When, or if you do have children, do you intend to give your dolls away to them?

i guess it depends. cuz i have no idea how long i will love, or keep full focus on my doll, or anyone of my doll. maybe i will not that into doll or any one of my doll in future. then i will do consider about give them to my children-- in case i have. XDDD
and also, i may never give up or fade this hobby, then i will not give my doll to my children. they can, as you said, earn themselves a doll if they love dolls. hope so, then we can play together~~

 

To me... if my OC is my doll, I won't be giving them away to my children/grandchildren. It's better that if they can get attached to their own, if they ever get interested in dolls.

 

Im not really planning on having kids. But if I do and they get interested in BJD's then we will see.

 

I really hope so! It all depends on a lot of things though. Age, maturity, cleanliness, interest, income... eh. I'll start by giving them one and seeing how that goes. I'd love to share this all with my kids.

 

I also hope this is something I can share with my kids someday. Right now they are too small, so I keep my dolls away from them, in a safe place. I don't intend to exactly give mine away, as they are personal to me and customized to my taste, but maybe they can have their own when they are old enough if they get into it.

 

If they show an interest in dolls and get to the ages where they can properly take care of them, sure! ^^

 

I would not give my girl Luka as I adore her very much, my other girls Marina and Violet are a maybe since they didn't cost as much.

 

Well, right now they are 4 years old so no, not anytime soon. In general? Probably not, but I could easily have another 50 years on this planet and it might change. I do have a few dolls - none BJDs - that were bought specifically with the thought of giving them to my daughters one day so maybe them.

 

My daughters like my dolls, but have never shown any interest in having any as their own. My granddaughters are more likely candidates for getting them!

 

I'm actually not sure what will happen to my dolls, since it's not clear how long they last on average if treated well. Will they still be around by the time I expire? Who knows... No plans for kids though, so that's certainly not where they're going.

 

only if my dolls approve of them and my kids(if I ever have any) are trustworthy with them.

 

If they show an interest in them, maybe I could pass them on OR just buy them a new one ^^

 

Nah. If they showed interest in the hobby I would support them with a bit of financial help, but my dolls are mine.

Also, there was just an awesome sense of satisfaction of finally obtaining a doll after working hard to save up for one. Wouldn't want to take that sort of moment from them, ha-ha.

 

I don't plan on giving my dolls away but I would love if when my daughter is older she loves BJD's as much as I do and it is something we can share together

 

My daughter is 12 going on 13 and until EXTREMELY recently thought BJDs were cool but was content with her American Girl and her Pullip doll. She's now decided that she wants to have her own though, and since I just ordered a 5Stardoll Super for myself during their summer event, I let her pick the free tiny. That will be her first BJD, and judging by how well she cares for the dolls she already has I have no doubt that she'll take great care of her. But as for when she gets MY dolls? Not giving them to her. She can build her own collection if she wants to. I think it will be really fun to share the hobby with her as she gets older, and hopefully a common interest will help keep us close as she heads into the difficulties of being a teenager, but my dolls are mine and she wouldn't want them anyway. (I prefer mature/realistic looking SD size dolls; she likes little, cute, and anime-style.)

 

If I ever had children and they show interest in some of my dolls [mere future ]. I'll just give them my doll and buy a new one for me, if I ever lost my interest on that doll. If they like my doll's sculpt and I liked it. I'll just make them earn or buy the same sculpt they want [or other dolls just in case if they got discontinued]

 

My own mother is not the artistic type (actually she knows nothing about anything that deals with hand crafting things) and she can't understand the value of my dolls the same way she never understood why it's so important to me to have expensive good quality art materials instead of some cheap child's aquarel. I think if she was a bit less rational and enjoyed a bit of art, we'd be more closer.

So, if my children were inclined to art stuff and had interest for my dolls, I'll certanly support them by giving at least the first basic doll. The next one they should earn by themselves and no, I would never give my own dolls to them (the only exception would be if I decided to sell something and they got interested). We would go through the hobby together, therefore she'd have to enjoy even the bitter part of saving high amounts of money to buy what she wants, as it was for me. I do think it would be pretty fun to do this together! I'ts easier when your parents not just understand your hobby, but also participate on it and I would be really glad if my children share the same hobby as me!

 

My daughter already has one BJD that I act as caretaker for, a grey Pipos Dali named Raffles after a per rabbit we owned who is no longer with us.
If anything happened to me, I would happily pass my dolls n to her

 

I recently became a mother, though i think i won't give my dolls to my daughter.
But i will buy her own dolls. Maybe she would like animals, like DollFastory mouses, or other pets.

 

I just gave birth to my daughter and I trully hope she will like dolls. I really look forward to help her choose her very first BJD doll. Hopefully, a MSD size like mine, so we can exchange clothes, accessories, etc. But if she chooses a smaller size doll, I'll just use this opportunity as an excuse to buy myself a new doll the same size as my daughter's.

My son is 2 years old and very calm and delicate with his toys, gentle around his sister, he whisper with his voice, etc. I am hopeful that my daughter, by the age of 3 or 4 , will have the same gentle personality, and can handle a fragile doll. Otherwise, I will patiently wait until she is ready.
