Children handling your dolls?

I have a 11 year old daughter and 1,5 year old son. My kids handle my doll. But I supervise their.

 

when I would have my doll (I don't own one yet, I am going to order my first within 2 weeks), I would...

NOT let strange children touch her. They may watch.
and I don't think I would let my cousins touch her. I have seen how they play with other things and objects (and even my puppy dog), and they are far from careful.

I just don't trust children.

 

No! Nooo! and NO!
Last week I went to my auntie's house and I bought both Kein and Daigo with me to show her, because she hadn't seen them since I got them on my birthday. From across the room I saw my 4 year old cousin just eyeing up Daigo...I just gave her and shake of my head and a glare and she knew not to go near them. Even my little brother is the same. He kinda goes 'I'm just looking!' I'm like yeah LOOK but DO NOT TOUCH! loool and have you noticed that when you are out and about and you got your doll in your arms, that only children notice what your carrying?

 

I've never let much of anyone handle my doll.. haha, I'm scared of them dropping her to be honest XD Maybe I'll be more open to others holding her without me 2inches away some day~

 

you guys are lucky. i have never met a decent kid in my life. the last encounter i had with a kid was her stealing the dolls and hiding in the guest room, painted them (i had been explaining the different ways of customization to her dad) he ended up with green feet and the other a full face-up that ruined the faceup i had spent hours on the night before.
the boys' feet are now stained green.
i cannot stand children at all, and now, even when i walk around the mall with my resins, i watch every kid close bye watching for their theiving hands. i'm paranoid i swear.

 

I recently let my niece take my two lati white babies with her!
And their still doing fine, being hella spoiled rotten. But they're all good! ^^

 

I don't have a doll yet, but the little kids I'm around frequently are my younger cousins (ages 3-5), and I probably will not let them hold my future doll until they're a little more mature. As for touching the doll, that will probably be okay (when I'm in the room).
When they come to my house they love running to my room and playing with my stuffed animals (Some people try to tell me I'm too old for them, but hey, they're fluffy, cute, and look nice when displayed on my bed), which I think is adorably cute, but they're fairly rough with my things, so a doll wouldn't be as okay. (What made me laugh really hard the other day was when my 3 year old cousin was taking out all my cat plushies to play with, stopped, looked around my room, and said to me, "Wow, you have a lot of things, *insertmynamehere*" )

 

i wouldnt let any random person hold my doll, kid or not. when my cousins come over to stay next year (age 2 and 4) when im not playing with my girls theyre being WELL HIDDEN!

if i knew them, sure. if theyre in the doll hobby, fine

but to be honest, id even be wary of letting my relatives hold them! i even got irked when my friend held coco's head. i was so nervous he'd drop it

 

The only persons who are allowed to touch my dolls are my mom and my younger sister (who is 23) and both are doll collectors, so I can trust them.

No child will ever touch my dollies!

 

I have a four months old son and my doll is on her way home... I'l have to see how I handle this,but for first she will be well hidden, I think... After all he adores to throw everything on the floor...
When he grows older, maybe I'll let him hold her, when i am around...

 

neverrrr!!

From what I've seen of tiny tots, They're brutal D:!

Even my own SISTER (older than me, mind you) Grabbed the face of my friends dolls D:

Like wut.

Unless i tell them to like.. touch a foot, or something xD

 

I would never let them handle Himeno, just because i'm paranoid they'd break him. My little sister is okay to touch him when i'm around, but I won't let her handle him. I've entertained the idea of letting my brother help me with posing him, because he suggests good pose ideas. But otherwise, no I don't like children handling Himeno.

 

Kids. Yikes. I love kids, but as far as playing with my dolls? I'm insanely picky. My oldest nephew is allowed to hold my tiny and work with her, since he does know how to be careful and he understands I'd wring his neck if he broke her. xD The younger ones aren't allowed to. My SD-sized doll is off-limits to... pretty much everyone, regardless of age. My mother can when she's around, and other people who own BJDs and know how to handle them, but most definitely NOT children. Not just because of breakage, but he's modded and I'm afraid the kids would damage the mods. (He's also got his bits blushed, and invariably the kids want to run around showing off the genitals.)

 

My job the past two summers was babysitting a 7 year old girl and 3 year old girl. After I got Shoko I'd bring her to work sometimes. Both loved to look at her but neither wanted to play with her... I did offer to let them hold her and stuff but they refused o.O

But, as far as children handling my dolls, I think I'm fine if I know the child to be someone who's not going to rip my girls apart and as long as I'm present ((i'd die if I heard others were handling my girls without me there))

 

No... just plain no. My family is full of psychopaths... apparently the gene was passed from parent to child. My cousins, nieces and nephews are insane.

 

I learned it the hard way! I will never let another Little Kid Touch my doll again.

 

I'm not very big on allowing little kids to be anywhere near my dolls. My mom tries to make me show them to friend's of the families daughters but I refuse. Why should I trust a 5 year old who can barely keep hold of a juice box to hold my precious resin kid??? It's not that I don't like children, I just know they're rather destructive @_@

 

sorry, my post some how douibled

 

it all depends on the kid i think. I am of course, only 13 so i guess i am a kid. but people say i am very responsable and well mannered for my age. The kids at my school, peers, lmao. NO WAY. they are all evil and wouldnt care is she broke. but i would let my little brother and i know a few little kids that are gentle. It all depends. If a little kid with sticky, grimy,greasy, or in anyother way unclean hands came up, no. But if a sweet little kid comes by and loves my doll and the parents are there, stable environment, sure i would, i would ask her/him to go on the grass and sit down just in case but sure. kids arnt always bad, though they can be nasty lil suckers.

 

i've only let to kids hold my girl. and i'm not sure if i ever will again. they were two girls i nannied over the summer. the youngest was very careful, she cradled moth as if she was a real baby, it was so cute her older sister who you'd think would be just as careful, dropped moth. i'm very skiddish about letting children even know that i have dolls now.
