If i had a daughter I'd be that dad buying her her own tools, soldering kits, and chemistry lab.Never understood why a dad would buy a daughter a doll, that seems like such a waste.
@freemo I was just thinking the opposite yesterday, that if I had to help parent a boy, I'd buy and encourage him to play with dolls - after listening to a Naked Neuroscience episode that discussed a research finding that playing with dolls activates regions of the brain to do with empathy and perspective taking, thus helping them develop socially.
