Dom and caregiver

[PopeyeSky]

Hi. I'm new here and as well to being classified as a middle.

My Dom and I want to know, what is the difference between a caregiver and a Daddy?

To me Caregiver, Mommy, and Daddy are all the same thing. Caregiver is the more gender neutral term, however I've heard of female Caregivers being called Daddy. Have yet to hear of a male Caregiver being called Mommy, though.

I guess "caregiver" is a more gender-neutral term, but yes a daddy is most likely a caregiver. When I think of daddy I think of caregiver, but some people who are in dom/sub relationships like to be called daddy sometimes as well. 

 

For me, I have a friend who age regresses and it isn't sexual/related to kink so they use the term carer or caregiver instead of daddy/mommy, but people who are into DDLG (daddy dom little girl) are caregivers if they call themselves daddy 99% of the time! So feel free to use both as a couple, theirs no "difference" per se, just some people who call themselves daddy might not be a caregiver. 

 

Hope that helped, best luck on your journey here!

Caregiver is a category or style of d-types. Its usually specific to a cg/l (caregiver/little) relationship. Daddy is a title that some people use, and it's often found in cg/l spaces, but can also be used outside cg/l spaces. It often carries the implication that that d-type is more focused on nurturing than some of the other aspects of being a d-type. But there's always exceptions to that rule as it can be very personal and open to interpretation.

Caregiver is a gender neutral term (although there are definitely girls who prefer to be called Daddy then Mummy/Mommy so any of the words is up to preference) but caregiver tends to also be used massively in the age-re community (although Daddy/Mommy is also used).

I suppose what I mean to say it's what the category is, whereas Daddy is moreso a title. But then again caregiver could be a title in it's own right (but I also wouldnt look at someone and be like "come here caregiver" haha, but thats just me)

I'm a caregiver (also a switch) to my middle girl. I'm transmasc, but she calls me Mommy because she has a more positive association with that word as something safe and nurturing.

Any guardian should be as responsible as possible regarding the upbringing of children. I know of many cases where parents leave their children with grandparents and go away for a long time. I am against this kind of parenting because children don't get the full measure of parental love and care. It also happens when parents work all the time. I favor initially building the necessary capital to provide the child with everything he needs and not spending too much time working after birth. Children who get enough love and care will also care for their parents in their old age. I'm going out of state for a while, so I found some great options for assisted living properties in California for my mom. I'm sure the professionals will take care of her.
