Maybe. But I probably wouldn't have a bladder seizing fit over it.
Plus I think it's misguided at best to assume that the child sees the babie not as 'just a doll' but as the sum of all that is evil that promotes 'unhealthy' ideals, vanity and the desire to posses stuff.
Not getting a kid a toy they want just makes you the stingy bastard of a parent in the eyes of the kid and they eventualy get the toy one way or another.
