Mmmm, in what way are girls learning to be mommies when they play with
Barbies ?

Traditionally dolls were like babies that girls would care for the way they
saw mommy care for their younger siblings.
Barbies are all about fashion, clothes etcetera... Nothing to do with being
a mommy IMHO

Isn't there a Ken that goes with Barbie ? Perhaps the kids can play at being
lovers with these dolls !?
... but do you want them to at that age ?
