I think we need to be careful to not encourage or approve behavior that hinders our forward movement. CGs are there as a safe place, a hiding place even, at times, but they're also there to facilitate our growth!Caregivers can tend and nurture us in ways that still acknowledge the truth that we are responsible for our own health and happiness. We can be strong and confident and capable, while still enjoying intimacy within the relationship. It's not an either/or proposition, we can do both!

I stole this and sent it to Daddy, because just the night before this was our scenario!!![]()

This is well said, Honey. I always appreciate the time taken when my Daddy (present and past) encourages me to grow, to try new hobbies, read books outside my norm, even when they encourage me to go meet people knowing how shy I am. I appreciate the way they give a new perspective on things that I hadn't seen. I appreciate the 'keys' to success that he provides, and how he expects me to be able to encourage myself through all the things he's provided.
And, if he's not there for something that needs my attention, I am the badass woman I need to be... and I appreciate the praise he gives.
I CAN go through life and make things happen and do what needs doing, but it's so good to have him as my best friend.![]()

I think it was incredibly well said. It leads me to YET ANOTHER "is this a thing?" Question.
I see you both mention "a hiding place" even.
I have a personality quirk, I call it my turtle shell or hibernating. When things get completely overwhelming and I feel like I can't fix or change anything I tend to curl into my turtle shell. I keep up self care, but I stop dealing with other people. I go incommunicado until I can cope again, until I can do something productive to change the situation or the thing is done. I know it isn't productive, but it is a form of self preservation.
Does this sound familiar at all? The exception to the rule is *person* that I curl up into. May times I can't even really do a ton of discussing, it is just *hold me make it OK* and it does. At that point cuddles make the world better. I've told *person* I wish I could curl up and live either in your pocket or inside you right now, yep, that'd be good.
The reason I say *person* not "Sir" is because this has been true forever, regardless of who I was with or our dynamic. I know at least back to my first boyfriend. I distinctly remember that when my grandpa died and my mom was diagnosed with cancer in the span of a month.
So is turtle/ hibernate/ hide a thing? Or just a me quirk?

That moment when you are doing something completely unrelated for work and run into something *perfect*.
I just read the short story "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros. If you haven't read it, do. You can find the text online easily.
I think this might be appropriate for quite a few people here:
" what they don't understand about birthdays and what they never tell you is that when you're eleven, you're also ten, and nine, and eight, seven, six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one. ...like some days you might say something stupid and that's the part of you that's still ten. Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mamma's lap because you're scared, and that's the part of you that's still five. And maybe one day when you're all grown up maybe you will need to cry like you're three, and that's OK. That's what I tell mama when she's sad and she needs to cry. Maybe she is feeling three.
Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like the rings inside of a tree or like my wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one. That's how being eleven years old is."
It goes on, but I thought it too appropriate not to share.

I saw you say that somewhere else!![]()

You are definitely not alone in this.
I've been doing this the past week. I come here for fun, not drama.
All the negative things going on it seems, here on the PG. It was affecting me, and I took off. Everytime I peeked in, people were going at it again.
I draw away from people when I need time to think. I ask myself what I need, who I need, etc. It's a self-protection thing. I'm back today because, after talking with my Daddy, my best friend, my nerd... he suggested deleting my subscriptions and keeping only a few that I felt I needed. This one, the fort, and one other. It was a perfect solution!
Did I mention he's amazing?

I got kind of rambly thereDid I answer your question?

sounds like something exactly like Daddy would say.
I don't know that it was so much a question - just a comment that sometimes cuddling seems much more desirable!![]()
Maybe it's just me, but cuddling a precious little makes me feel masculine, viril and powerful.

Dr. Daddy's Prescriptions For a Happy Little Girl
************************************************
Hard day at work... foot massage from Daddy
Gained 3 pounds... Daddy kisses all over
Someone died on t.v.... predicament bondage until sufficiently distracted
Feeling rather unwell... cup of tea made by Daddy
Grocery store stopped carrying favorite flavored water... blowjob until completion, and then lick Daddy clean
Drama with the fam... neck and shoulder rub from Daddy
Shark week and hormonal crying... a good hard spanking followed by a good hard fuck
Tired babygirl... sleepy Daddy snuggles under Daddy's quilt



this made me laugh and laugh coz I had a Dom (we are still friends) It was a LDR and he would be like "Its time for you to close your eyes and go to sleep" and I would plead to talk more (I still love talking with him) and one day he read me the book "Go The F@#* To Sleep" I laughed so hard! But I went to sleep so happy 


Sorry for the double post, but yes...this I can 100% say fits. Mostly the wanted, cared for, belonging...those are definitely driving forces. Add I need to feel I please. I need to feel helpful. I need to feel I make him proud.

I added a list of threads I thought might be good for when littles aren't feeling like flirting or discussing sexy things, here:

Yes, it's a big list.
I had a rough night and morning, and needed a creative project to distract me. It worked!

So, "daddy" implies a family situation of some sort, yes? But in this case there is a distinct suggestion of dom/sub relationship? Yes I'm a little dense![]()

Pardon me if I misunderstand... but, aren't you the same guy who posed this question in Miss Honey's thread over the weekend, when you didn't know what a Daddy was?
This one :
She answered that post much the same way I did in PM. Suddenly, you're a Daddy?
I'm not trying to argue, but I would like clarification. We aren't here (the ladies) to be taken advantage of.
bfg, i wanted to try and participate, I'm sure I'm not a qualified daddy, though I do have some sensibilities and attraction to the situation. I do beg your pardon![]()
