I am not a parent yet, but I am against boys playing with dolls ... period. Dolls are associated with feminine things and I just don't think boys should be combing hair and burping the baby like a little girl. However, I think a boy should be allowed to play with a stuffed animal as a baby and a toddler. But after 1 or 2 years old I think the stuffed animal should be stored away.
We were at a restaurant and this little boy (who appeared to be 5 or 6 at the most) had lost his teddy bear. His father drove him back to the restaurant to find this bear (we overhead the conversation). The waitresses searched high and low. The little boy was in tears. They finally found it and it was a sigh of relief for him.
Is it me or is he too old to be playing with stuffed animals? Before any of you parents get upset with me, I don't mean any harm. I am just stating my opinion.
