The Sippy Cup Sessions : E10 - Being Little With and Without a Caregiver

So, uh, yeah, let's just start out, um, with, you know, what it was like, um, being a little and not having a caregiver, because I feel like for a lot of people that's kinda how they start out.

Um, so let's just, let's kinda talk about our experiences with that.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

Um- So being little without a caregiver, it has its perks and its cons, I th- I would say.

Um, it's nice 'cause you can do whatever you want to [laughs].

Yeah, I, I mean, that is kinda nice, like no rules, no punishments, although sometimes punishments and rules can be fun, but-

Yeah.

Funishments.

Yeah.

I like-- Oh my gosh, yes, funishments, I love that.

That is a perfect term for it.

Um, yeah, it's, you know, I, I think, um, and I'm sure many people can relate to this, it's just, um...

And even we've talked about this kinda a little bit in other episodes, you know, you-- I think as a little, you know, um, admittedly we are a part of a, a niche community, but it- a very passionate one.

So I, I think, um, it's tough, you know? You want general acceptance.

Um, when I look back on my life when I was much younger, I think I really wanted people to, like, accept this part of me, and I think just the way in which I was going about doing it was perhaps a little bit too desperate, you know? Like-

Mm

...

I, I, I think, um, I think it's hard, you know? It, it can be hard, but yeah, it certainly does have its benefits to it.

Um, do you feel like, um, when your partner's not around that you can kinda slip into little space pretty easily for the most part?

Yeah, for the most part, um, for sure 'cause I like to do, like, my little hobbies and stuff when I'm alone.

Yeah.

Like coloring and arts pr- arts and crafts projects and, um, watching my videos and playing games and stuff, so it's not, it's not all bad.

Yeah.
