Pregnant Barbie

It seems as if the world of Barbie is being rocked by controversy. Currently there is a Barbie doll that is depicted as being pregnant. This doll is not however an actual Barbie doll but one of Barbie’s friends. This doll friend is called Midge and she is portrayed as being married and already having a another child. The controversy is because many people seem to feel that this is a wrong move by Mattel.

Of course just as there are detractors to this doll there are also people who feel that there is nothing wrong with the production of this pregnant Barbie doll. Now the interesting fact you will find from this doll is the detachable tummy where the Barbie doll’s baby is supposed to be. In all probability many stores will withdraw this Barbie doll as there are many people who seem opposed to the idea of a little girl’s doll being depicted as being ready to have a child.

It is difficult to know if this interesting move by Mattel is a wise one as the Barbie doll brand is one that girls do want to buy. Perhaps this is yet another Barbie doll that will become a collector’s doll like the Nabisco Oreo Fun Time Barbie doll after it was withdrawn. Regardless of this fact is the idea behind what parents see and feel when their daughters ask why Barbie has a large tummy.

While the Mattel Company is not saying anything about the production of this pregnant Barbie friend there are lots of items that you can find in the internet and among parents who feel this doll may produce some negative ideas in their daughters. The most common concern is that the various young girls who have this doll will feel that it is alright for them to become pregnant as their doll – who is portrayed as being a role model – is going to be a mummy.

Now this is a valid concern if you feel that your daughter may be misled but then again this attitude belittles the girls who want to have dolls like this. After all there are scores of girls who have baby dolls to feed, rock to sleep, clean and change their diapers. There are lots of children who are more aware of how a baby comes into the world when their mother’s stomach has shrunk back to a normal size.

With all of these events occurring all around the children we can be forgiven if we feel the need to shelter our daughters. But then again if we have done our tasks of being parents properly our children will just see this pregnant Barbie doll as being only a doll and not a role model to follow after into disaster.
