls. I wouldn’t have wanted to be a part of his show for that reason. I wonder if she knew they were going to make fun of her or doll collectors in general if she would have done it. Many women have felt the way about purses and shoes that they’ve seen in stores as she said how she’s felt at the doll show. And shoes and purses can get as expensive as dolls. If you paying your bills and have money left over to buy something you enjoy than you should do it and not have to feel ashamed about it. The sound of dr Phil’s voice creeps me out and make my skin crawl. I ALWAYS turn the channel when his show comes on.
🤣 I love what you said about Dr Phil and his voice! And I agree with you completely. It really shows how fake he is. No compassionate "doctor" would ever behave that way!
I have 3 reborns they are also known as medical devices for depression anxiety and grief. I lost baby girl in 2015 and my reborns help me with the pain of never holding my baby girl. I don't buy baby formula I make my own out of coffee creamer and water
Personally I've had two real children but being a woman who came from a huge family I always wanted as many babies as I could have but wasn't able to have any more after my 2nd child so I'd love to have a reborn doll just to cuddle up with and feel that baby love.
I am a reborn artist… these babies do not look like a “dead” baby unless it is purposely created to look that way. My son was stillborn … trust me…. I know. Some People do create alternative dolls to look like zombies or whatever. But just a normal sleeping reborn does not look “dead”.
My daughter was stillborn, I have a friend that's a reborn artist and some of her dolls looks like a real de**d baby I told her that her coloring is off it gives her baby's a ashie look some of them looks creepy
@@ernestineoliver8574 does she do that on purpose? If her dolls look “dead” then her coloring is for sure off. A good reborn does not look anything like a dead baby. I’m sorry about your daughter. It’s a pain like no other.
@@mandyflaniken1900 Thank you!! Her color is definitely off and I have told her that it is something that she needs to work on I have seen some beautiful doll's that looks real
I am a beginner as a reborn artist. I’ve made 4 babies which I kept for myself. I don’t think they are good enough to sell. I also have purchased 2 babies from great artist. It’s a hobby to me. I was more interested before being a grandmother. Now that I am a grandmother My interest is to get better on reborning and selling it for women who needs to fill an emptiness that they have and also for hospital that have Alzheimer patients as therapy.
I make them and sell them. I have one that I fell in love with and made for myself. It's a beautiful little remake of a little baby with down syndrome. I used to take care of down syndrome adults and my baby reminds me of the love I had for my sweet little people.
Wasn't able to have kids because of health difficulties, now need a hysterectomy so can't ever have a baby and it makes me very sad at times. I recently started looking at reborns because I have all these nurturing feelings I can't express. I wouldn't be treating the doll like a real baby but I have a need to hold and cuddle one. Someone like 'doctor' Phil making fun of it angers me. I'd be interested to know if the woman in green has children.
So grown men can be obsessed with football? They can buy all kinds of shirts and accessories. They can spend tons and go to football games, play fantasy football, and memorise all the players. The same goes for men who play video games and love star wars collectibles, etc. But women can't play with realistic dolls and buy them clothes? That's creepy and obsessive? What is different from men and their obsessions? They are not hurting anyone or anything so leave them alone and deal with your own feelings about it, with your own ego.
You are so right and men can collect toy cars too but women can not have pleasure having their dolls . we are the nurturing sex they need to remember that!!!
So men think they are too old to play with action figures, planes, trains classic cars? Why is it ok for men and not for women to have a hobby and love the things they collect?
It's really just fun. Grown adults pretend to be elves running through mythical lands and "shooting" giant spiders to save imaginary worlds and that's fine but pretending to be a mother is a neurosis?
i have them abd i dont care what anyone says mind your own bussiness please ive taised three children and helped my sister with her children helpes take of other children abd helped out with my grandchildren next guestion lol
Was it just me, or was anyone else pissed off when Dr. Phil was making the baby's head flop back and forth? Yes, I totally agree they were bullying the guest and I found the whole format of this show offensive to the reborn community and families! And another thing, why did they chose a comedian to interview the group of reborn artist/friends? That makes no sense to me at all. Reborn babies are not funny. They are beautiful works of art that are meant to comfort and console. It is a lovely way to feel compassion and love. I have 3 reborn babies myself and I'm saving up for a full body silicone baby. I wish they had one of those for them to hold. That would have freaked them out for sure!
What I really don’t like is how Dr. Phil said it was an obsession most people use these as therapy or a collection none of it is an obsession and people really need to find the difference between that We wouldn’t say that somebody has an obsession with Pokémon cards( if they have a collection of those) so don’t say that about reborns
I'm a reborn artist and a collector! It's wonderful to create such beautiful reborns, and I love it when my customers receive their babies and the joy it brings to them. Everyone will have an opinion, and that's actually ok as long as your reborn makes you happy that's all that matters. Reborning is such a wonderful experience. I feel very blessed and very humble to be able to create something that truly makes people happy.
I need to add to this topic from a dementia patient view point. Baby dolls stuffed animals bring a sense of calm to a brain that is slowly dying. There is no wrongness in filling an emotional need whether it's from a mental health perspective or from just a desire to love one.
If someone made fashion dolls or porcelain dolls it’s ok but silicone baby dolls are creepy?! It’s not different than any other craft hobby. It’s an art!! I love them. Women love the feel of a baby in arms. Nothing wrong with that.
people love dogging on the interests of women and girls from our hobbies to our books and movies. lol and he's making fun of a hobby that can bring artists thousands of dollars per sale. No one has peep to say about men and their little fantasy sports teams but these women get laughed at for their hobbies. ok.
Creepy?What is the definition,of creepy?For me it is abuse,of men ,children,annimals......Is the one who collect trains,in his 60's,creepy?Or he,who builds mini airplains?Or he,who plays with Lego,on his ''45' s?Or people,who throw a ball away,and call it"golf"?I do not want/have one,but i think it is a great artist,who makes them,and made with love.For the woman who "rock" them,maybe the just want to cuddle a baby, like,it comforts them?
I'm sorry but the lady whom was looking at them mentioned if there eyes are shut they look dead!!! I have a premmie reborn and I'm 48... I have OCD with cleaning but I have lost a baby in 2001 and have 4 adults and a teenager... I won't be seeing grandbabies and the need to hold and rock one is great for me.. I roleplay and even mine has new diapers on and clothes etc and there very therapeutic for women whom cannot have children and older women in care homes, so how can Dr Phil and this other person say a thing when they don't know themselves
Ich liebe Puppen . Solange ich denken kann.und aber leider wird es von vielen als unnormal gesehen.anders wenn Leute mit Autos Playmobil Lego Eisenbahnen glücklich sind.ich muss mich Verstecken als puppenliebhaber. Das ist einfach ungerecht. ❤️🧸💐❤️🍀👍Ich liebe puppen.
I'm wanting one made in my likeness of when I was born a month early on January 6, 1971 and in the likeness of all 4 of my daughters of when they were born on January 13, 1993, May 28, 1995, January 31, 1998 and April 9, 2000. Birth weight and length. They are going to be bed setting dolls only. Not for play. I have one grandson so these dolls won't go to my daughters. None of them, except one, have children, they don't want children ever. My 2nd daughter has absolutely no plans on having any more children, ever. They are also good for the mothers who lost their babies from a premature birth or a stillborn. That's how the "re-borns" began. A Woman lost her baby during birth and she wanted a doll made in that baby's likeness, birth weight and length. It helped her recover from that loss.
I have three reborn dolls ! and I work , have four successful children and 5 grandchildren And have a social life ..SO assumptions and bias is insulting ! They just are incredible works of art that you can admire and hold ! Not an obsession at all !!! And who needs Anyones permission anyway ? Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s Odd ! That’s your bias and that woman on you show was treated terribly ! The ganging up and Mocking someone is shameful dr phill you should know better !
I have a life and 2 real adult kids and i have 3 reborn babies and i have mental health issues but that doesn’t mean anything i love my babies i got a boy 2 help me when my dad passed away. And as 4 the woman in green she needs a life
Yes Absolutely. I so agree. I had lost a baby 20 years ago. I had felt missing and feel that reborn dolls help with my pain of a loss of a baby daughter. And I am 59 years old and I’m unable to have any more children. I am a mother of 4 children that are real.
It’s not just 2 years old. I’ve been doing it for nearly 20 yrs. I make them and sell some, give many away, and collect other artists dolls. If it’s a cult there are over 1 million worldwide. I have a full full time job as well as several other hobbies. I’ve always loved dolls, from when I was little, the more realistic the better. Open eyed dolls have much more personality. Just my two sense.
Late night at a c train station.. crack head with a reborn doll,but I didn't know, she dropped it on The ground, I've never ran so fast..I was calling 911 when i realized it was a doll
I collect reborns and I also make and sale them It's just a hobby. I sale mine at reasonable prices. But I don't play with them I will change there clothes to match the seasons.
People are allowed to spend their money on whatever they want. What you would spend your money on has nothing to do with how someone else chooses to spend their money...

Just watched the episode. The correspondent was super annoying and offensive. Unfortunately, they didn’t delve into the many reasons people purchase reborns. Some women have lost babies. Whether still birth, miscarriages, etc. Some women are infertile. In my case, I have an adult child and went through a phase of really wanting another child (or so I thought). After hanging out with the reborn, I realized my attention span wasn’t what it used to be.
Yes and they are also used in nursing homes for women with dementia patients because they find comfort in the dolls and bring back past memories of being a mom taking care of their own babies!
Sorry I couldn't deal with Dr Phil. He is just after the ratings and is really nasty to too many of his guests. If it was a guy and his toy soldiers or trains, no problem. But let a woman have a hobby that is a big part of their life then she is mentally disturbed. Ugh.
Dolls are an art form , some are so beautiful and artistic, an outlet to create. BJDs are popular now and some artists make the most outstanding outfits for these dolls. The gorgeous hair , faces , clothes. All artistry and owning a piece of art
I think, that people who think its creepy, are the actual creepy ones. I think anyone who judges this is nuts. Theres nothing wrong w tapping Into nurturing side. Also fashion side. I suppose clothing designers should never dress mannequins. Alot of people that love cuddling dolls also love dressing dolls in little outfits. Seems to me that people thinking its whack. Is whack. Themselves. For thinking so.
We just want to be a mommy a again but that’s R business but R babies R not taking anything out anybody’s pocket F any body that try to shut us down come on reborn mom you should be there for me as I’m there for you guys ❤
I 💕 love dolls but not obsessed with them. People have coin, car, and other hobbies nothing is said about it after children are grown you just want a hobby.
I agree with people saying that buying real diapers and real formula for these baby dolls is ridiculous. I am a mom to a premature baby boy and I can only find his formula online for often double the price because the stores sell out of it so fast due to the formula shortage. So people buying his formula that he needs to get the nourishment that he desperately needs to grow and be healthy is stupid. We have bought a couple of these for my daughter as well as nieces and nephews that we babysit from time to time. Instead of buying actual baby formula I buy powdered cow milk by the pound at Kroger or Walmart for around $10. Instead of purchasing a $50-$60 case of newborn diapers every week. I spent around $200 on 50 used cloth diapers so my nieces, nephews and daughter can still feed and change the baby but we aren’t wasting resources that babies actually need.
The “comedian” 🙄, keeps wanting to call it creepy and an obsession etc.etc. When it plainly showed a clip of HER actually holding one of the dolls in the air TALKING TO IT. Talk about creepy!
I had that too, people tought I left a baby in my car too.Here (in Belgium) it s not that known yet. Shure they ware diapers! I dont spend thousend of dollars on them. Just a fiew 100 euro s . You can make every hobby as expensive as you wish
Regressing by being in a relationship with a pet? Yes it’s low demand because being in a relationship with most people is a psychotic experience that takes a toll on you emotionally and physically, especially if you are a very compassionate person. So pets are much easier and they give you so much in return for nearly nothing. Unconditional love is best experienced through pets. It’s highly therapeutic, can’t say the same about having a relationship with most people.
How did they get the idea to send a comedian to put her 2 cents worth in on the subject? Instead of her how about a real doctor or therapist? This Man is a joke. This is mean. Think of the feelings of these women.
If a man had a massive car collection it’s acceptable but a woman can’t have a doll collection? Some people get obsessed with many things but others can have these as a hobby or collection.
Dr. Phil is way off the mark. Everyone has something they are passionate about and gives them happiness. What the hell is wrong with that? If we could look into his life we may find out what he "obsesses" about himself. Maybe he shouldn't judge others choices. It doesn't harm anyone so just leave these women alone. Live and let live unless they are hurting others. Maybe Dr. Phil should not make fun of others and mind his own business. And no, I do not have any reborns myself but I do have compassion for others.
I absolutely despise dr Phil. He’s a fucking idiot ass hole. He is rude and condescending. Not even with Reborn’s but other people with mental health issues. He makes jokes like any of it is funny. I loath this man.
Reborn dolls are fun not to play with but its give spirtual feelings and comfort to young and old not childish act i have two reborns so i love them like our own children.
One of most revered, sweetest auntie's (may she test in peace) collected special edition dolls in special outfits. It was her passion and she enjoyed making her show room perfect (walks lined with shelves from floor to ceiling).
This episode originally aired on December 10 2008
This is clearly a hobby. It was fun watching DR Phill play with the reborn doll.
It’s all for viewing
I think its funny how they always say to us hey are you too old to play with dolls but a man is never too old to play with his trains, planes,, cars or dioramas he builds
Oh don't even get me started. I didn't realize what a phony Dr Phil was until seeing this episode. Such a double standard, I agree. Men are allowed to collect and play with anything.
Or play station
I was just about to say the exact same thing. 🤷🏽♀️
I think the toy soldiers craze re-enacting battles is the worst. They always know better, their strategy's "always" work. And football. But that's men, they can have hobbies, somehow women shouldn't have hobbies. Who is it hurting. There are women who can't have children, empty nest syndrome. Just to name two conditions. It's a natural feeling to hold a baby, it's comfort. I'm not a collecter but i love the video's.

I think Dr Phil should be more open minded about this subject…I would be happy to enlighten his education regarding these reborn babies…
I think so too. He’s too closed minded. If he was in our shoes, he’d be more forgiving. I have anxiety and I can’t have babies so dolls are the next best thing.

Why would you want a child at seventeen? This was your best choice.

That’s why he is not a real clinical psychologist 😊
Um I doubt that his opinion would change because Dr drama only does things one way ... HIS otherwise everyone is wrong
On a side note, real reborn dolls are an incredible art form that require a lot of skill. They can also make a huge difference to people with dementia amongst others.
I am a reborn artist and a collector. I don’t see any thing wrong with it. Some women can’t have kids , or have lost a baby. Having a reborn helps in so many ways.
True
I love the other reborn collectors in these comments and just the supportive people ❤ love seeing more supportive than hate comments
You are never too old to collect dolls and make reborn dolls. I'm 75 and I collect and make dolls for myself.
I knew an old lady with hundreds of dolls on display throughout living rooms... It was Actually adorable and as a kid I loved to look at them
Did you grow up in the 90s during the porcelain doll craze? I had a similar experience. I just hated that I couldn’t touch their hair or play with them. 😂
I felt like dr Phil and his assistant were both trying to shame this woman out of enjoying her dolls. I wouldn’t have wanted to be a part of his show for that reason.

Personally I've had two real children but being a woman who came from a huge family I always wanted as many babies as I could have but wasn't able to have any more after my 2nd child so I'd love to have a reborn doll just to cuddle up with and feel that baby love.
Some people obsess over watching and believing Dr. Phil. Hobbies are a fine thing. We all know the line we need to draw. Its healthy.
I love my babies,my husband collected guns and people never ask him if he was old enough.

This disgusts me so much 🤢 why is he being so nasty about reborns??
You no what those baby are so sweet I wish i could afford a couple . And yes i would hold them and rock them😊
I am a beginner as a reborn artist. I’ve made 4 babies which I kept for myself. I don’t think they are good enough to sell. I also have purchased 2 babies from great artist. It’s a hobby to me. I was more interested before being a grandmother. Now that I am a grandmother My interest is to get better on reborning and selling it for women who needs to fill an emptiness that they have and also for hospital that have Alzheimer patients as therapy.
That is true, I remember reading about that.
I am making one right now for a couple that wanted a baby and can't have one
True
I make them and sell them. I have one that I fell in love with and made for myself. It's a beautiful little remake of a little baby with down syndrome. I used to take care of down syndrome adults and my baby reminds me of the love I had for my sweet little people.
I think re-born dolls were originally used as a form of therapy.
They still are.
Diese rebornpuppen sind wahre Kunstwerke.❤️
Making fun of people who have a hobby they like. Just because they think it’s odd doesn’t give a right to ridicule her. Disgusting.
Wasn't able to have kids because of health difficulties, now need a hysterectomy so can't ever have a baby and it makes me very sad at times.

I agree!
You are so right and men can collect toy cars too but women can not have pleasure having their dolls . we are the nurturing sex they need to remember that!!!
THANK YOU!! EXACTLY! everything u said is right.
Reborn dolls work wonders for PTSD...
I was getting ready to feel attacked but it ended on a pretty positive note
So men think they are too old to play with action figures, planes, trains classic cars? Why is it ok for men and not for women to have a hobby and love the things they collect?
The dolls in this episode actually look kind of primitive compared to the 'reborns' today, which are often really lifelike.
It's really just fun. Grown adults pretend to be elves running through mythical lands and "shooting" giant spiders to save imaginary worlds and that's fine but pretending to be a mother is a neurosis?
Exactly 💞
i have them abd i dont care what anyone says mind your own bussiness please ive taised three children and helped my sister with her children helpes take of other children abd helped out with my grandchildren next guestion lol

What I really don’t like is how Dr. Phil said it was an obsession most people use these as therapy or a collection none of it is an obsession and people really need to find the difference between that We wouldn’t say that somebody has an obsession with Pokémon cards( if they have a collection of those) so don’t say that about reborns
I'm a reborn artist and a collector! It's wonderful to create such beautiful reborns, and I love it when my customers receive their babies and the joy it brings to them. Everyone will have an opinion, and that's actually ok as long as your reborn makes you happy that's all that matters. Reborning is such a wonderful experience. I feel very blessed and very humble to be able to create something that truly makes people happy.
evil is not therapy. The one with the evil eyes is scarry.
I need to add to this topic from a dementia patient view point. Baby dolls stuffed animals bring a sense of calm to a brain that is slowly dying. There is no wrongness in filling an emotional need whether it's from a mental health perspective or from just a desire to love one.
If someone made fashion dolls or porcelain dolls it’s ok but silicone baby dolls are creepy?! It’s not different than any other craft hobby. It’s an art!! I love them. Women love the feel of a baby in arms. Nothing wrong with that.
people love dogging on the interests of women and girls from our hobbies to our books and movies. lol and he's making fun of a hobby that can bring artists thousands of dollars per sale. No one has peep to say about men and their little fantasy sports teams but these women get laughed at for their hobbies. ok.
I dont care what people say about me carrying my doll around i love my baby she makes me happy i love her to death
Agree, I take my reborn out at night to hold, because it really helps me relax. There is something about holding a baby. I am well aware it is a doll.
Sleepy reborns do not look dead. They are sleeping.
Most therapy I been to encourage me to use a reborn. Deal with losses.
This really felt like full-on bullying. I thought so back in 2008. Not. Cool.
I agree!
Creepy?What is the definition,of creepy?For me it is abuse,of men ,children,annimals......Is the one who collect trains,in his 60's,creepy?Or he,who builds mini airplains?Or he,who plays with Lego,on his ''45' s?Or people,who throw a ball away,and call it"golf"?I do not want/have one,but i think it is a great artist,who makes them,and made with love.For the woman who "rock" them,maybe the just want to cuddle a baby, like,it comforts them?
I'm sorry but the lady whom was looking at them mentioned if there eyes are shut they look dead!!! I have a premmie reborn and I'm 48... I have OCD with cleaning but I have lost a baby in 2001 and have 4 adults and a teenager... I won't be seeing grandbabies and the need to hold and rock one is great for me.. I roleplay and even mine has new diapers on and clothes etc and there very therapeutic for women whom cannot have children and older women in care homes, so how can Dr Phil and this other person say a thing when they don't know themselves
Ich liebe Puppen . Solange ich denken kann.und aber leider wird es von vielen als unnormal gesehen.anders wenn Leute mit Autos Playmobil Lego Eisenbahnen glücklich sind.ich muss mich Verstecken als puppenliebhaber. Das ist einfach ungerecht. ❤️🧸💐❤️🍀👍Ich liebe puppen.
My favorite hobby! I’m a collector but I’d love to be an artist
I'm wanting one made in my likeness of when I was born a month early on January 6, 1971 and in the likeness of all 4 of my daughters of when they were born on January 13, 1993, May 28, 1995, January 31, 1998 and April 9, 2000. Birth weight and length. They are going to be bed setting dolls only. Not for play. I have one grandson so these dolls won't go to my daughters. None of them, except one, have children, they don't want children ever. My 2nd daughter has absolutely no plans on having any more children, ever. They are also good for the mothers who lost their babies from a premature birth or a stillborn. That's how the "re-borns" began. A Woman lost her baby during birth and she wanted a doll made in that baby's likeness, birth weight and length. It helped her recover from that loss.
I have three reborn dolls ! and I work , have four successful children and 5 grandchildren And have a social life ..SO assumptions and bias is insulting ! They just are incredible works of art that you can admire and hold ! Not an obsession at all !!! And who needs Anyones permission anyway ? Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s Odd ! That’s your bias and that woman on you show was treated terribly ! The ganging up and Mocking someone is shameful dr phill you should know better !
I think the comedian girl was upsetting the woman with the baby
These women are not hurting anyone report on something humane
I have a life and 2 real adult kids and i have 3 reborn babies and i have mental health issues but that doesn’t mean anything i love my babies i got a boy 2 help me when my dad passed away. And as 4 the woman in green she needs a life
No, ain’t nothing wrong with that I collect reborn but I only got six
"his hair is a little donald trump style" LMAO
I have a porcelain baby and i hold it and put different clothing on it😊😊😊
It's because the non reborn people are just cruel and unkind they don't know our pain we go through
Yes Absolutely. I so agree. I had lost a baby 20 years ago. I had felt missing and feel that reborn dolls help with my pain of a loss of a baby daughter. And I am 59 years old and I’m unable to have any more children. I am a mother of 4 children that are real.
It’s not just 2 years old. I’ve been doing it for nearly 20 yrs. I make them and sell some, give many away, and collect other artists dolls. If it’s a cult there are over 1 million worldwide. I have a full full time job as well as several other hobbies. I’ve always loved dolls, from when I was little, the more realistic the better. Open eyed dolls have much more personality. Just my two sense.
Would you be willing to bless me with one of your babies?
Late night at a c train station.. crack head with a reborn doll,but I didn't know, she dropped it on The ground, I've never ran so fast..I was calling 911 when i realized it was a doll
I collect reborns and I also make and sale them It's just a hobby. I sale mine at reasonable prices. But I don't play with them I will change there clothes to match the seasons.
I have made reborn dolls and it is so much fun to see all the parts make a baby doll
Wish I had the money they spend on these dolls. I could pay my mortgage.
Or donate to a worthy cause!!
People are allowed to spend their money on whatever they want. What you would spend your money on has nothing to do with how someone else chooses to spend their money...

Just watched the episode. The correspondent was super annoying and offensive. Unfortunately, they didn’t delve into the many reasons people purchase reborns. Some women have lost babies. Whether still birth, miscarriages, etc. Some women are infertile. In my case, I have an adult child and went through a phase of really wanting another child (or so I thought). After hanging out with the reborn, I realized my attention span wasn’t what it used to be.
Yes and they are also used in nursing homes for women with dementia patients because they find comfort in the dolls and bring back past memories of being a mom taking care of their own babies!
Sorry I couldn't deal with Dr Phil. He is just after the ratings and is really nasty to too many of his guests. If it was a guy and his toy soldiers or trains, no problem. But let a woman have a hobby that is a big part of their life then she is mentally disturbed. Ugh.
it's not even a hobby,.it's just parenting..
Ah, so hobbies are just hobbies, but if the hobby is reborning or collecting reborn dolls, it's immediately an obsession? Yeah no, got it.
Amooo essa art reborn❤😍🇧🇷
Dolls are an art form , some are so beautiful and artistic, an outlet to create. BJDs are popular now and some artists make the most outstanding outfits for these dolls. The gorgeous hair , faces , clothes. All artistry and owning a piece of art
I remember this show🥰
I think, that people who think its creepy, are the actual creepy ones. I think anyone who judges this is nuts. Theres nothing wrong w tapping Into nurturing side. Also fashion side. I suppose clothing designers should never dress mannequins. Alot of people that love cuddling dolls also love dressing dolls in little outfits. Seems to me that people thinking its whack. Is whack. Themselves. For thinking so.
It's okay to do it at home but it's weird if an adult is going around with a doll
@@HeavenlySunset24 Why?
I never seen this til now lol
I didn't get into reborn dolls until 2016 so I had never seen this before either. This was my first scheduled video 😆 I filmed it three days ago.
Awesome
We just want to be a mommy a again but that’s R business but R babies R not taking anything out anybody’s pocket F any body that try to shut us down come on reborn mom you should be there for me as I’m there for you guys ❤
Im gonna make a lowfi video and rant about this lol
I 💕 love dolls but not obsessed with them. People have coin, car, and other hobbies nothing is said about it after children are grown you just want a hobby.
I agree with people saying that buying real diapers and real formula for these baby dolls is ridiculous.
I am a mom to a premature baby boy and I can only find his formula online for often double the price because the stores sell out of it so fast due to the formula shortage. So people buying his formula that he needs to get the nourishment that he desperately needs to grow and be healthy is stupid.
We have bought a couple of these for my daughter as well as nieces and nephews that we babysit from time to time. Instead of buying actual baby formula I buy powdered cow milk by the pound at Kroger or Walmart for around $10.
Instead of purchasing a $50-$60 case of newborn diapers every week. I spent around $200 on 50 used cloth diapers so my nieces, nephews and daughter can still feed and change the baby but we aren’t wasting resources that babies actually need.
The “comedian” 🙄, keeps wanting to call it creepy and an obsession etc.etc. When it plainly showed a clip of HER actually holding one of the dolls in the air TALKING TO IT. Talk about creepy!
@Cheryl McKenney exactly why can't a person find comfort and therapy even in talking to a doll.There is nothing wrong with that.
I had that too, people tought I left a baby in my car too.Here (in Belgium) it s not that known yet.
Shure they ware diapers! I dont spend thousend of dollars on them.
Just a fiew 100 euro s . You can make every hobby as expensive as you wish
That was very inconsiderate of you to do to others.
Regressing by being in a relationship with a pet? Yes it’s low demand because being in a relationship with most people is a psychotic experience that takes a toll on you emotionally and physically, especially if you are a very compassionate person. So pets are much easier and they give you so much in return for nearly nothing. Unconditional love is best experienced through pets. It’s highly therapeutic, can’t say the same about having a relationship with most people.
Dr. Phil's a joke
I don’t think there is anything wrong with these at all, but I agree with the lady who says she prefers the ones with their eyes closed, so do I.
He is so off I have reborn.babies
Yes, he was very judgmental in this episode and it makes me realize what a fraud he is.
Me too one
it’s literally fine. liking rebound are fine. they help a lot of people out there so why’s it matter if it’s “doing too much” it’s what they enjoy.
Same as older men who still are into comics. Children in adult bodies. Grow up.
I think the women in green, is too scared of the dolls maybe she is the one with the problem 😂
We R grown women yes but it’s no bodies business we all better worry about getting in to haven and don’t worry about any thing else ok
Calm down
How did they get the idea to send a comedian to put her 2 cents worth in on the subject? Instead of her how about a real doctor or therapist? This Man is a joke. This is mean. Think of the feelings of these women.
If a man had a massive car collection it’s acceptable but a woman can’t have a doll collection? Some people get obsessed with many things but others can have these as a hobby or collection.
Love this!!!!
No kidding it’s like why not point at the men who are to old to play with
I am a reborn collector! I am obsessed!
I could think of many things worse than collecting dolls. Dr. Phil sounds very condescending.
I think he does to to each their own I collect these dolls I'm not obsessed with them because I put mine down and not touch it for weeks
Those dolls just creep me out.
Then don't watch videos about them.
@@WeAreCaylee I watched one. That was enough for me without your advice.
Thank you!
Mfs like you spreading negativity helps no one
@@emeraldvenus what about leaving them in a car? That hurts people. How can people even look at this as normal?
Dr. Phil is way off the mark. Everyone has something they are passionate about and gives them happiness. What the hell is wrong with that? If we could look into his life we may find out what he "obsesses" about himself. Maybe he shouldn't judge others choices. It doesn't harm anyone so just leave these women alone. Live and let live unless they are hurting others. Maybe Dr. Phil should not make fun of others and mind his own business. And no, I do not have any reborns myself but I do have compassion for others.
I absolutely despise dr Phil. He’s a fucking idiot ass hole. He is rude and condescending. Not even with Reborn’s but other people with mental health issues. He makes jokes like any of it is funny. I loath this man.
I agree 💯
New subscriber here great video💜💖💜💖💜
Thank you hun ❤️
Nice video 😊
Reborn dolls are fun not to play with but its give spirtual feelings and comfort to young and old not childish act i have two reborns so i love them like our own children.
One of most revered, sweetest auntie's (may she test in peace) collected special edition dolls in special outfits. It was her passion and she enjoyed making her show room perfect (walks lined with shelves from floor to ceiling).
It's definitely a hobby. That Stephanie would not make a good friend. "Don't lie".........really? She's a comedian? Not a funny one!
The baby dolls in the corner could be a little smaller. P.S. I Hate Doctor phil.
I honestly don’t understand what the goal of this segment was 🧐
To mock people, as most of Dr. Phil is.
He is sick
Defence on your part?
