What if you have to be 'Big' for a while?

[HisDumbBunny]

I just got back from a family vacation where I had to be careful not to be Little for a whole week. I didn't have access to any Little things (my suitcase didn't fit my stuffie and I thought my colors and colorbooks would be too obvious) or people who understood that side of me. It was super, super hard and by the end of the week I could feel myself getting really cranky and bratty... It felt like I could slip into a little tantrum at any moment...

 

Does anyone have any tips on what to do if that happens again? Or a similar story to tell?

Ugh I feel this all the time. I usually play on apps or text little friends when i feel this way because its a quieter way of letting that side out. Being a mom forces me to be so responsible and focused a lot, so i also try to make sure at night when everyone is asleep that i get to watch a show or do something to relax.

I usally ever get to stay in little space for than 3 hours because my family doesn't know about my lifestyle and they don't approve of ddlg.... i always sleep in my daddys clothes at night though.

Awww I wish I could've done those things, but between my phone acting up and all the judgement from my family whenever I so much as looked at it for longer than a few minutes... I couldn't play any games :'c

 

And no 'daddy clothes' for me to have slept in...

 

Great suggestions though!!

Do you have any young family members to play with? Or maybe marathon Disney movies? Get an adult coloring book and colored pencils, adults use those too! And ultimately, depending on your age, as an adult you have the right to set a boundary and express that if your family is going to be judgemental to you or disrespect your life whether they know the whole story or not that you are going to distance yourself from them.

I get really cranky too.. or I start noticing little things that make me really anxious to the point I can feel it starting but I can't stop it. Time alone away from your family is pretty good - did you ever get times when they were in the bathroom and you were alone in your room? Or shops you passed that might intrigue your little side, I always go in. If it's a holiday - anything is okay right? :') I can usually spot when it's about to happen.. and I just repeatedly tell myself to calm down and to breathe and think about Daddy otherwise I spiral into some downward cycle that lasts forever

I can relate to this!! I live with my parents still and can't really be as little as I like, can't wait to live by myself and just walk around the house in the cutest clothes and stuff. Anyways, my suggestion would be drawing, or watching/doing stuff on your phone, like play a cute game or watch cartoons on youtube! :3

I guess it was that it was a week sleeping on a couch bed with nothing to cuddle in a suite where I "had to" constantly be around someone in my family (we're all adults) so I couldn't take more than bathroom breaks without being watched... or that's what it felt like at least.

I have slept in various living rooms for 4-8 years now, so I use literally any alone to be in little space. It isn't much (a few hours a week), but it gets me by. I wish I could be little all the time I'm at home.
