Who says the newborn you fawn over has to be real? This Jezebel post about the British trend of childless women spending a pretty penny for life-like dolls that they push around in prams and tend to as their own frightened me.
Especially the clips from the documentary about the "moms," called My Fake Baby. In addition to toting the extremely realistic bundles of joy, called Re-Borns, on errands, the women dress and rock them. They also bask in the attention the wee ones attract and don't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night or changing soiled diapers.

this is beyond creepy. the video is SHOCKING. These women have PROBLEMS that they need to care for a doll in order to get attention and feel purposeful
1That is weird....
2That is beyond weird, and indicates some serious issues.
And the doll doesn't look like it's sleeping. It looks completely lifeless. That's awful.
3WTF?
4Eek! That's really sad and lonely.
5
WOW... I'm speechless...
6could they have made it any UGLIER?
7gosh that is scary.
8I might never sleep again. Ever.
9That is scarey!
10Wow it is very sad. I feel really bad for these women. They are obviously missing something in their lives.
11eek! that is creepy and wrong in so many levels.
12I simply do not understand why someone would buy a FAKE baby and tote it around as if it were real unless they're five years old. But it'd be better that they did this than have a child to use as an accessory.
13That's scary and creepy... wow...
14That's really disturbing. It's one thing to buy a lifelike doll, but it's a whole other thing to have a fake baby that you treat like a real baby push around in a stroller. And others actually give the same attention as if it were a real baby! I suppose that may be from a distance, but this is creepy.
15so creepy.
16That is creepy. And if you follow the link to the men with their dolls, that's even worse. I'm disturbed now!
17I don't think it's healthy.
I watched the full doc and I found the grandmother showing the grandson on webcam the reborn she had made of him as an infant very disturbing. She was trying to convince him it was a real baby as well.
18weird.
19Holly crap that's NUTS! No wonder this world is so screwed up.
20They had to make it ugly so no one would want to pick it up.
21I really don't know what to say. I think I saw a special about men and their real doll girlfriends that came out of Britain as well. What's up with the Brits??
22what the hell is wrong with these people?!? BIZARRE!
23and i thought the bag of flour i had to carry around as my baby for health class in high school was wierd.
btw, i made a cake out of mine when it was over...delicious
24This is sick and wrong. These women need help. And could that baby be any uglier? It looks like an under-the-weather alien.
25O wow! That is creepy!
26So sad to me. Like some others have said, these women must be feeling a huge void to do something like this. I guess it's better to do this than steal an actual baby like some stories on the news in recent years.
27Hmmmmmmmm!
28THAT IS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRECKY
29There's nothing wrong to embrace the child within and hug a doll that looks like an adorable little baby, there are a lot of bad people walking around murdering, raping I wish they were occupied doin just this.
