Dont listen to other people!!! If someone told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? You parent how you want to if your kids like it then let them don’t let someone whose judgemental control what you give your child
Lol i played with them til I was 13 years old & who is she/he to tell you what your baby can or cannot play with your her momma.
If your girls want a doll house instead of a cell phone or makeup and skimpy clothes then heck yea dream house it is 10 or 25 merry Christmas girls lol
Tell Karen to hush and mind her own little turds.

Let your daughters play with barbie as long as they want! My sister out grow them earlier than I did. I remember playing till 13/14 years old. There no age limit! If that’s what they like and want then let them. No need into pushing our children to grow up any faster than they already do.
Well I pray my daughter plays with Barbie’s at 10 lol I think little girls now days are so rushed into being grown up I was 10 and playing Barbie’s and I really wish my daughter keeps playing with barbies and keep her innocence as long as she can

I had barbies til I was almost 12! If that’s what they ask for then what’s the problem?! Let them live. Your friend should keep her rude comments about it to herself!
I was playing with barbies and bratz until 12ish. And who cares if it isn’t “age appropriate” if they enjoy it??

What should they want, then? Ipads and cellphones? Let them enjoy being children while they still can. Get the dreamhouse.
I played with Barbies up until I was at least 12. And honestly, it’s not anyone’s business what your kids want. If they want it and it makes them happy, buy it.

I was 13-14 still playing with Barbie’s, but times have changed. I was really innocent until my 30’s compared to people these days. I say go for whatever makes your children happy!! No one is ever too old to use their imagination and play. I got to the park almost every day with my 3 kids and play tag… I’m 40.
I believe I played with barbies until I was about 12 years old so yes they are!
My 13, 11, and twin 10 year olds still play barbies!
My 7 and 10 year old have a dream house
They got it last year and haven’t skipped a day playing with it. They also have baby dolls.
If they like it , its age appropriate.
I say if the girls want it then that is ok. I played with barbies til is was around 15 years old. I used to play with my baby brother and it is ok. The longer they still young in mind the better it is.
I’m buying my almost 3yr old Barbie’s for Christmas, though I’m taking the shoes and jewellery off and out of the sets until she is 5, but my 8 and a half yr old is excited that she is getting Barbie’s with her sister to share from mum and dad,
Um i just bought my 8 year old a really nice barbie dream house and my 9 year old plays with it with her… Id say let your child be a child for as long as they can… Hell my 8 and 9 year old still believe in santa lol
I played with barbies till likr 12/13?

I think it’s fine! If they still want to play with them let them. They grow up too fast these days
Yes age appropriate. I gave them away right before my 13th birthday
I would let my girls play with barbies as long as they want to. It’s not my choice to tell them to grow up. They’ll do that fast enough on their own… my girls are 4, 9, 10 & 12 and my younger girls play with Barbies still and occasionally catch my 12 year old playing with them.
What’s more age appropriate? Chokers and iPhones? Get the kid a Barbie!

I was still playing with Barbie at that age and even past that age. Each kid has different interest at different ages. If she likes them get them
I would let my child play with dolls till they were 20 if they wanted to,they are young for only a short time, I have a couple of granddaughters that love playing with them but don’t want friends to know because they will be teased about it.Thats shameful .
rubbish your girls are at a great age to have fun with barbies etc
I would buy wht they asked for if not cost prohibitive
You should be thankful they’re playing w barbies instead of being curious about age appropriation. If that’s what makes them happy so be it! They’re only young once.

This is the age where she can actually play with them, fashion wise. Dress them up. Do their hair… yes younger girls can play too but this age is perfect. Most 10 yr olds have phones now. Enjoy the time.

Those who are telling you that your daughters are too old, are telling you that they don’t buy toys that aren’t going to be played with for at least 5-6 years. My parents did the same to me as I approached the transition stage of wanting to play with my dolls and wanting to play records on my “HiFi.” If they want Barbie and her accessories, let the girls enjoy them, if only for a short time. You know your girls best. Follow your own instincts! It’s been 60+ years since I was told I was too old for dolls and I still remember the disappointment of that Christmas morning.
