Beautiful American Girl Dolls Make Millennial Parents Feel Ancient

When millennials look back, they feel like so much time has passed and start feeling ancient. It’s even worse if they’re parents because they see the toys their kiddos like and think of way back when. And some kids love toys from the old days – it’s just that millennial parents don’t want their kids to go that way. But back in the ’90s, there were so many toys, like the American Girl dolls, rare today, but they bring back that nostalgia.

American Girl Dolls Nostalgia

The American Girl Dolls line unveiled their brand new historical dolls – twins from 1999, which might feel like it was way back when, when in fact, it was only 24 years ago. Millennial parents that see these dolls feel like they’ve been sucker punched because they bring back sweet memories from their childhood. Before this unavailing, one of the original dolls, Josephine Montontoya’s story took place in 1824, which, compared to 1999, is actually history.

Kids Love the Old Times

A woman shares the story of her eight-year-old daughter that loves hearing about ’90s toys and how her mother owned certain ones. She says they binge-watch the sitcom Friends, and her daughter gets so enchanted by that ’90s nostalgia that she wants to hear all the details. The woman says her daughter even picked out a yellow sundress with a white t-shirt, just like what Monica from Friends wore!
