Objectvie Pareting ?

I know some of you guys out there are parents, and this is open to anyone with an opinion, so be my guest.

Do you think you can be objective when it comes to making decisions for your own children, on things like potty training, or bed wetting, and the like? And if you don't think you could be completely objective, do you think that could be a bad thing?

I'd like to hear what you think, your experiences, or your conjecture.

I'm not a parent but I would potty train my child like normal and if they showed a want to wear diapers or if they grow older and still have wetting problems (after ruling out a medical condition) I would openly talk to them about diapers to find out how they feel and what they are thinking. I would certainly have no problem with them continuing to wear diapers if thats what they truly want but I would make sure to help them understand all the aspects of diaper wearing as they grow older. every child and situation would be different but I wouldn't encourage any sexual desires towards diapers at a young age, in fact I would be very much against it. I would however encourage my child to accept their feelings and desires and help them deal with them appropriately. I hope however that my child wouldn't have the desire to continue to wear diapers or at least hope its more accepted by society by then. of course they would be pre disposed to them as I don't think I will ever give up wearing them and I certainly wont allow myself to be a hypocritical parent (unless its necessary) but I would hope my child would be intelligent enough to decide on their own regardless of what I or their mother does.

in summary I wouldn't want my child to become an AB/DL and I would parent them as appropriately and as 'normally' as I am capable of, but wouldn't discourage it if my child showed interest.

I am also not a parent yet, though I do look forward to that time. I strongly feel that raising my child on the same general time line is important. Though I don't intend to stop wearing diapers, or any of my baby clothes. I feel that this may help teach my child something that I feel very strongly about. Not just in accepting adult babies and diaper lovers, but most others also. It is important not to try and preasure a child toward wearing diapers either, but after being raised in this way, they may feel they can be more open about embarrassing topics such as wearing diapers, etc.

I see no relationship whatsoever between my consenting adult choices regarding sexuality / eroticism and parenting. Those are two totally different worlds.

My sexuality, and my kids sexuality, are our own business. I’m not talking about education / information exchange, I’m talking about what we all choose to do in our own bedrooms with other adults of our choice.

Being DL had no relationship to / impact on toilet training. Objective was to have them out of diapers as soon as reasonably possible – no parent longs to prolong the mess, expense and rash challenges of diaper wearing.

I just totally disagree with you whole premise. Parenting is about trying to help another individual get a decent start at being an OK human without going nuts yourself. DL is about erotic play. They just do not cross wires.

I would raise them normally. I'd start them potty training at the appropriate age, talk with them candidly in case of bedwetting or daytime accidents. I'd do what any true parent would do in these situations, get their feelings on the situation. I'd probably go as far as to give up diapers for my kids, just so it has zero chance of affecting them.

I've never had anyone with whom I could discuss my interest in diapers until I joined here. So I can imagine great difficulty in talking to my kid about it, in the off-chance they discover them. Should my kid find interest and pleasure in diapers, I'd put down the following ground rules:

-First of all, diapers are expensive. Buy your own.

-Keep all your diapering in your room. Don't wear them outside your house, because the kids in school will be absolutely ruthless should they find out. And most likely they will.

-Clean up after yourself. Don't pee on my furniture.

I can't believe many wives or girlfriends are okay with letting their children be exposed to this sort of fetish. I see it as sexual in nature. In other words take away my sex drive and the diapers go along with it. Therefore, I would not expose my kids to this just as I wouldn't say come watch mommy and daddy have sex.

If somehow it were exposed later, I would not lie to my kids. There's many ways that a secret could be exposed a divorce or just a brutal argument between two people are two ways for something bad to come to light. I would like to think that my wife would never expose my secret but I've had an ex that did it so I wouldn't put it past my wife to do it either--if she were angry enough.
