any tips on how to tell my S/O that im a little?
I just reblogged a post on how to introduce a new daddy/mommy to your regression which might also help.I would say to take things slow. Say “hey I know this sounds weird, but to de-stress I act like a kid and watch cartoons and color. I know that may not seem normal but it’s actually pretty common. It isn’t a sexual thing either, it’s just something I enjoy” and go from there.Explain your reasons for regressing (de-stressing, trauma, fun) and some of the more “normal” parts of your regression first. This would be things like coloring or having stuffed animals, things that aren’t outlandish for a teenager or adult. Then gradually introduce the less normal stuff.Let them know that they don’t have to be a part of anything they don’t want to (consent is very important). If they don’t want to be called daddy/mommy, introduce some different terms that they may be comfortable with! (Even “grown-up” pet names can be good caregiver titles if you want! You can call your caregiver Sweetie, Babe, Marshmallow, Cookie, Cutie, or anything else! It doesn’t have to be Daddy/Mommy/Sir/Miss etc.)Remember that while this is something you’re used to, comfortable with, and can talk about, this is possibly an entirely new world and community for them. Encourage them to make a Caregiver blog, or even just read up on the community and talk with other caregivers. And then lastly- not everyone is cut out for being a caregiver, and not everyone is comfortable with this stuff. If they end up not wanting to be with you, that’s an unfortunate road block, but it’s ultimately better for you. If they don’t want to break up but they don’t want to be involved with your regression, accept that and discuss platonic CGs and how comfortable they are with that, think about your options and their opinions, and make a decision from there. Not every relationship will work out, and this is a tricky thing to work with sometimes. Sorry for making this so long. I hope it helps!
