Man, if you haven't run into this sort of infantilizing nonsense, I am genuinely envious of your good luck. I don't collect dolls, but I do have cats, and I've had people say - recently, to my mid-thirties self - that because I take good care of my cats and enjoy fostering, I'm going to be such a good mommy. Not mother, mommy. It's insanely common in pet-adjacent spaces, and I can easily believe it also springs up around doll collection, either because the people saying it are trying to be "cute" or because they're just that condescending.

Even though that sucks, cats are at least living creatures that require things like food and positive attention to thrive. People call themselves “pet mommies with fur-babies” all over the internet. Couples getting pets as “practice kids” is an actual thing that happens. Assuming anyone with a pet wants human children is a bad assumption, but it’s not completely off the wall.

Telling an adult that keeping dressed up chunks of plastic intact makes them good parenting material is extremely weird on an entirely different level, and the number of doll collectors in this thread agreeing that it’s not normal leads me to believe that OP hangs out with a particularly unhinged crowd.

ayrt

I'm not sure where you're getting "it's normal" from "yeah, people do in fact say that in exactly those infantilizing terms", friend.

If you are the anon I was replying to, then I never argued that people say that to you about your cats. Even you said you’ve never heard an adult say that to another adult about their toys. You just assume they must, because of your awkward cat conversations apparently.
