Her Sister Yelled At Her After She Didn’t Give Her Niece A Rare And Expensive Doll From Her Collection That She Wanted
If you’re a collector, you know how sacred some of your collectibles are, and you would hope that everyone in your life also treats them as such. However, that isn’t always the case.
One woman collects dolls and recently had to turn down her young niece after she asked if she could have a rare and expensive one from her collection.
She’s 23-years-old and has been collecting dolls for years. She’s loved dolls since she was young and always tries to find rare or old ones.
“I am very proud of my collection, but I don’t like people touching or doing anything to my dolls,” she explained.
“Some of them are expensive, and some are on the brink of collapsing, so I like it when my dolls are not touched.”
The other day, her sister and young niece stopped by her house for a visit. Her niece decided to go into her doll room while she and her sister chatted. Her niece has been briefed on all the doll room rules, including not touching anything unless given permission.
During the visit, her niece asked if she could play with one of her more expensive, rare dolls. She said yes, knowing her niece was old enough not to ruin it. After a while, her niece returned the doll to her but asked if she could have it because it was much nicer and prettier than the dolls she had at home.
“I smiled but gently told her that I couldn’t do that since it was my toy,” she recalled.
“She got teary-eyed, looked at my sister, and asked her if she could convince me. My sister told her to go watch TV, and after my niece left, my sister asked me if I could consider giving my niece the doll. I told her it was a rare doll that was not cheap, and I was proud to own it, and I don’t want to give it away.”

Her sister told her it would be really great for their relationship as aunt and niece if she gave her the doll.
She politely said no once again and told her she’d consider giving her a different doll instead but that the one she picked out was too special to her collection.
Before she knew it, things escalated, and her sister started angrily calling her names. Her sister also said she was too old to collect dolls and that it was disappointing how she’d rather choose a plastic doll over her niece’s happiness.
Her sister eventually left, and she later got a call from her parents, who told her she was being rude for not giving the doll to her niece, especially after she asked politely. Then, her parents reiterated what her sister said and told her she was too old to own those dolls.
“I felt confident in my decision [at] first, but now I am having doubts,” she added.
“I love that doll, and I really don’t wanna give her up, but at the same time, I don’t want to be mean to my niece.”
Should she give the doll to her niece or stand her ground?
