I agree with Cailin, we have swords in the house and toy guns, DS watches cartoon network and plays the games online and I suppose you could call them violent in so much as they are fighting but there is no blood. That is where I draw the line, he can watch movies with fighting, Star Wars, James Bond (not the new one) etc as long as there is no blood just bang - someone falls down IYKWIM? DD plays with her barbies (yes she has them - about 15) and then gets up and plays with the light sabres.
What i'm saying is although I totally respect (and even admire to a certain point) people not having violent toys in the house I have found that I want, for our family, to let the kids have a wide range of toys to choose from and good communication in the home as to what is real and what is make-believe.
The same goes for the OP. I am the youngest child in my family so I never saw anyone bf and I had bottles with my dolls and I can honestly say that when my children were born those memories didn't even enter my head!
