Hello,

My name is Gellybeangrl11. My middle/little age is 11-13. My biological age is 52. I am new to the DD/Lg dynamic. I have always felt like a middle/little, but I just thought that I was weird. My Ex didn't think it was good for me so I spent the last 17 years hiding. Now that I no longer am with the Ex, I am trying to reclaim myself...middle/little and all!

I am in a new DD/lg relationship and I am wondering if you all feel the same (like a little/middle) all the time?  My DD and I are also in a LDR...5 hours away. When I am with my DD I don't necessarily feel how I do when at home coloring or watching a movie in my own private little space sanctuary. Is this a bad thing? I still feel like a little when I am with Daddy. Am I still in "little space"? 

It's all so new to me. I am at peace in either situation. It's just when Daddy and I are intimate it's a bit more intense (I still feel like a lg), but it just feels different. Does anyone else have this issue? or have you ever felt like this? I think Daddy is worried that I am not "MORE" into little space when with him. It's not a matter of more or less, it's just a different feeling. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Gellybeangrl11

I feel differently depending on the time of day!  Sometimes I'm more little, sometimes less.  I don't think the emphasis should be on "how little" you are but more on building a dynamic and relationship that keep you both happy and fulfilled.

When I'm feeling very little all I want to do is cuddle up with Winnie the Pooh and watch telly.  But on average when I'm feeling little (I'm an older middle so not super little!) then I'll put my headphones on, listen to music, write in my journal, read a YA book or something like that.  Different activities for different "ages". 

Perhaps you could try doing different things when you're with your Daddy?  Something that is just for when you're together and not something you get to do at home?

Hello and welcome to all who recently posted!!! 
 

so very glad we can bond here and support each other!!

 

so yesterday I was at Walmart and they had hello kitty pillows. Y’all know I had to get one of those cause they were only 10 bucks!! 😻

 

I was also shopping  for some fun treats for my neighbor and her kiddos. We’ve lived across the street from each other for over a year and up until recently we had never really spoken. Neighborhood stuff brought us together and before I knew it, I had found a kindred spirit!!! Not into DDlg, but other kinks. So we’ve had some interesting conversations lately!! Haha 

she is pretty amazing actually. She has two boys 12 and 6. Her younger Son is autistic and man she is so wonderfully patient with him! I love watching them interact. She’s wide open and brutally honest, and her 12 year old is a trip and definitely her mini me! (Swear yall, if she were into DDlg I’d be begging her to be my Mommy!! 😉🤭) 
 

Anyway, shes been struggling a little here lately with life situations so I wanted to do something nice for her and the kids. The other day she made a homemade sprinkler out of a soda bottle. Her, me, and the 6 year old had a blast playing out in the street! I came  across the coolest thing at Walmart. I was actually looking for a slip n slide and found this cool water park baseball field!! It’s shaped like a baseball diamond and the path to each base is a water slide and sprinkler!!! How stinkin cool is that!!!

 

so I’ve got that in my cart, a big bubble wand and a little bubble blower for the 6 year old when I see stuff for home made snow cones!! But dang it if they don’t have the actual machine to make the snow cones, just all the fun flavors.   I was remembering when I was a little I had a snoooy snow cone maker. So as I’m still waking around the store I’m shopping on Amazon searching children’s snow cone machine. So the first few that pop up are crazy expensive but I keep scrolling to see what else they have. And hopefully I wasn’t caught by any of them people of Walmart photo takers, because omg my squeal of excitement at seeing they still make a snoopy snow come machine probably rocked the building!!! 🤭🤣🤣.    

It said there was only 11 left and one of them is comming home here!! Itall be here Sunday and I’m so stinking excited to show the kids and make snow cones with them!

 

how bad is it that I’m now living vicariously through my neighbors kids and totally using them as an excuse (kind of) why I’m buying up cool kids stuff!! 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

 

anyway… hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!! 

So I totally love everything you wrote here! I teach preschool during the school year and generally have the at risk, developmentally delayed, and challenging behavior kiddos mixed with my typical kiddos (inclusive settings) so our classroom dynamic is pretty diverse in skill range. This summer I'm working with the school aged kids in summer care so I have 5 - 12 year olds and we have a lot of behavioral needs kiddos there too... many of the kids I taught in preschool!! So once again diverse skill levels... I get to be a kid and play with them, do the activities with them to model appropriate skills and it is so much fun to just be present with kids! I love it! We go to the park or the pool everyday and I participate in the activities! It's the bestest to see the world through the eyes of a child and be little with them! (Even if I still need to be a grown up). Plus, there are fewer challenging behaviors when I embrace parts of my little self and just play with them instead of dictating their play.

So "little" can be something you are (part if your personality) or something you do (a way you behave). If it's something you are, of course it will change throughout the day as all parts of our personality is somewhat fluid. For example: I am a teacher, it's a personality trait for me. I help others think about big concepts by seeing the parts, understanding the different aspects of complex ideas or problems and work through them until they understand the idea or can solve the problem (this is education at it's base). It's not something I do consciously anymore, it's something I do without thought and I work hard to not over step with others almost constantly outside the classroom.  

I view being little the same way. For me, being little is part of who I am, a way of perceiving the world with a child-like innocence,  sense of wonder, awe, and joy. Being able to have fun, be silly and enjoy the present moment are important,  but so is the need to be vulnerable about my feelings, sharing my thoughts, my crafts/coloring, and both my successes and failures. (I work hard to stay outta littlespace when at work or when life calls for big space thinking).

It's also about acceptance. For too many years I fought who I am and tried to hide in the grown up world. I implemented rules, routines, and rituals to keep me safe and secure as a big girl, but I was so unhappy and lost my spark. I am a unique individual,  which makes me valuable! You are too! ❤️ 

When we can see the forest through the trees (see that we are complete with our little self, not separate from our little self), we will find wholeness and peace.

Each person, whether big, little, Mommy, Daddy, Caregiver, switch, D/s, or anything else has  one thing in common. We are all uniquely beautiful individuals.  We are strong people who juggle grown-up life and this wonderful space where we can validate a special part of our selves that the rest of the world is clueless about, and there is no right way to be little or big.

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken! 

Love ya my little friends!

Hi, I'm CosmicBunny! Feel free to call me Cosmic 💫🐇

Honestly, I'm nervous to even post, but I promised my Daddy I would try. My tummy hurts just typing this. 😣

I'm trying to make friends that understand and "get" our dynamic and lifestyle. I'll be upfront since I'm trying to be clear about my intentions. I'm 32F going on 33 and I identify as an Older Middle or "Teen" (15-17). I consider myself a switch because I know I have a Dom personality (like a big sister), but I willingly Sub to my Daddy. I have yet to meet others who identify similarly.

We initially started as a LDR in our mid-teens before meeting in person 5yrs later once turning 18. We married when I turned 19 (sooner if I'd had it my way, but I promised him I'd finish high school 🙄). He is my one and he is my only. I can confidently say we are best friends. Before even learning there was DDlg community, I was already naturally calling him Daddy and submitting to him as I found him worthy. (Don't get it twisted, though, I'm still a Brat 😈)

Once we were finally together, I gained a "close" circle of friends in our very early 20s, but it eventually grew uncomfortable and problematic. Some found us "archaic" and others were trying to "break" my loyalty to him. I proudly consider myself weird, but the commentary and attempts made me feel really shitty. Eventually (and obviously), we drifted/fell apart as a friend group. I realize I haven't hung out with a true friend since December 2019, just before the pandemic hit. 😷☣️🧼

We moved our little family to Texas 🤠 a year ago, but I've been avoiding making new friends out of fear of repeating the past. Daddy provides for us so he works long hours, while I'm home with our little family. I miss him horribly when he's gone and I wish I had someone who understands me when I say I genuinely LIKE and LOVE Daddy and I want him around 24/7. What I desperately want is to make like-minded friends who I don't have to pretend or hide in front of and most importantly won't judge and will respect us and our dynamic. 

While my Dom brain is telling me "I've got this", my sub brain is screaming at me "It's way too hard and scary."

Anyways, if you made it this far, thank you for your time and I hope you didn't find this post long and annoying.

I would love and appreciate any suggestions or recommendations on how to get out of my head (and house 🏡😅) and try making friends again.

I am definitely an older middle. I am proud of my age and am glad I don’t look it. Nice to meet you you all.

[GoodGirlBadGirl]

Hey everyone on a lovely rainy Texas morning *waves*

You can call me “B”.

While open to friends of all ages, I would really like to meet other Littles my age and older.

A 20-year-old I met in a group recently (in person) after asking my age went “OH MY GOD!” 😲

Yeah, thanks for the jump scare “compliment” on looking so young. 

🤦🏻‍♀️ 

This is after she complained about people in the group being “too old” and not having any young friends, either.

😅

Anyway…

I do not wear diapers, but I do love pacifiers. 

LOVE costumes and playing dress up! 

When I first entered the BDSM scene, I didn’t like my “Little” side.

But thanks to a very experienced former Daddy Dom was able to freely explore with different toys and discover my different ages.

A LT ex said my Little age would be around 9-10.

I would say that is accurate, but my ages clearly trend younger.

Thanks to so many predators and my own reluctance to embrace my Little side, I find it difficult to get into Little Space.

It’s hard to regress to a point where Disney movies appeal to me.

I tried Dino chicken nuggets and they are like…sawdust? 

Very bland. 

Old school Happy Meals are sooo much better!

But my “Big” brain gets in the way and keeps me away from too much junk.

Little foods can help, as do cozy robes, but affection and correction are extra special. 

Recently joked to an Adult LEGO enthusiast I’m officially now old enough to play 😬

Looking into doing dioramas and customizing minifigs. 

Time to go listen the rain, one of my absolute favorite things.

☔️💜☺️

"When I first entered the BDSM scene, I didn’t like my “Little” side."

Sounds like someone tried to groom one of my homegirls. You might not be little at all.  K, bye.

Sounds like someone tried to groom one of my homegirls. You might not be little at all. Send me his details and I can defend you, retroactively, but don't ask how. But also only if you want. K, bye.

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. 🫶

That's why I left it up to her to say what she wanted. Good words though, bye, love you.

I’ll second @Aikko in this. It’s really uncouth to just immediately say “oop - groomed.” My lovely friend here already said a great deal of what I would say - exploring doesn’t equal grooming. Uncomfortable feelings while exploring doesn’t equate to grooming either. This is one of the best places this chick is gunna find advice , sound advice. 
 

I would also suggest not threatening people , asking for their details or info. Just remember , the internet is forever. While I highly doubt you’ll actually do anything - if you did. The evidence is right here in the forum for you to get caught. Most people who will actually hunt someone down isn’t gunna make it that easy to get themselves caught up. 
 

I know , I know. Monkey is telling someone not to threaten ? Lmao. Yes. 
 

But seriously tho - I’m the first person to protect my friends but there is a line to not be crossed - especially on a public forum. This doesn’t sound worthy of a threat , concerning ? Maybe if I had more details , but no… not really. It sounds to me like this person is just curious , exploring , and learning. We’ve all been there and it’s completely normal.

@GoodGirlBadGirl @TheStitchPumpkinPsychopath 

Welcome ladies!! 

most important thing to remember is that there is no right or wrong way to be little! No matter what age you feel most comfortable at, there's no right or wrong way to just be you! 

Don't be afraid to explore the forums and ask lots of questions! They're always folks here willing to chime in and give you their thoughts and advice! 

I hope you both will make lots of new friends!  have fun and be safe! 🥰

[JammyJamie]

Hi. I'm James (Jamie). I'm 31 in a week.

Lots of stuff happening in my little corner of existence.  

I finaly came out as trans to my husband about 2 years ago and my sibling about a year ago. Ftm (Trans man). They are both very supportive.

I also told my husband about this a few months ago. About being little/pretending I'm little/wanting to be little with him. He was really supportive on that as well. I feel like it's even helped some aspects of our relationship. So, now he's my Bubbies! (my daddy) 

I cried while having that conversation! Haha

When we play/have little time, I know I'm 3. I have nonverbal time and I use my paci. I feel SO MUCH BETTER when I have paci time. Like, I need it. Like, now that I've had it, I can't go back.

I used to suck my thumb when no one was present before talking things through with him. I didn't even know this community was a real thing until I started researching what was "wrong" with me. I thought I was "strange" for wanting these things. But my Bubbies didn't find it strange before I even had words for it! (I love him so much💗) And now I know I'm not alone! I'm just a small part of this big wonderful community! 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it took me so long to figure all of this stuff out about myself. But the feelings haven't changed. I've always wanted these things. I've just now started allowing myself to have them.

* I feel more like myself.

* I feel so validated.

* I feel so loved. 

After growing up - abused/neglected/shamed for feelings out of my control - I'm finally FREE! 

Thank you for listening! 🦕❤️🦖

I'm always open to chat/message if y'all want to be friends! 

[Journey]

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.

[Solitarily_Me]

@Journey Reading this made my heart so happy. I hope your wife realises just how lucky she is to be loved and cherished exactly as she is—and how wonderful it is that you are happy to make that happen for her. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!! 

 

[DaDinosaur]

I really feel out of place on this DDlg  forum, I am in my 50's but it seems all the little personals are for 19 20 yr olds, I hope there are littles in here over 25 or 30,  am I about to age out as a caregiver ?

[Lil_K47]

@JammyJamie Welcome! happy to have you with us!!

@Journey thank you for sharing your lovely story of you and your wife! Welcome!

@DaDinosaur there are most certainly lots of Littles here age 30 and above! For now I would simply suggest just trying to make friends! We have a lot of clubs, you might see if any of those interest you, and it's a good way to meet a lot of the regulars on the site. I would also recommend checking out the caregiver café forum, that's an excellent area to meet a lot of the more experienced caregivers on the site and ask questions! Welcome!

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.

 

I loved reading this! Thank you for sharing

Thats what my partner tells me...kind of "You LARP pretty well as an adult most of the time"...although I am more mid-teens as my middle.

I really feel out of place on this DDlg  forum, I am in my 50's but it seems all the little personals are for 19 20 yr olds, I hope there are littles in here over 25 or 30,  am I about to age out as a caregiver ?

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!

I met my wife when she was 26. She's over 40 now. I'm over 50. So you are not alone.
