I want to tell my mom I am a ......?

Question

I am a Infantlist, but more so a Teen Baby, I turn to Infantilism because I didnt really have a childhood and wanted to have a better one, so there you go. I tried to tell my mom by askign her about her opion but she said people who do that were crazy! I dont want her to think I am crazy cause I am not, I jsut have a second chance at being a kid. My favorite thign to do is suck my thumb (been doing that, my mom does it too) and sleep with my purple Care-Bear even though she bought it for me (my cousin was into Care-bears so she though I just got hooked by her but it a tool of Infantilism for me). I have told one friend and she is okay, the others dont know. How do I tell someone about it? I am tired of hiding it!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thirteen for those of you who keep calling me an adult, I just left my child hood a little while ago! And I know she will, she doesnt believe people do this stuff no matter how much I tell her or show her sites about it. She also said that DL's (Diaper Lovers , I am not one but some of my friends are) and AB's (adult baby) and every one who is one or supprorts it is crazy! I am not going to stay here forever, just till I am okay with now. I mean I would rather be doing what I am doign then what I did last year.

(I drew bombs and drew myself near them and talked about seeing dead people! and I meant it to! Not anymore though, at the time I did..now I htink its stupid!)

Okay, sorry but I have to say this: I can makeout! I am not a spoiled brat , there are 3 other children living here and I put them before myself, so think about what you are going to say before you do! As for the ones who said therapist, I only talked to my 'big sister' (she isnt but she is good enough to be one) The ones that think I need to grow up, I am semi-tb cause I cant really act like it at school and if I hide it from people I am not about to be showing that I do it, just yet.

Answer 1

Hey I think that the way you are feeling is totally ok, and your mom should respect what you want to do, it seems as though every person on this site is boring, and cant get out of their own world, diapers are no big deal, when you have a drug problem, drinking problem or gambling debts thats when you should see a counselor, until then you shuold have no worries, and anyone who hates on you just dosnt know any better

Answer 2

infantilism comes out of our earliest childhood experiences! It cannot be suppressed only controlled. Once you enduldge in its comforts it will be difficult to keep what you fantasize about separate from what you can live with in reality! It will take over your life just as a drug would! the more you do it the more extreme and pronounced it will become. Telling your mom or dad is strictly up to you! It will be difficult for them to understand your behavior and may cause them to feel responsible and guilty. Enjoy yourself in moderation and budget your time role playing along with all other aspects of your life to create a good healthy balance between infantilism and everything else important to you!!! you are not alone!

Answer 3

It's ok to nurture a lost childhood as long as you don't stagnate there. Sleeping or cuddling with a Care Bear for comfort is fine as long as you can continue to progress in age appropriate ways in other areas of your life. A complete regression is not healthy and will end up doing you more harm than good. It sounds like some talk therapy might benefit you to help you deal with your painful, lost childhood. I am sorry for whatever you had to go through and I wish you the best.

Answer 4

You do need some behavioral counseling to help you get through the fact you feel like you missed out and miss a childhood.

You are still a child/minior and have the ability to still have amazing connections.

You are 13 and not 2 years old. Able to be taken seriously, called mature and be treated with respect is to be your age.

You are searching for something that you can not, ever, go back to.

You do need to discuss this and with a counselor to help you get the best treatment.

This is not healthy for your emotional nor mental state.

Answer 5

Just tell her.If your mom really loves you then she will understand and if she doesn't at least you told her so she can't find out later by someone else.Tell some of your closest friends then tell the rest of the people that matter to you. If they truly care about you then they wont care that you are a ..........! As long as you are yourself I don't think any thing else matters.Another thing about the friends if they don't like you for hew you are then they are not really your friends and you should get other friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

most people who say they're into Infantilism, are into being treated like infants, not children. I mean diapers, bottles, and the whole nine yards.
You need to do some research, perhaps at http://www.drruth.com
to find out if that term applies to you. either way, your mom might never grow to accept it. it's sad, but some people aren't prepared to accept different lifestyles. that being said, you aren't alone. there are thousands of people who practice infantilism who would be more than happy to make you feel welcome.
and your friends shouldn't treat you any differently than if you were to tell them you were a lesbian or into bondage. they should know that what you prefer to do in your private life won't affect them unless they want to be a part of your private life.
when it comes time to tell your mom, make sure you have examples to tell her about. like "this guy in Indiana is a lawyer and practices infantilism. let her know that just because you choose to live your life differently than she has lived hers, doesn't mean you won't succeed in life.

Answer 7

Im a bit confused..you are 13 yrs old .You are still in childhood!!!Whatever caused you to feel you lost your childhood.Fix it. You are young.It seems to me you have alot of sadness in your life. Search out some guidance.A school therapist,teacher that you trust and can help direct you. Church if you attend.If you are comfortable with your mom,ask her to get you to see someone.You need to get the saddness dealt with so you can create happier times for yourself.

Answer 8

Well.... Just come out and tell ur mom and of course she wont thing ur crazy. ur her daughter for heavens sake!!! Its normal to act like that if u still want a childhood u never had. Like I said just come out and tell her about it and I'm sure she wont think ur crazy at all. She will just talk to u about it and if she asks u questions just answer them truthfully.

Answer 9

say i have something to tell you and just tell her. that sounds too simple but the longer that you hold it in, the worse that it is for you. if she finds out a different way, it might get messy. be honest. eventually she will get over it. the longer you wait, the longer period of time before she can work it out in her head.

Answer 10

I think that you should consult professional help and talk to a psychologist. Your behaviors are not that harmful at your age, but could be very troublesome later in life.
