60 minutes tonight was about motherhood. they talked about surrogates, and birthing options, nursing -the usual things associated with having a baby.
But then, there was a story about Reborns. Baby dolls that are made to look like real babies. People pay anywhere from $500 to $2,000 for these dolls!
Here comes the crazy part: some people who buy these dress them up and take them to the park and on walks in strollers and act as though they are real babies!
Weird.
What made me really sad about it though was the interview with one of these women who pretend like they are real babies. This lady said they were so great because you had all of the good things about babies with none of the bad. no changing diapers, no crying, and they stay babies forever.
I just thought to myself, is she crazy? The best part of having babies is being able to comfort them when they cry, seeing them smile and laugh and watching them grow. Sure changing diapers isnt all that great, but everything else makes up for that. Babies are so wonderful in all that they do how could anyone think that a life like doll could be better than the real thing?
Sad. Really.
One last thing, they had a story about nursing which i'm all for, but please people, do not nurse your children until they are 8 or 9 years old! Don't you think that is a little too old?
okay, enough rambling for tonight....

Oh man, I saw this same special...weird and creepy if you ask me. Actually most all of the segments weirded me out. That same line about all the good things about a baby really stuck in my mind too, how sad. There isn't a bad thing about a newborn...even the lack of sleep is all worth it :), don't ya think :). Well, I hope you're getting some sleep!
