Why I am switching to authentic reborn kits only? It's Not what you think.

I love how young women try to lecture me about having the right not to be with your kids 24/7 when I would give anything to have my time with my beautiful boys back to where I got sick. Except not to be sick this time. I wasn't sick because I was defective I was sick because of my ex-husband and his long arms. If you don't want to be a mommy 24/7 then get a doll, not a living, breathing child. You can leave a doll without attention, hugs, or love, or your presence for days and nothing will happen, physically or emotionally, but a real child needs your love and attention every day, YES 24/7 365 days a year. They don't realize how mommies who lost time with their children would love it back, every single moment. I had a maternal instinct since I was little, I always watched and protected the children in the playground, I was a little mommie, lol I do understand you have to work because of the times today... but don't try to lecture me about not wanting to be with your child "alllll the time" and having the right to some freedom.... I couldn't wait to get home to my babies. I was watching the clock to when I will be with them again. Yes, no matter how tired I was. Now my Phoebe is my comfort, my boys are grown and don't remember how much I loved them, I loved being a mommy with my whole heart, even though I still am working on my doll, I already love her, but she is not alive and I know it. She is a doll. Most reborn artists make their dolls heavy to be more realistic, but because of my health I could not have a heavy doll. I could not give a real child the attention it needs now, I am too old, and in too much pain, but I can still pour out the love in my heart. Yes, I love my doll. Partly because I am the one creating her, painting her, picking out her eye color, her hair, etc. I can't have a pet, because I am allergic to animal dander and I can't walk it because of my spine, it would be selfish to get a dog and not walk it every day.. But I can get comfort from Phoebe. I can hold her and get her cute princes dresses and make crochet and knitted things for her. I also have an Arianna kit she is lovely and a wopping 28 inches long. Below is my Phoebe, she is now getting rooted hair, lashes and brows.
