Hello everyone! -gives a little wave- I’m Rosey and completely new here, and feeling a little shy, though not new to D/s dynamics. At 40, and raising two tiny humans who are 2 and 6, I’m definitely in the older Littles crowd! I’ve had to learn how to still feel my babygirl self in a body that has changed with age and being a mama. Although I will say the blessing of having two little kiddos is that it allows beautiful moments of all three of us having playful creative fun…and everything getting covered in glitter. My Daddy and I are also still in the process of learning how to still fit time for us (and keep our headspace) in the busyness of parenting. It’s hard not having friends who are in the scene, so I’m hoping to make connections here and learn and grow along the way.

Hello to all you amazing beautiful people on here! I hope you all are having beautiful amazing adventures. I truly do love reading about all your adventures and where life has been taking you all. So today at work I had two different doctors tell me I remind them of Doug on up. It honestly made me smile, now they could have been saying it as a bad thing but to me it made me so happy. I personally love Doug, he is always willing to help anyone around him, risking his life for his loved ones and he never gives up. So if people think I'm like Doug then I am blessed to be seen like him. So it got me thinking who do people think you remind them of? And I will only say this once, if someone says you remind them of someone bad they are wrong. Because you are perfect, beautiful and amazing just the way you are 💟 Until next time remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved ❤️

Hallo Meine Freuende (Hello my Friends), I've seen some posts recently about the following: Feeling ashamed about being a little. Being afraid to open up to a partner about being a little. Being afraid of judgement from others. Negative self-talk about being a little. I would like to plant a flag down and make one thing absolutely clear: no one will shame you here. You are safe, and you are perfect the way you are. And, as the wonderful @MissAnna is so fond of saying: you are loved and worthy of being loved. If you have nowhere else to go, this is a place you can go. If you have no one else to talk to, I am here to talk to you, and you may message me anytime. Being a little can be challenging. All our lives, we are told to grow up, to be independent. To be a little, we are going against that very strong, potent, omnipresent social current. (And my deepest empathy for little boys and mommies, who swim even further upstream against the masculinity and femininity expectations). Going on this journey takes strength, but if you are here, you are strong. You have already sought out community, advice, counsel, and safe-harbor. Some people go their whole lives wishing, but you are here-- you are acting upon what you know is right for you. And, if nobody else has commended you for that, I will. Good job. I came to these forums arguably at my lowest point in the last 60 months. I had to have the universe strip away most of my life as I knew it in order to come here. I have a whole post on my journey with shame, and I don't want to go into that here and detract from the point of the post-- I would just like you to know that you don't have to have your whole life stripped away to accept yourself. We will all accept you here. If you're reading this and you're unsure of your journey as a little, or you're afraid to open up to your partner, or you're ashamed of yourself-- acknowledging that and processing that is the first step. That can start here. You don't have to hide anymore. Hiding who you are can create pain. It can repress parts of yourself, or create barriers between yourself and a partner. It can create mistrust, jealousy, resentment, sadness, and numbness. If you have shame, fear, or uncertainty, we are all here for you. And if nobody has extended you an invitation to talk, have a friend, or have an ear: I am. Mit Liebe und Umarmungen (With Love and Hugs), Joey

I can honestly relate to this topic 100%, being a previous Dom I always feel like I am in imposter mode all the time I don't feel deserving of being little nor do I feel that I am qualified to be a middle. But when I do have those calm moments it's the most sweetest experience I have ever felt. I find myself to allow my daddy to be in control more and allow him to make all the decisions. The majority of my time I'm spent in submissive mode and I catch myself still going into Mommy Dom mode as well. I find that I slip into middle role more often if I color, cuddle with Mr Bunny or even watch silly cartoons. Its a beautiful feeling and one that I hope to stay in longer one day. And how wonderful for you to have met up with your Daddy I hope you two had a beautiful time together.

Hello all you amazing beautiful people on here! I wanted to come on here because spooky season is fastly approaching us and I am so excited! I know there are a lot of Doms, littles, submissives and middles who think they are too big to go trick or treating or even dress up. So I have a fun thought, what if we have a virtual trick or treating Halloween for everyone? You can post a picture of your costume on your page or describe what you will be wearing for Halloween. Then go to others page say knock knock and get a treat. And don't worry it doesn't matter if you are a Dom you can dress up to and go trick or treating in our community too. Halloween is a fun holiday for all, and all of you deserve to have fun. I'm so excited to hear all about your costumes and see them too! Until next time remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved 💞 Happy spooky season to you all 🎃👻🍭

So to all of you we say hello and welcome and enjoy your time with us, you are home.

Not usually, no. It can certainly be seen as a potential red flag with it becoming more worrisome the shorter the time you've been together. Considering you only posted Wednesday about looking for a Daddy I would suggest if someone is already asking you for money that is, in my view, a HUGE red flag.

Cute pumpkins!

if I've said it once I'll say it again, and again, and again and again! There is absolutely NO wrong way to be little! We are all individuals and we are all very different and that is all very OK!! I live by myself I don't have a caregiver daddy whatever, I never actually had design "little time", absolutely does not mean I'm not a little! I'm childlike most of the time except when I have to be an adult ( you know work lol) I love the color and craft and dress up, but I'm not necessarily in little headspace when I do that I'm just being me! If anyone ever says to you you're being a little wrong walk away honey walk away! You are perfect just the way you are I promise! 🥰

There are soooo many littles over 40 it's really silly, but we kinda hide coz most daddies want littles who are younger, in their 20s or early 30s. It's difficult to hear all the time, so we don't talk about our age, instead we build friendships and see what happens. Best of luck in your searching!

Here's a couple more pictures I did.

A cute Dragon!!!

I am not going to give our exact ages, but my wife, who is a middle, is over 40, and I am over 50. We married when she was 26. Things have changed over the years. She went from Spongebob and stuffed animals when we first married to anime and playing on her phone now that she is older, but she is very much a middle. She tends to hover around 11 or 12 these days, as far as age regression goes. She thinks and behaves like she is 11, and is interested in things an 11 year old would would be interested in. And when she does act like an adult, it feels more like a 12 year old trying to act like an adult. Despite being over 40. It has become a lifestyle. She is basically permanently regressed to 11, and I treat her as if she were 11, as that is when she is happiest. And, quite frankly, when I am the happiest. As long as I am being a good daddy, she is well-behaved, loving, and affectionate. Give her love, attention, and food, and that takes care of most of her needs. When we married, she made me promise that I would allow her to be a child for life. And while I made mistakes along the way, I am doing my best to fulfill her desires. So being a little or middle while older is just fine... especially if it makes you happy.

I found this picture and it was super cute... so I put on some Star Trek (my favorite) and colored it tonight.

Don't "grow up" It's a trap!! Gonna stay little forever and ever!!!

I made this this week with Play-Doh and craft stocks and dinosaur counters! It's a dinosaur pen! I thought I would share!

More scarecrows!

Often bdsm can being up feelings of past trauma and/or resentment. I would be hesitant to grab one sentence of someone’s post, completely ignore the rest of it and then say they’ve been groomed. That doesn’t sit well with me given the rest of her post. It sounds like she had to get comfortable with her little side, which can be incredibly difficult the first time you realize it. We don’t know the details of her dynamic when they were exploring her little side and for all we know it could have been a yellow, I’m open to the idea but a bit nervous or uncomfortable. But given that she is still actively pursuing and exploring her little side in a safe way here on the forum lends credence to the fact she is just trying to see what age ranges she has and find like minded folks to discuss with. And as for “you may not be little at all”, there are switches out there. That maybe she’s not a little all the time or a baby needing diapers, but enjoys the more mature childlike things or even a middle. And in the other times when not feeling smol, maybe she’s a mommy, mommy dom or maybe like some of us she just feels grown up when she’s not little. Either way, she’s in the right place to explore. The group is highly monitored by our incredible admin team and any behavior or people they find concerning are dealt with swiftly. Exploring your bdsm kinks and even age regression can sometimes unlock a vault filled with hard feelings and hurt. It’s okay and natural to feel awkward at first with your little side. It can also often be a coping tool for those (like myself) who didn’t get a true childhood. Who at heart never moved past a certain age mentally because life just started kicking them in the nuts. It can be cathartic, painful and peaceful simultaneously. Happy explorations to you both! We are happy to have you with us. 🫶

Wait, we're allowed to submit original doodles???!!? ~~~ Congrats you guys! Your pages are super cute! @SquirtleSquad @littlegala And good job to everybody else that entered!

Shadow, I’ve decided you’re diabolical. This is your payback for us making it hard to vote….you give us ALLLLLL THE GOOD PICTURESSS 😻 I was like ooh that one. No! That one. Wait, no…! They’re so stinkin’ adorable this month. *insert spooky ghost noises* all da spoopies! 👻💜🎃

How do you get into your little / middle space? What does it feel like- what are things that you notice about yourself when you feel like you are in little space? I ask because I met up with my Dom/Daddy the other day and he asked me how will he know when I am little and asked if my bunny doll helps me get into little space because I was showing him it. and it made me curious, because I'm new to littlespace and just started exploring it. I know I feel little when I do things like go "Bwah" or start speaking in a more baby voice/tone and feel super giggly/playful, or hyper, or on the flipside when I feel super anxious/scared/upset. I know I don't age regress because I still mentally know I'm an adult - but a more unfiltered/unhinged childish side comes out of me, either provoked or just sometimes at random - like when im overwhelmed I find myself unable to handle loud noises and want comfort/familiar things, plush things and I go nonverbal unless pushed to speak and even then, not much comes out. Or I'll just see something really cute and just get unbridled chaotic cuteness aggression and make like a monster voice going "gib - want" or make grabby hands at things I want / like or if I want attention lol I also get really freaking weird and will bite/lick if the impulse is strong enough. so, it makes me kinda curious how people know when there feeling little or are in little space - because for me personally, I've always been mature - but when i don't have to be mature and I feel safe- im a chaotic little gremlin - and I'm always described as the "baby sister / little sister" in every friend group.

@Daddy Bear 77 @LissyLu @SquirtleSquad @littlegala @kimmybunny @Aikko @Kyuu_chan_san @MyMy @Zina @RoseyLittle Hello my NNC members!!! Here are the questions for this week (chapters 17-20)! Our book is getting very good. Make sure to post in topic linked below! And use spoilers. Also please help me welcome @RoseyLittle who is catching up and joining us in our reading adventure!

I'm a middle, so I don't know if this is much help. But I also don't age regress so here goes ... For me it's more of a relaxed state of mind. It might be the music I listen to or the foods I eat maybe I might wear a character T-shirt or more colorful makeup. For me, my middle/princess state is very indulgent.👑 Generally, it's just a more relaxed and happy state of mind. I know I'm a grown up always, but for those time-frames I get to relax and just enjoy a bit more.

I dint age regression myself as I keep my awareness of my actual age, which is important to me. What happens is when I'm with my Daddy my behaviour may change to more snuggly, playful or clingy. It's not something that happens outside of when I'm with my Daddy.

That's a good fun idea! I actually thought about it! Hahaha but alas, I don't live alone. And I would feel a bit awkward doing so around people 😂. However, I'll definitely try it as soon as I get the chance! And maybe share my costume on here ^^ . Also I'm content enough to celebrate Halloween here with you guys!🎃 What Soul mentioned here (Boujloud) is close to a rite or carnival celebrated in some regions in my country which is super cool! Where ,mostly men, dress in very scary costumes and chase people and children on the street hahaha. It gives up similar vibes to Halloween even if wildly different.

Here’s my entry!

Hia y’all! Does anyone else feel little, but don’t really have a little age or really a little space (like headspace) they go to? For me, I feel little and cute and sassy, I love my girly stuff, bows, bubbles, old cartoons, little kid songs, etc, but I don’t really.. go into a separate headspace, I just feel like it’s literally just part of me and my personality and I’ve been old because of that I’m not “a real little” by people in the past.. any advice or idk comments?

I used to feel thst way when I was much younger but as I've gotten older I've reframed it as something I want versus need. When things become needs they often can risk falling into unhealthy behaviours, e.g. staying in a bad relationship, not developing independence in caseca CG leaves, is injured or passes away, putting everything on a partner which can lead to relationship issues, codependency or even living constantly in the future versus the present. I'm not going to say wanting a CG is bad, there are tons of folks here who do but there are still healthy lines to consider and boundaries to be set to distinguish between want, need and need crossing the line into unhealthyness for one, the other, both or more.

Scarecrow!!!

You're a Little. They're gatekeeping assholes. Some people do experience separate headspaces or deliberately separate their headspaces, but it's not mandatory in order to be a Little. There are no rules or regulations towards defining what is a Little, other than simply identifying as one. Anything other than that, is purely subjective in nature and shifts from one person to the next. All forms of Littlespace are valid. These are probably the same people that say it's mandatory to be in an involuntary headspace for AgeRe. Or the same people that try in invalidate Teenspace. Or those that think we need to have an age number. Or the idiots who are convinced that I can't be dominant because I'm smol. They're all completely wrong, but pop off I guess. SoI'll just pop this here, it sounds like you could potentially benefit from it.

I’ll just quickly chime in. There is no definitive outline to your little self. I’ve known many Littles and people in general. Some can narrow themselves to a particular age range. Some are more fluid and can move through different age groups from baby, little, middle, and even teen. The thing about being a little is your own headspace and how you define it. The activities that make you feel smol and every bit of the feeling and comfort you have there. Don’t let others dictate what truly “makes” or “doesn’t make” you little. Your adult age, your little age(if you’ve come to define it or not), your role(Dom or sub, cuz littles can be either), and anything else, is defined by you. From all that I can see, you are a “real little”, if you need someone to validate it for you. Those that say you aren’t don’t truly know how big and open this community is.

This truck reminds me of something my uncle had when I was a kid!

This is the bestest season of the year! A time to celebrate all the warm, rich beauty of the earth as the crops are harvested and the trees left go of their burdens to make room for new growth! A time to prepare for the months of darkness and cold that will push people together indoors before we can burst back outside in joyous celebration of new life and warmer weather again! Time to be thankful for all the beauty, fun and abundance we experienced this year before taking a nice rest with those we love during winter! I love the season of autumn!

@Daddy Bear 77 @LissyLu @Ariguin @SquirtleSquad @littlegala @Beanie19 @kimmybunny @Aikko @Jazzylove22 @TeenyRena @Kyuu_chan_san @MyMy Hellow friends sorry for the delay but here are this weeks questions for chapters 7-9!!!

@Daddy Bear 77 @LissyLu @Ariguin @SquirtleSquad @littlegala @Beanie19 @kimmybunny @Aikko @Jazzylove22 @TeenyRena @Kyuu_chan_san @MyMy Hello friends Pigtail book wurm extraordinaire here!!!

Be on the lookout in the next 24 hours for those questions you all love. I will be pinging anyone I havnt heard from so check those pings. Yall are doing amazing and I think these chapters will be good ones. Happy reading 📚

personally I think you're never too old to dress up! I'm 48 and I still do it every year! If you wanna go trick-or-treating go trick-or-treating! Who cares what anyone thinks, do what makes you happy! Or if there are any little fall festivals in your area lots of adults go to those and dress up. If you like seeing the costumes and you live somewhere where you can pass out candy dress up to do that. I don't currently live somewhere where I get trick-or-treaters, but when I was at my dad's house I dressed up to give out candy. I love interacting with all the kids and telling them how much I love their costumes! I used to throw a Halloween party every year. We did apple bobbing, rock painting, pumpkin painting, face painting. at one time I had a lot of friends with smaller kids so I set up games all over my yard, and set up a little Photo Booths. I actually had kids of all ages from my neighborhood pop in. even the adult adults were bobbing for apples! (no alcohol was even required ! haha) lol I still do the Photo Booths for the girls that I work with for holidays! I buy funny eyeglasses and props that I get on Amazon and everybody loves it! We take all kinds of pictures and just have fun with it! If you need a fun twist on watching movies I have a projector and a big blowup screen that I set up in my backyard to do scary movies! I light up the fire pit, then we chill and relax! They've been years when I've gotten together with my girlfriends for pumpkin carving, and toasting seeds. (there may have been some wine involved lol) If you need need fun activities for your little side, find Halloween coloring and activity books! You can find all kinds of great crafts on Amazon! The possibilities are endless! Be you and have fun!! 🥰

The most important thing is always going to be that you're happy and safe.

Thank you for this! I have a brief story to share... I tend to stay in my logical/reasoning thinking a lot for work, parenting and adulting. When I was a younger adult, I had to do therapy to learn how to find the part of me that was emotional again. The problem for me was, that that part of me is very young, a baby, and wrapped up in severe, deep trauma that I didn't have words for, so after sessions of therapy, I always had my trusty trigonometry or chemistry books around to pull me back to my logical thinking so I could be a grown up again! Early on, I scared a whole therapy group (including the 4 therapists) with a triggering event that threw me into a big emotional outburst and I don't remember any of it... it took a lot of mindfulness and self-regulating to come back from that one! Once I learned how to connect with my emotions better and balance the amount of logical/reasoning skills I need for everyday life with how much I can express my little self in safe ways throughout the day, I stopped having major emotional outbursts. I still slip a lot. Stress, anxiety, fear, lack for sleep, changes to my routine, and not taking my meds or eating healthy all set me up for disaster, but as I learn to take care of me better and forgive myself, I am able to be in more control of my headspace so I can function as an adult.

Its that time again folks. Time to struggle to pick your favorite art from our super talented group. They never make it easy to pick just one but we gotta try. Be sure and cast your vote. Poll will be closing on Oct. 2nd Good luck to all ! LeftyGuitar Aikko RoseyLittle SquirtleSquad BabyPoppy
