Families knowing the cost of dolls

I am still to get the money for it and since I cant work, my mom DOES need to know why I keep putting money on a piggy when I never did it at all XD

But since I dont even spend 600 € in cloths for myself in the period of THREE YEARS or more, my mom almost has an heart attack each time she seems me counting pennis.

 

I've told my parents about it, but my friends have no idea. xD Whenever my darling, John, talks about how expensive my hobby is, he'll usually ask how much Kate was.
"Uhhh... I have to go. I'll be back soon. >>" is my usual reply.

One thing I don't tell my parents about is the exact price before I buy the doll. I sort of play that down... ^^;

 

Yeah, where's the category for "I lie about the price?" ... ^_^;

If my parents knew the real price, they would freak out, and I'm 21.

For example: My SD Megu? I paid $600, my Mom thinks it was $400. My Dad has no clue... and it has to stay that way. ^_^;

 

I know how you feel,Fathers can be a real pain when it comes to stuff like this,i know MY father would react just the same way if he ever found out...But im not planning on telling him the price of these Dolls...Ever...

 

I tell them the price...they freak out. The common reply: *squinty look* "Why in the f*$#! are they so expensive? Why would you pay that much? It's a doll!"

Dude, they just don't understand, man D:

 

I'm 23 and thankfully my mum is very understanding she knows it's my money, and i spend it how i want. We have our own house, and our own things I have no debts apart from the mortgage, so if i want to treat myself i can ^^

My familly love Morgan because she's so unusual and pretty.

 

well, i think i would only tell them the price when they asked for it, but i wouldn't tell them the real price. they would make a huge fuss if they do know the real price.

it seems that me and my family members have very huge differences in view of what is considered "cheap" and what is considered "expensive".

 

My parents know real prices, because I pay with their PayPal account. Of course they think that this is expensive (who wouldn't think that?), but they say that I would spend my money to something worse. My mom still says that buying many dolls -like over six or something- is waste of money.

 

I told my daddy the price of the dolls - hell, I don't think he cares 'cause it's not like he has the spare change to get me these things anyway. Sigh.

 

My mum knows the price of all the dolls I've bought, as she's helped me settle on names for them while I waited for them to come in. This involved going to the site and looking at the site pictures.... which of course meant she saw the prices. The only time she's ever said anything about the price, is if I'm debating on taking one of my boys somewhere, she'll say something to the effect of "Think what's going on. Do you really want to bring something that expensive with you?"

I think the main reason she doesn't have a problem with how expensive they are is because I've always bought 100% of my doll stuff myself. I've only asked her for $20 for one once, and she just told me to consider it her "grandson's birthday gift".

 

Oh what a question! XD
My ma knows roughly how much my doll was - and I can remember the conversation
"Oh Doc I've found this amazing doll! She's ever so pretty and beautiful and-
"What's the price?"
"Oh, er." *cough*"450pounds"*cough*
*sigh*

Dad doesn't know. All he asked was "You DO know that it's 2 ft tall, right?"

 

As long as I'm saving up for what I should be saving for (gas money for when I get my liscense, saving in general so I have something when I go to college, etc.) my parents don't mind too much about the cost. However, I hate it when my mom tells my other family members the cost. She doesn't mean anything by it, just honestly answering their question or mentioning it in a way that implies "See, she can save money, *laugh*." (When I was younger I spent my allowance very quickly, and my family teased me about it.) Even so, most of my extended family is having financial problems right now, so I feel weird that they know I just spent $700 on a luxury item when they are cutting back on their spending so drastically. The worst was when my grandmother said "Woah, that would be an entire social security check for me." She didn't mean anything harsh by it, it was just a comment, but I don't think she realized that her knowing the cost bothered me. (After I got him she said something like "Oh he's gorgeous. He's definitely worth it," which made me feel a bit better >w<).

 

My mom helped buy my first resin doll so she has always known exactly how much they cost. My dad we let in on later, he took it okay because he sees them as a form of investment. Most dolls don't devalue unless you hurt them so he's fine with them. It also helps that my aunt collects limited edition barbies and has a room entirely devoted to them.

 

I'm an adult, but my dad would still flip, so I don't tell him. His partner knows, but is wise enough not to say anything...

 

i told them its only 100 >.< and that's 70USD

 

My mom has always known, but my dad doesn't even know I'm in the hobby. XD He would have a complete heart attack. Seriously. But if anyone asks me, I tell them. Most of my friends know though.

 

My mom knows it's not cheap. I have hinted on how expensive they are. However, we never brought it up front and she never really demand an answer and I keep the price to myself.

 

My parents know, my mom has to because I trade her cash for her using her credit card to buy them for me

 

I am 52 years old and my husband does not know how much they cost. He likes them, though and it is my money, after all. My human kids grew up and moved out. So now I won't have that happen with my new kids. I am already getting them for granchildren that haven't arrived yet. How cool is that.

 

It varies for the family member... my aunt was pretty interested so I showed her a few websites and she knows how much they cost, as does my uncle. I told my mum they were really *really* expensive, but I said I wouldn't tell her how much, and she respects my privacy and the fact it's my own money. My stepdad thinks it's my own money and doesn't mind, but suggested that I shouldn't go buying any more for a while. X3 My dad I haven't even seen since I got my first doll, so I haven't bothered mentioning it to him yet. That's pretty much everyone in my family, I don't think the others would be all that interested. ^^

Actually, my flat-mates are sort of like family, I guess, and most of them know how much the dolls cost and vary between thinking they're freaky (only one flatmate, thank goodness) and presumably not worth the cost, while two of the others have actively encouraged me, even regarding the cost.
