1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Owner frustration

Aug 10, 2010

    1. I'm afraid to go to a meetup since the area where I live in is generally populated by doll owners way out of their 20s. I only know one other girl who is around my age. I'm very intimidated by the "adults" who are all independent and able to work on their own to earn their dolls. I still have to depend on my parents, and I worry I may not be able to get along with other doll owners simply due to differences of problems. Of course, they've probably all been in my shoes at one time or another, but they may not care as much.

    2. I don't really mind staring all that much. I took one of my boys into the restaurant at the Jerome Grand Hotel (I certainly wasn't about to leave him in the hot car!!), and got gawked at through most of my meal. :lol:

      Rudeness, though? NOT cool. It seems that most people don't understand the definition of the word "tact", and just blurt out anything that pops into their head. I also really DON'T like people arguing with me about how much they think one of my boys looks like a girl. That's happened a LOT, and I'm really quite sick of it. Honestly, they're going to see what they want to see and if he looks like a girl to them, fine. But nagging at me and arguing, trying to get me to agree? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. For the record, I'm not talking about people at meets.

      The age thing, I'm a bit torn on. I'm 28, and the simple fact is, I honestly don't have anything in common with people who are still in highschool, or even younger college students. At meets it would be a different story, since we would at least have dolls to talk about, but... still. Like I said, torn.

    3. I'm #2 in the old biddy listing of our group, hehe, and I have to say I feel pretty lucky in that we have a good group of people who all gel really well in conversation and are capable of talking about dolls like mature people with opinions differ, and we start at the late teens/early 20's. I know I enjoy seeing you at meets.

      I'm 29 and I know I generally skew as much younger than that when people meet me - I recently had a coworker ask me if I was able to legally drink when I mentioned going to parties - but I'm fine with socializing with people of most ages. Well, not small children, but beyond that I am sure we could find something to talk about. I think situations with other people are what you make of them. If you go to a meet and feel uncomfortable, people are going to pick up on that. A lot of people make it an issue about people not being friendly with them because of their dolls, but I know for a fact that at meets I have gone to, it's had nothing to do with dolls the people I don't interact with. It's how they present themselves and act, and more a matter of personality.
