Saw this and thought of this thread...


We have a Haba doll (Nelle) for our son, got it for his second Christmas (16 months) from BabaMe online. She is lovely often played with and usually naked! He also has a pushchair (ironic given he was hardly ever in one!) and as much gender neutral stuff as I can find in both clothing, toys and books. Books with strong heroines are also very important to me and it is a bugbear of mine that due to my inability to drive he totally associates driving with men! I will definitely explain I'm an exception to the rule on that score when the time comes!

Hey just to say I have a 20m old boy who has a doll, he likes feeding it etc, isn't the most exciting toy for him but he does like it & I'm pregnant so we talk about mummy's baby a fair bit too. In terms if which one it is, it's a smaller than life size one but he refuses to put its clothes on so it just has its cloth body.

Just get a cheap one & see if he likes it?

Thanks again - and bluesuperted, I like the way you think! When someone gave my boy a book of construction vehicles for his first birthday, I was somewhat bemused, but it immediately became his favourite and he knew the names of all of them within about two weeks. Big shock for my husband too, who hates cars, refuses to drive (despite having a licence) and was not expecting this.


Good suggestion too mrs f; I think he still has no idea what I'm on about when I talk about the baby, but I'm not too worried about that at this stage. April might as well be next century, as far as he's concerned!

I think I want a haba doll...for myself!


My boys (3 and 1) have a couple of dolls - we have a charlie (as in Charlie and lola) and a haba-esque rag boy doll. They are both pretty much ignored, sadly, and 1 yr old pushes duplo block around in his dolly buggy....

Cornelia, my son now thinks everyone has babies in their tummies, including himself... It's gonna be slow progress getting there but we talk about it a every day, I even got him to kiss the bump the other day but since then all requests for affection have been met with bye baby!

The doll can't harm, your son may like it even more when your baby comes along, ask someone to get him one for Xmas?

Ours came from his grandmas house as she has a stash of toys.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
