Does he have a stack of tools in the garage? Or books, cds, dvds, etc? Is your daughter well behaved and stays out of trouble and does good in school? Then he shouldn't mind your daughter having 69 dolls.
Very good answer Jupi! Thanks all!Post Merge: April 09, 2012, 07:07:35 PMQuote from: apanda0622 on April 09, 2012, 06:00:35 PMDoes he have a stack of tools in the garage? Or books, cds, dvds, etc? Is your daughter well behaved and stays out of trouble and does good in school? Then he shouldn't mind your daughter having 69 dolls. Yes, he has a rather large music collection. Hanna is a great kid, she had top grades, reads on 5th grade level (she's in 2nd grade), she reads a lot, does her homework and practices her karate every day.
When it comes done to it, they're pretty plastic dolls that are meant to be enjoyed not "investments". If he wants her to make money she'd be better off investing in the stock market, starting her own babysitting business, or something. He's thinking what would make himself happy, which is making money off of something he deems "not important". I've learned obsessing over money can make you very unhappy. It's a good thing to be conscious of how money is spent, and worth. But I think your husband should relax and take his desire for success in other fields that would be more profitable. Dolls really in the longterm won't be a good source of cash, especially if you aren't an expert. And I'm willing to bet he isn't an expert. He needs to think what would make your daughter happy. Not himself.EDIT: And technically its your money that bought the dolls for her as gifts. So what he wants to do if take away gifts you've given to your daughter... Which obviously would upset her. She might resent him as she grows older for it or think of him as frugal, or that he doesn't care about her because he is taking away something she loves.
Don't you think this is mostly about your husband worrying your daughter is too obsessed by her collection?

If each doll was $15 that's over $1000 worth of MH dolls. If you have any reason to worry about finances I can't say I blame him. Heck even if I wasn't worried about finances I'd be pissed if my boyfriend spent so much on toys for our kid. Kids should have toys and all, but $1000 worth of dolls for an eight year old is a bit much, no matter how good she is.
