Sick America...Mothering for little girls

For her 7th birthday, my granddaughter got a doll, a new doll of the contemporary world. This doll can take a bottle as the child holds it in her arms. Then it wets itself. But--and here's the hitch--the diaper the doll wears is disposable. So this doll requires a continuous supply of disposable diapers.

Cynical or not, I can't help but believe in the intentionality of the design of this doll. My only defense is to counter with the idea that my granddaughter must pay for "her baby's" diapers herself.

Sick America.
