Speaker 2: me now.

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 3: But one week you buy a Harley Davidson clock that

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: brought out Peter brock on the quarter hours. I know,

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: I'm mixing them all up together, and you buy that

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: from the Franklin. And the next week you buy this

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: lifelike doll and it looked like a little dead baby.

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: Look, that's the thing.

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: She's run a weird newborn babies. I want to talk

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: to you about this woman I've been reading about this morning.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 2: She says, I'm a mom to eight dolls. You like this,

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: I breast feed them and take them everywhere.

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: She's twenty eight. She looks like a very normal woman.

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: Would you say to the picture holding up a hand out,

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 3: very normal?

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: She looks a little bit.

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: Uh go on, if I didn't, if I hadn't told you.

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: If I told you that, you know she was working

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: in marketing. Here you go, fair enough. She doesn't look

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: like an unusual person.

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: Not marketing so much, possibly the technical department.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: She says, she's an adoptive mother to these eight reborn dolls.

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: They're called reborn. So here's what happened.

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: She became interested in realistic dolls after seeing a YouTube

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: video showing off a collection. She just wanted to use

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: the dollar as a prop because she does cosplay. We're

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: diving deeper now, but she started to feel attached to

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: the doll, so her family has grown. Over the last year,

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: her collection has grown to eight. She spends about two

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on them, and the one of the ones.

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: See some of them look like Toddler's eighteen months two years,

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: would you say? But she's also got some of those

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: newborn ones that she has breastfed in the past, but

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: now she bottle feeds them because they can't stay on

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: the breast.

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Will You'd never be able to leave the house.

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: So she bottle feeds them. She makes milk from flour

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: and water.

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I said, does it?

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: When?

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: That's why she lating?

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: When that's when she bottle feeds them, right, Okay, but

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: does she actually lack tating?

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: No, I think no. I think she's just pretending. I

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: think so.

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: I think so. She said, I got attached to the

56
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: first one as if she was adopted child. Suddenly I

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: was spending money on clothes for her in a bed.

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: These dolls are comforting. I'm living my truth of the

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: life I want as if I was a mum. There's

60
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: something sad and poignant in that, isn't there. So she

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: got she's got some toddler ones, some other ones. There's

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: a photo of here, as I said, with her big family.

63
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: She's got two year old dolls summer. She's got twins,

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: Molly and Antony, Ashley, Elizabeth, Michael and Adam's planning on

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: getting a new one, Emily this month. Emily, she said,

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: looks like a real newborn baby. So here's the routine

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: of the day she has with them. She said, I

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: keep most of the dolls in cribs in the living room,

69
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: but baby Adam and Jennifer in her oom because they're

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: too small to be on their own with the others,

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: of course, and the other says they get older want

72
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: their own space. She says, I have a routine. I

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: make them breakfast and get them all dressed. I put

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: a movie on for them. When we've nearly done a

75
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Disney marathon. They go everywhere with me. By seven PM,

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,440

00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: songs on an okarina.
