Just imagining having a small baby sitting in my lap, a stuffed animal close in their arms and all their toys surrounding us. Their favorite movie would play on the television, and I’d help them eat their favorite snack.

Maybe they’d even color me a picture, and I could tell them how proud I was and hang it on the fridge to show off just how good of a little artist they are.

Giving lots and lots of love to the sweetest baby ever! ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

It’s okay if you need lots of reassurance from your caregiver or your friends. It’s okay if you need help and reminders to get basic tasks done during the day. It’s okay if you need a lot of attention. It’s okay if you need things that may seem “small” or “unimportant” to others.

Your needs matter. Even if they seem silly, tiny, or insignificant. You aren’t annoying or too much for asking for support, you deserve that support. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Thank all of you pals so much! I absolutely adore this blog and seeing the interactions I get, the anons I chat with, the friends I’ve made, and just knowing I’m active in the community!

You all are absolutely incredible, and I am so thankful to have 400 friends that I get to share my content with ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Not sure what else to say except thank you friends, and keep being amazing! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Taking care of a person who’s so special, getting to dot on them and give them gentle love that they deserve! It feels so healing to give that care.

Being silly and sweet as well. Hearing about interests, their day, what they’re up to.

Just having that person who I get to take care of and knowing that they have that trust in me. It’s the best feeling, and I don’t even know how to describe it.

You’re not greedy or too much if you need caregiving most of even all of the time. You aren’t greedy or too much if you’re a permanent regressor, or almost always regressed.

You are still absolutely worthy of a caregiver who can meet your needs. You aren’t a burden, and you absolutely do not need to feel guilty for needing that care and support most or all of the time.

There isn’t anything bad or selfish about it. You’re allowed to need that care.

This is your daily reminders that regressors can also do adult things. Being an age regressor doesn’t take away from being a grown up who does grown up things. And also, some regressors do not want to be talked down to or infantilized when they’re not small, and that’s entirely okay. 

(Of course this can vary regressor to regressor, and that’s perfectly fine too! Just thought it was an important message to put out there.)

You do not ever need to feel pressured into caregiving for someone. Just because you’re in the age regression community does not mean you are obligated to caretake or babysit! Yes, this includes for other friends and even your own caregiver.

Additionally, you don’t have to explain your own boundaries or comfort levels.

Your boundaries are important and deserve respect!

Forget clocking in at my actual job it’s time for me to clock in on agere tumblr

-> Dealing with threats and manipulation. This is not normal! If you set a boundary or go offline and have to manage threats, whether this be about something extreme like suicide or relapsing, or more mild like “if you go away then I guess I just won’t reply either.” This is unhealthy and a red flag.

-> Indirect vents to guilt trip you. If you find yourself seeing them posting things to social media or adjusting their statuses to things such as “I don’t think they even care about me..” or threats of suicide/relapses, this is a guilt trip and not a healthy form of communication.

-> Excessive attachment. Being unable to leave your phone for an hour or two without returning to a span of messages depending you reply is unhealthy! To be clear, messaging to say they miss you and spamming cute things isn’t unhealthy. But if you genuinely get worried not being able to reply to them for an hour or so, this isn’t healthy.

-> Using you as a therapist. If all your conversations are just them venting, this is a very big red flag! If you’re never asked about yourself, and all the conversations are revolving about their feelings and problems, this is not a healthy, caring dynamic to have.

-> Weaponizing regression. Regressing to manipulate you not into leaving them, or to manipulate you out of feeling comfortable setting a boundary is very much still toxic. If everytime you try to set boundaries or have serious conversations they’re regressing to get out of it, or regressing to force you to caretake when you needed a break, this is unhealthy!

-> Disrespect of boundaries. Needing a break from caregiving, setting limits on what you’re comfortable with, etc, is okay! You deserve to feel safe and comfortable. If you’re receiving anger or guilt trips as a response to this, that’s unhealthy behavior.

Caregivers- you deserve a safe relationship with your little! People may try and take advantage of your kindness and care- for this reason, stay safe and stay aware. Your health matters too. ♡︎

-> It’s okay to take time for yourself.

-> You aren’t letting anyone down or disappointing anyone by needing a break.

-> You deserve to put yourself first.

-> Setting boundaries are necessary, important and healthy.

-> You’re doing incredibly.

-> If you’re a flip, you deserve to take time for your own regression.

-> You are worthy of a support system and a listening ear.

-> Your feelings and needs matter too.

As a caregiver I feel like every caregiver as at least one fictional character that they know would be the perfect little one ! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Mine is Kate Bishop from the MCU (if you’ve seen her in Hawkeye, I think it’s pretty self explanatory.) If you’re a caregiver or a flip and have a fictional character in mind, feel free to share! I’m curious >:3

Virtually tucking all little ones into bed with a stuffie and a bedtime story at this very moment :b

Okay can we all talk about how hard it is to find a flip as a flip.. 🥲 or just meet people? It feels like everyone is looking for a caregiver or a little but it never works out for some reason 😩.

Rant over? But phew it’s tough out here !!
