But at the same time, I really feel sorry for them. The joy and literal, pure happiness I get around my little one is unparalleled. These women obviously have felt the pull to have a child but are unable or unfit to have one, and are trying to fill that void with something as close as they can get. I totes understand wanting to fulfill that longing.

creepy much?

Instead, it was one of these dolls, which got passed around to about 10 women seated near her, all of whom cooed over her and the baby, one woman going so far as to "burp" the doll.
It struck me as such a huge moment of kindness on the part of the other women. The first woman was so obviously ill and had so clearly become attached to the doll, and the women seemed to cheer her by making a fuss over it.
Of course, it was sad too.

I'm not going to lie, I think there should be a DMS category for this. Creepy.

Again, my Jez is acting nuts. My dad did the same thing. He borrowed one of my little sister's dolls, stuck it in her old car seat, and prominently placed it in his car (usually the center of the backseat) . . . so he could ride in the HOV lane without a cop busting him.

Sorry about the unattached response, but my Jez is failing me today.
John Waters presumably doesn't walk around with his doll like it's a live human.
Also, isn't it a bit odd that these women are spending that much time and effort with these "children," creating real psychic bonds to the exclusion (in some part) of their other relationships?

Just a thought...

Although your point is valid because some of those people on "It's Me or the Dog" are just as loony as these folks.

I had an aunt who couldn't have children of her own, so she tried to adopt. She only wanted a baby, though. It is extremely difficult to adopt an infant, rather than a child that is a bit older. She never got an infant, but she does collect porcelain dolls now. This seems in the same vein, but a little more extreme. Maybe these women weren't able to adopt babies either.

If one of my friends looking for someone to mother started bringing me chicken soup and trashy magazines, I would probably follow them around like a puppy I'd be so grateful.
