38-year-old aunt allows her kids to steal dolls from her 11-year-old niece because she thinks she's too old for them, mom takes the dolls back: '[Her aunt] said that her kids had a better right to the dolls'

Whether it makes sense or not, society has assigned toys that are developmentally appropriate for certain ages. I understand why an 8-year-old might get bored with blocks when they loved them when they were 4. Kids want toys that present some kind of challenge or inspiration, and dolls can be a great source of inspiration. You can set up their life, dress them, and put them into harrowing life situations that real people would never fully recover from. There's a reason that all the American Girl Dolls had such tragic backstories. I loved those dolls so much, and I remember being 11 and getting my 2nd and last American Girl Doll, knowing it was the last one. Society decides you're too old for one type of toy, and it's a sad realization.

One mom fiercely defended her 11-year-old daughter's decision to still play with baby dolls, but that didn't stop her aunt from trying to stop her.
