How did your parents feel about Barbie?

"My parents were pretty neutral about Barbies: my sister and I had them but we also had other toys, often ones that we played with more. I enjoyed playing with them, particularly when I was verging on a little older (age 12+) and would come up with more imaginative stories behind them."
