Any one have the same feeling and experiences as I did as a child? It's kind of a gender thing.
When I was a young boy, and diaper lover, for me I always was a DL. I always seemed frustrated on the point of being associated with the care of babies. The thing for me was, I would have loved to have been able to take interest in babies and the care of babies. I was intrigued by this thought. When I was really young I sometimes wanted to play with dolls. On occasion I got the chance. This was because I had an older sister and friends of hers who played dolls, and to their objections I would be allowed to participate in doll play. But, even at my youngest age I knew this was not what boys were support to be interested in, dolls and taking care of babies. Mind you, at the same time I was all boy and wanted nothing to do with being a girl. I did most things a boy would do, but I still had this thing about taking care of babies. Now this was back in the mid to late 60's and things were still kind of boys on one side and girls on the other. So I always knew I could not show any real big interest in something that was what was for Girls, or MOMMIES! Later on too I still felt this way. I loved to try and hear what the mothers were saying about their babies, especially diapering needs. I also felt I had to be careful and not show to much interest in a girl subject. I was always so frustrated by being a boy, wanting to be a boy, but still wanting to be able to be in on baby rearing and the like. I always envied the girls in this, no one would think twice if a girl took interest in babies, baby items, and care of babies. If a boy took such interest in these things, you just know heads would turn and it wasn't good. The girls always were thought to be the best baby sitters too.
Now I know there were exceptions to this whole concept. Boys who had younger siblings and were expected to care for them for one example. But to me that's different, that's more necessity. I'm talking about the desirer to do so when there was no need.
Does any one else have any feelings like mine? Or if you just want to add something, from any side? Being a boy, or being a girl, or other for that matter.
I may not have expressed myself as well as I might like, but I think there may be others who have the same feeling and experiences?
