How dose she know what her 'daughter' wants?
Annette Kravchenko, 42, lives in Queensland and has two daughters, 18 and 15 respectively, and a 13-year-old son. She loves children and hopes to have more children, but her 52-year-old husband disagrees. Instead, he suggests that she can buy dolls to satisfy her own desires.
However, since all the expenses were made by Kravchenko selling dolls and making commercials, neither her husband nor her children objected to her actions. In order to make Matilda "widely known", Kravchenko decided to spend $10,000 for Matilda traveling around the world for two years.
Matilda is actually mailed to all places by registered mail since, after all, she is a simulation doll. But Kravchenko stressed that Matilda will be taken care of by local homestay families while traveling. "She is very important to me and I will not let her live with people I do not believe in." She also said Matilda will go sightseeing in various destinations and will "taste" the local cuisine. "Matilda is looking forward to the journey."
Matilda's travel expenses come from Kravchenko's personal savings and donations from emulated doll enthusiasts. Kravchenko will also share "mother and daughter photos" on the Instagram platform as usual parents. She said that many people are very interested in them as "mother and daughter," and Matilda also brought many joy to her family.

After investigating the market, Kravchenko found that dolls on the market were valuable and therefore decided to make them by hand. Unexpectedly, she was indulged in dolls and even made it a lucrative career.
She also made herself a "grown-up child" and named her Matilda inspired by classic Australian ballads. She loves Matilda much more than her other children, spending hundreds and thousands of dollars for Matilda.

However, many netizens think that her behavior was "too crazy and scary" when they heard about her story. They criticized her for being "very unfair" with her three living children.
