My son says dolls I bought for granddaughter are ‘too sexualised’

DEAR DEIDRE: I SPENT a fortune on dolls for my granddaughter, but my son says I can’t give them to her for Christmas as they’re “sexualised”.

My granddaughter is seven. My wife and I are 61 and have her after school every afternoon because my son and his wife work.

I asked her what she hoped to get from Father Christmas, and she said she’d love a doll from this range we’d seen on telly.

I bought the full set but when I told my son, he said the dolls were too “sexual” because they wear short skirts and make-up.
