Is it normal i bought a fake baby

eh, most would get a dog or cat, but hey, if it helps.....

I had three kids and I loved them so much but they grew up and never bother with their old man. I want that baby back to look at her and love her if even plastic. She will never grow up and that is what I wanted.

theres a shop near me that has them and one day i walked past and looked in the window and there was 2 newborn monkeys dressed as babies in a bassinet ...startlingly real
it made me want one and i dont want to touch a monkey or even be near one... anyhow i went in to ask how much ...$899 she said..
each fur strand individually poked into the vinyl.. weighted for realism . and eyes of venetian glass,
i left them there but the next day they were gone
i thought you might be interested ...all the best with your doll

I have nothing bad or sarcastic to add here.

Do what makes you happy

Ah, there's something that I find quite endearing about your post, even though I can't stand children of any stage.

If you missed out on something so major in your life or feel like you have, and making up for it now by doing something unharmful to nobody.... Do your thing! No one has a right to judge, but can express their thoughts of course.

Pity it wasn't a real one. Then I could tap it's ass.

Its not wrong but it can't really be considered normal either - you already know this or you wouldn't be doubting yourself. Will you be showing your baby doll to others ? If not, then this may become a big problem for you, like a bad secret and will cause you more pain than joy. You sound a caring person who is just lonely- and I would encourage you to socialise more and find live company. There's a big hole in your life that dolly won't fill unfortunately...good luck x

You aren't hurting anyone, i think it's sweet. My grandma had a baby doll she liked to hold, my mom put a hot water bottle in the dolls diaper to make it feel warm for my grandma. My grandma knew it was a doll but she liked that we kept it warm, just a tip. We loved my grandmother very much she just liked babies more, we all understood, she wanted to rock and hold the baby. Don't worry what others think.

I've always preferred real life cats and dogs to dolls of any kind. I remember when I was seven years old and we got my first puppy home. She almost immediately bit off my Superstar Barbie's arm, pooped on the Persian rug whereupon I accidentally sat in the puppy poo. Believe it or not it was a really good day, because I got my new puppy. Right now I'm lying on the couch with my Siamese cat on my lap and he infinitely more fun than any inanimate object I could own.

i heard a story from a friend who told me that she knows a woman who brought the fake baby and after few months the baby sometimes talked to her and sometimes in demonic voices. thats what she told me. poor woman probably lost her mind.
you may consider getting help.

That sounds very sweet! The thought of an older gentleman caring for a baby doll fills me with all kinds of warm and fuzzy feelings. I admire you for doing what makes you happy, sir.
