It depends, do your kids still behave and act like kids, or are they wearing crop tops and heels? YOU decide what’s age appropriate. Not your friends. If my girl wants a Barbie at ten, I’m buying her a Barbie at ten. I’ll take Barbie over boyfriends.
My oldest will be 9 this month and still plays with Barbies ALL the time!
5-10 or 11 seems like the typical range for Barbie play.

That IS age appropriate. Also, I kept my kids kids for as long as possible. However, my 15 year old towers over me and wants a dirt bike more than LEGO’s this year darn it.

I would be happy at that age they still want one. So many girls are trying to be all grown up way too fast these days.
There’s nothing wrong with a girl any age to want to play pretend with a doll. 
Hell all those years ago when my girls were younger than that they had barbies absolutely loved them dont listen to anyone just let them be little girls
Seriously? Let them be kids.

I have a daughter who loves her kitchen and Barbie play house, she’s 7 and I won’t get rid of it anytime soon because I loved that stuff when I was a kid and never had much of it. I played with my only doll I had until I was 13 and the only real Barbie I got I received when I was 10, it’s still in the box and I’m 38!
Barbies are totally acceptable don’t take her imagination away

If they like barbies, they can play with barbies imo
The recommended age starts at 8 for Barbie’s. I’ve always given them younger but 8 is the age it says on the box.

🤦. Let kids be kids. And let them be little for as long as possible. Cause we all know that growing up sucks and once they do grow up they don’t have that same imagination as they do when little.

Kids grow up way too fast. Let them continue being kids as long as they want! Unless they are in their 30’s living in their parents basement!

My granddaughter liked dolls until she was 11.
What does your friend find appropriate? A phone? Stripper pole?? I mean these are little girls. I about cried when my oldest daughter gave up barbies and bratz dolls. Please allow them to be children as long as they choose… and tell your friend to mind her own business!!

I played with barbies until 12 or 13. My daughter is 10 and played with her barbies and dream house this weekend. Fuck her! If your girls said that’s what they wanted, then get them what they want! Tell that bitch to shove it up her ass! She’s not the fucking barbie police.
My daughter upon hearing this: “Yeah. No one is the barbie police. Not even the real police.”
I played with barbies til I was 12
That’s because we live in a society of parents who would rather have their children glued to a smart phone. Parents FYI Snapchat is not age appropriate at that age! I played with barbies at that age, let her enjoy her innocence for as long as she can. Social media is destroying youth while parents stand by and find it acceptable.

NO, Barbie’s are cool. The dream house sounds like a wonderful gift to me.
My sisters played with bratz and monster high dolls until they were 12 and 13 years old. The younger one still has all of her monster high dolls at 16 years old.
Imo…this is why kids don’t know how to play , interact, and just try to be a kid! LET KIDS BE KIDS!!!

I’d ask the friend when her daughter turns 15 or 16 and is pregnant if she’s glad her daughter was “too old” to play with barbies. Or, “isn’t she too young to be playing with boys?”

Smh ignore unsolicited advice. If your child wants to play with something as innocent as a barbie then by all means encourage it. Would they rather get them makeup and high heels? Stfu and let children be CHILDREN! You’re fine, Mama, don’t worry.

I am an artist. Unfortunately thats because i was told i was too old to play and my brain was full of imagination. I “played” until about 13-14. I had younger siblings.
My ten yr old asked for one 🤷
Your children, your choices. If that’s what they want, why not? Especially if they have younger cousins or younger neighbors to come over and play, the more the merrier. My girls are that age and still play with their cousins and big doll houses
Too old would be upwards of 12-13 years old. Barbies are perfect for 8-10!
I think girls that age still like Barbie’s.
Tell your friend you want your children to grow up in their own time, before long they’ll be jumping out the car with out a goodbye to go catch up with their friends who they only saw a few hours ago.
My daughter is 9 and still plays with.
I just got my nieces Barbies for there 8th and 10th birthday( there birthdays are two days apart) it’s was a big hit,there favorite gifts out of everything.
Not at all. Let kids be kids as long as they can. Being a teenager sucks.
