Reborn Babies at the Mall and Negative Reactions - Doll Break Ep. 851

[@sophiemarie8788]

Best advice i have ever been given "You do not have to explain yourself to anyone, what you do you do, long as it dont cause harm to yourself or anyone else"

[@aproverbshome173]

Sorry everything we do affects others! Look at our nation.

[@jonasfan2907]

Why can’t people just let us live? My babies help me cope with so much and I want to take them everywhere and I feel like I have I hide them. It’s awful. People go out with their pets and overpamper them all the time, these dolls do the same thing for us. People need to mind their business and respect others lives. I strive to have your confidence!

[@sofiamochon-ciniglio4010]

whaleliam I agree... It is like therapy! I have considered the idea of this hobby as a therapeutic option along with my regular therapy.

[@e.j.thomas9994]

Likewise with my Charlie Bears Teddies! My motto is : A bear with everything! Where I can't take one of my big bears with me, I have my bag buddy bear, and a bear on my keyring as well. My bears help me cope with life, as I was born with ADHD and higher functioning autism. If other people think we're wierd... then screw them! We're not hurting anyone, are we? Personally, I have lots of fun taking my cubs on adventures. I've even taken some of my cubs to my meet & greets, with the international band Il Divo. ( They loved them, because it was so different.) Some people have nicknamed me the bear lady, and i love it! Be you!

Jashua looks so real. I'd love to see a realistic doll like that in public. Its like art and truly you guys know they are dolls so showing them off isn't weird to me. As a collector myself * of figures and rare manga.* I honestly get it. I hope you get positive attention more than negative. Just because they aren't alive doesn't mean they aren't beautiful.

[@weebiedolls]

You guys are so fun I might actually get brave enough to bring one out in public if I had more friends like you guys! .... lol that lady thinking we all have these dolls because we don’t have kids? I have three biological children, four permanent foster children and have fostered 21 children in total (not at the same time! Lol) as well as I was a nanny before I had kids and did home daycare before I fostered. I definitely do not have reborns because of a lack of real children in my life! I have them because I have a deep incredible love of babies and dolls and it’s so relaxing and fun! We don’t have to explain ourselves to people that just only believe what they want to believe.

[@LifewithKrystle]

Yes it got to the point that I stopped answering because I realized she didn’t get it and I was ready to move on lol.

i have children as well and I LOVE my Dolls. I am SO glad to see I am not the only one. My SO keeps telling me that he thinks I am going threw some kind of mental break down or having my early woman stuff happening. I am 30......lol. People don't and wont understand.

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

But why would it be more offensive to be seen as having Reborns bc you don’t have children? Is it bad or shameful to not have children?

[@weebiedolls]

@@Danielle-nz9tn no it’s definitely not shameful to not have children. But it’s irritating when people think that’s the reason or the only reason we are in this hobby. Many of us have kids and many of us don’t. Some people use the dolls as therapy and many (most) of us just like dolls and enjoy the artistry of them. Neither is shameful or wrong. It’s just annoying when people make assumptions about us. I think doll collectors get a bit of a bad rap sometimes as being a bit crazy so it’s a sensitive topic to some of us. 🤗

I think if you don't like the dolls, then keep it to yourself! I take mine out, but only if people ask I tell them, but other than that, I ignore people staring.... but so far not to negative reactions.

[@e.j.thomas9994]

One person thought I was handicapped, when they saw me out with one of my bears, a while ago. Then she turned to my Mum who was with me at the time, and said " It must be difficult looking after your handicapped daughter!" My Mum replied :"My daughter is normal, and this is her hobby!" The woman walked off, making a wierd face, as though she thought I was brain damaged! : >O

I'm sorry Paula had this negative reaction & I'm glad she past that to come out again. Some people can be rude & disrespectful. This situation could of been dealt with in a much calmer way, Paula didn't deserve this. I'm sorry your day ended this way ❤🇬🇧

[@shyannbarnard3984]

One time I brought my silicone out in public. We went to Walmart just minding our own business. Then this lady and her daughter who looked about 4-5 came up to me. And the mom said to me “honey that is not how you hold a baby you will hurt it.” And I’m like, oh no it’s fine it’s a doll. And she took my doll out of my hand and was walking around with it and was trying to look for my mom to give it to. Then I called over my mom and she said to the lady “why do you have my daughters doll?!” Then the lady was like, oh see your daughter was not holding your baby correctly so it took it so that it would not get hurt. And my mom and I said “ITS A DOLL!!” Then the lady gave me back my doll and said “awww how cute is that doll. Were did you buy it my daughter has been wanting one of those.” And I was like WHAT!!!!! If your daughter wants one then you should have known that mine is JUST A DOLL!!!!!! Uggggggggggg. Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

[@noeytindol5529]

I wondered about your doll habit when I first started watching too. I understood collecting them but couldn't understand taking them out in public. I didn't judge though. I just watched to learn about your niche group. I did wonder how Alex felt about it or if he was afraid of what others would think. I now know he's supportive though.

[@kyleecats2255]

I think that the probing questions were in poor taste, very rude. But, calling out to complete strangers to come look at your doll...I would have shut her down on that. She was trying to validate her own opinion of you by involving other people to agree with her. You explained it very well, but she didn't like that answer. She then tried to prove another opinion of hers...that you take your babies on outings for attention. When someone starts to do that to me, I will tell them that I don't announce it, that if someone says something to me, only then do I let that person know it's a reborn, I am not looking to advertise. I am here, shopping with my girlfriends and would like to get on with that. Don't try to overthink it though. She was trying to guilt you into her mental box, tried to "Dr. Phil" you. You are a stable minded doll collector and a positive person in the reborn community. Also, let your girls know that I love seeing them in your videos.

[@LifewithKrystle]

Thanks Kylee. I basically just stopped responding and then she finally left. Lol With people over the top like her I tend to clam up and not know what to say because they are overpowering. So basically at that point I tried to just ignore it and wait for Paula to rejoin us lol

The other day I was walking around Target with my Reborn baby, Carly.. and some woman approached me and says "May I see your baby?" And I say, "Of course, just so you know, she's a doll" and she goes.. "Is it a school project?" I reply, "No, I'm 20 years old.." Then she just looks at me with THE MOST horrified face and walks away... I've not been able to work up the courage to bring my babies out anymore... :(

Real babies and reborns are nothing alike. Being a reborn mom is really fun and easy! I hope y’all still had a great time even though y’all had some not so good reactions. 💜

I did overhear another patient who saw say I was “wack” and that DA said “it’s no diffrent than you holding your stuffed animal right now. Whatever helps with someone be less anxious”

[@chchmom]

I am sorry you had rude experiences. I think that a doll should never use something that is meant for a child, though. If I was in the food court and needed a high chair for my child and there wasn't one available to me I would be a bit frustrated and may choose not to eat there. If a reborn "mommy" wants to experience a restaurant or food court experience with their doll perhaps they can bring one of those lobster claw clip on seats for their toy so that a real child or parent is not inconvenienced. Also my parenting group brought up an interesting topic recently and it made me think of you Krystle. The group was discussing the fact that vloggers often capture footage of total strangers while they are filming in public places. Some vloggers take the time to blur the faces of strangers but most do not. Have you ever thought about that when you are vlogging in a mall or restaurant?

[@LifewithKrystle]

I can totally see your point however Stephanie is special needs so does do things a bit differently with this hobby. I personally wouldn’t use a high chair for my dolls but to each his own. As for vlogging in public it is way too time consuming to blur out faces of every person in the background. Plus it isn’t any different than taking photos in publish places which people have done for years. It is inevitable when out in public that you may end up in the background of someone’s picture or video. And it is totally legal. When it comes to people we are talking to about the hobby I will ask them if they are ok being filmed or I just won’t film their face, I will film my doll while you hear them talking in the background.

[@chchmom]

Fair enough. I wasn't criticizing Stephanie in any way. Just suggesting an possible solution. (smile) And I agree, to a point, that when a person is out and about they can expect to be photographed on security cameras etc but I would suggest that a vlogger who photographs someone "by accident" is different because they are then posting it on KZbin or some other social media outlet. My parenting group was very much in agreement that this is where the line blurs and becomes more difficult to justify or to argue to the contrary. When I am in Swiss Chalet eating my dinner with my family I don't expect that someone a few tables over may be filming a vlog and catch me unaware slopping sauce down my shirt which then ends up on KZbin for all the world to see. This may become more of a risk or possibility as the number of vloggers increases and as they share their lives on social media. I appreciate that you don't film people who ask not to be filmed but what about people who don't know they are being filmed and who don't have a choice in the matter? I am not being argumentative in any way here, Krystle, as I enjoy your vlogs and watch them quite often. I am just voicing the opinions that many ladies shared in our parenting group on this topic.

[@ceissamed]

I loved your channel! Can we follow each other? My KZbin channel is kzbin.info

[@karns78]

While I agree with you Cheryl, the Truth is that legally there is no expectation of privacy in a public area. This has been held up in court.Now certain stores do not permit filming in the store and that is a different story. Filming would be halted then. Also, how is filming any different than people walking around with the cell phone glued to their ear, chatting unrestrained about their husband cheating or their next door neighbor having a STD.

[@chchmom]

I would suggest that gossiping with a neighbour is not the same as posting a video on social media. Much like the game of "telephone", if I told my neighbour and she told her sister and her sister told her neighbour about the antics of the next door neighbour having an STD, the story would become diluted or altered over time. It is doubtful that it would ever go "viral". Unless the gossip was so juicy that it bore numerous tellings it would undoubtedly die out quickly and the face of the person being gossiped about might only be guessed at. In this case people are being captured on film and then put on social media without their knowledge or consent. I watch many vloggers and it is possible to vlog in a public place without capturing the faces of total strangers. My parenting group has talked about this subject ad nauseum. It may be legal but that doesn't make it right.

[@Bootiesandbonnets]

I love dressing and holding my reborns but I would not feel comfortable taking them out in public. I would expect negative reactions and a lot of questions. My family doesn't criticize me for owning them but they have asked why I like them so much. I have always had that motherly instinct even though my two children are adults. People don't understand how adult women could like reborns and dress them in baby clothes etc. I enjoy mine at home and don't want to be ridiculed. Unfortunately video games are accepted in our society and they aren't beneficial. I will still enjoy my dolls.

Hi Crystal. Yes here I am rewatching this video 3 years later and now I have a huge reborn collection. When I got my BB Ana boy and girl twins I took Parker to Walmart and did an outing video. Omw there the cab driver actually thought he was a real baby. I told him it was a doll. He knew me from previous rides and saw my real children. His comment was very rude. He said that he thought I wanted another baby and that's why I was playing with a doll. Actually, I have 6 kids and a grandchild. I am very much so done having children. This is one of the reasons I collect reborns other than just my love for dolls.

[@luvbug1318]

I don't understand why people are so rude. My dolls help my depression and anxiety. My mom always says if you don't have anything nice to say than don't say anything at all.

[@IvyCoveredAngel]

Sometimes I wish people knew that most of the time the dolls are not to replace kids, tho sometimes for some people they are. I have PCOS (Poly cystic ovary syndrome) which can cause either infertility or make having children a hard time. Pcos ends up causing me extreme stress and depression which is why I have my dolls. I use them to cope because Ik when I decide to try for a baby it will put a lot of mental anguish on me. It’s not to replace a kid but to help cope. For others it’s nostalgia and for some it’s just a calming thing. I really wish people knew that but I doubt most will. We aren’t insane or crazy, we just still like playing with dolls and need a little more love in our lives

So when people ask me inappropriate questions. I always ask, “why do you ask? Or Why do you want to know!” This puts them into the position they are wanting to put you into.

I’m a goth boy and i have a reborn and bjd and I put them in a stroller (I got it at a goodwill in missasaga) people comment about me and my sons and since I’m agnostic I get super religious people yell at me and stuff so it’s nothing new

[@maliturner1772]

0:28 WOW!!!

[@lindsd8734]

All y'alls babies are so cute!!!!! I was wondering how would I go about trying to buy a preemie silicone baby?

[@ShadowDiane]

i have my first reborn showing up hopefully today. I am very excited for my baby to arrive. Hope you are well.

[@monikakamila]

You don’t encounter too many negative.of course I love playing along. “Twins. Congratulations “ 😜

[@NaturalCleanHome]

I'm sorry that she went through experience. I wish for a world of love and understanding! Stay Strong!🥰

[@babypeanutpie]

I'm sorry that you had some bad reactions. It's ok to vent. If someone don't like it, they can stop watching the video and move on. I like to hear, even if it is something negative, because it is interesting to see what people will say and how you will respond.

[@monikakamila]

I just took over your whole comment section here. My weirdest reaction was with this stuffed collie I have on top of the pram. 😂 I just left petsmart in port credit and I was getting my new hamster situated in the carrier in the pram below the boys. All of a sudden this woman comes up behind me and says “I thought there was SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU because of how you’re walking around with that dog”. I was too busy to even really process. She peeks in the pram and said “you do have babies in there” “how old.” I said 3 months 😆 she walked away. I should’ve asked her “should I have the dog on a leash?” clearly there was SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG with that woman 😂

If my husband was there with y'all he would stand up for y'all he doesn't tolerate bullying and he is very supportive of me and my reborns bc he loves them to and understand they help me with my anxiety and depression and they help him with his PTSD, so he is all for supporting the reborn mommies.

[@LifewithKrystle]

That’s so awesome. My husband supports my hobby but he doesn’t like me taking them in public with him because he doesn’t like drawing attention.

[@CraftykelseyBlogspot]

My husband loves the attention it brings, there's several times he grabbed my silicone and goes out with her to Walmart or something, and if someone gave a negative review which no one has...yet, he would tell them off lol

[@LifewithKrystle]

My husband is very shy so I can understand him not wanting the attention

[@hazelc2903]

My wallet will probably be empty after going to a mall😂lol still looks like Joshua had a good time he is so sweet I love baby miss piggy and fozzy bear😍

[@jacquesbrat2834]

I can not contain myself in the Disney Store either! ☺️❤️🛍 I enjoyed your vlog. Your Saskia is so cute. I have had mostly all positive reactions when I’ve been out with my reborns. If people thought other than nice things they kept it to themselves. I tend to be very reserved and I don’t like to have discussions about the dolls. If someone compliments them I usually say thank you and continue on.

[@TeenRebornmom]

I watched this video a while back too. I have my baby girl Zoey bc of one side of my family then I had a miscarriage when I was 19. She majorly helps with that. My best friend asked me why I enjoyed taking her out and getting things for her I told her "bc it gives me a chance to relive my childhood that was taken from me and it makes me feel good and gives me some kind of closure after losing my kid." I mentally and physically can not have a kid rn. She helps me personally with what I lost and my anxiety. Id love to collect more and start reborning as well.

[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

I hope you don't mind that I added a comment or two to the other ladies.. I just feel connected to what they are feeling and I feel like I belong.

[@emilyshaw3015]

I have 2 reborns I take them everywhere I go I get nice comments but sometimes I get rude which makes me sad but I just think people should be nice about tho

[@shawnastarr3605]

Awww that is so sad for the women with a disability💔 I just started in November to collect I have 5 Ashton Drake dolls, I hope to get a reborn someday soon.

[@LeahFlores_]

The stripes look like a navy blue.

[@violet-roselittlestar858]

You can get George clothing online from Asda ( in the UK)

[@e.j.thomas9994]

Where do some people get off?! You guys weren't hurting anyone, were you? Would he still do that if he suddenly discovered she'd also had a real baby too?

[@MothersLovingArmsNursery]

ha ha ha when the guy on the speaker started to talk at walmart, i thought he said i saw you rip that tag! lol

[@moonbeam8487]

Me and my husband were at the edge of canada's water falls. They wouldn't let us all the way in because of stupid covid rules. But maybe we will try again another time in the future but will go on line for the rules and regulations next time and during the summer because it was way to cold when we were their.

[@VampireMom666]

OMG,,,,,,,,,,, LOVE PAULA'S SHORT HAIR

[@LifewithKrystle]

😊

[@miahmichellevance5545]

I really liked your video. This is the first time I've seen it and you ladies were great.

[@MyRealitywithNicole]

Did Paula get a hair cut? It looks nice. As for the lady trying to psycho analyze... It's because of people out there that spread that is the only reason. It's great and OK if that is their reason, but I'm sick of those doing it for fun but when people ask that's their reason.

[@infiniteasmr341]

I have reborns for anxiety, and other reasons. I do not understand why we can't just have them without needing to EXPLAIN ourselves, whether it's just enjoying collecting them, or you have them for specific reasons like anxiety, if it helps, it helps! It doesn't harm anyone else.

[@LeahFlores_]

Why do you think the new Gymboree stuff is dreary & drab? I think it’s pretty cute.

[@LifewithKrystle]

I much preferred Gymboree’s collections with the cute themes to them where you could match head to toe and I liked the bright colours. It all made Gymboree more unique than other stores. Now they just seem the same as every other store.

[@LeahFlores_]

Life with Krystle Oh okay.

[@cherylmailloux9647]

I agree with Paula it really is no one's business but your own and you do not have to explain to anyone what and why you are out with your friends and your reborns!! That's mean and crazy to react the way that woman did!! Were you being disruptive to anyone, no, were harming anyone, no! It's not anyone's business and you should not have to explain that this is something you just love doing. Period!!

[@kydrasims9734]

I would love to go to the disney store but I don't think there is one anywhere near me

[@doneldasdarlings6803]

Krystle, I am a lady in my 70's and have raised 4 children and have 4 Step children and I have no void to fill, but I have 4 reborn and have great fun with them, and really don't need to be analyzed. Remember stay calm and play with dolls, be you.❤️🇨🇦

[@seheabol]

It baffles me that people think doll people would rather have a real baby. In my case they are VERY unrelatable things. It’s like asking someone playing call of duty why they don’t just join the army or GTA should just steal a car. People ask me when they see my dolls if I ever wanted kids. I really don’t relate them at all. Tbh I’m not really fond of small kids. I just like dolls and other toys. A lady at Rose was studying Reborn’s as part of her PhD and she had a survey that was trying to relate the two. Asking about dolls then about your kids status, totally assuming there was a relationship

[@LifewithKrystle]

Wow! That’s crazy there would be someone doing a survey on that at a place like ROSE. Ugh! I completely agree 100% with you.

[@Stephie2007]

I have my reborns because of my questionable fertility. Recently my own dad insulted me by assuming what other people would think of me if I take my reborns out in public (I'm on the autism spectrum) by using anti disability language at me. Before he said nothing about my dolls. Now, I see that to him this is just another "obsession" for him to ridicule and shoot down. Thank God I'll be moving back to Arkansas soon so I can be around people who actually support me.

[@shellyb5014]

I think the lady was a little nutty, BUT I do have to say when I started to research this hobby, I thought people used these dolls as substitute babies. It made me steer clear of the Dolls for awhile, but I realized that for the most part, these are just collectibles. I think you gave that lady too much attention. You should have curtly cut her off and move on. People want to make sense of why we have these realistic dolls, so they form opinions. I’m guessing she likes the dolls and they are interested in them, but is not confident enough to collect them.

[@LifewithKrystle]

True. I am just never good with people who are overpowering like her. I never really know how to handle those people because I get very uncomfortable and shy. I have never been all that good at standing up for myself.

[@Lisa-hy5mp]

One day i would like to know where your babies were bought You have a big collection

[@LifewithKrystle]

Have a look at my meet the babies playlist :)

[@OfficialAuntMoose]

I’m supposed to be getting a shower but here I am.

[@CraftykelseyBlogspot]

I haven't done an outing with any of my babies in a while but I will soon, and you have a new subbie 😉

[@e.j.thomas9994]

To me this is normal. Just change the dolls for my Charlie Bears, and that's me! I don't care what other people think!

[@616imhotep]

The only problem is if someone with a real child would check to see if a high chair was available, see them all taken and be inconvenienced and unable to stop for lunch there. I remember being put out by differing similar situations when out with my own children when the mall was crowded.

[@LifewithKrystle]

There were plenty of other high chairs available and had we seen someone needing one we would have given it to them
