I've always encouraged the kids in my life to explore their imaginations. Her two older sibs laugh at her obsession with Barbies having babies, so my house is the only place she feels comfortable playing the game. I have her two days a week. The other grandma makes it clear she's uncomfortable with it. She has the little one 3 days/week. I expect she'll get bored with it before too long. Thanks for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it. I've taken care of kids, including my own, and this is a new one on me.
