How often did you play with your Barbies in family scenarios?

"We rarely played with family scenarios with our Barbies. Every once in a while there would be a wedding between one of the Kens and a Barbie, but we didn't have any of the little kid Barbies so they never had kids. If a friend brought a little kid Barbie over, it would be a little sister rather than a daughter. Our Barbies were usually single and busy doing various important jobs."
