When is enough, enough?

[TasiaChiba]

I'd rather see someone with a doll instead of a kid they aren't ready for.

^THIS! This this this this this!

Yes Dollykim, I agree too! Though I don't think too many out there would agree with you about the 'small human'. :lol Chrystal, I'm happy to see that you haven't set any limits to how many dolls you going to get.

Anyone else have a spouse who doesn't 'get it'?

Fortunately quite the reverse - the yeti is a huge enabler, which isn't always a good thing! He's got three dolls of his own too - two Makies and Hujoo Freya; and currently can't decide on whether to get a Pullip or an SD elf (possibly a Resinsoul one) next.

[Greyhaunt]

Never.

Unless you find yourself building furniture out of boxes that still contain dolls because you have no other way of fitting seating in you home.

Or you give up the hobby.

Mind you rotating your selection (i.e. occasionally selling ones you no longer really care for) can help.

[MelodyT]

I couldn't rotate my selection. Just can't see myself no longer caring about any one of them. But I like your philosophy: When is enough, enough? Answer: Never ShortNCuddlyAM, you are fortunate that you both like dolls.

[...]The inablity to properly play with or display them offers some sort of weak control. [...]

It's the same for me! I imposed to myself to stop buying dolls and reducing my collection whenever I can't give all of them some attention.

My boyfriend used to make some harsh comment on my dolls, but now that we live together and he can see everyday how much I enjoy them and my efforts in customization he started to "get the point" and appreciate that I have a creative hobby that help me get in getting away the stress and makes me happy. He still doesn't understand why a doll has to cost so much and I'll probably never tell him how much I've paid my Reaa, anyway.
