DD who likes LG things

[Andrew]

So I'm a DD and I like a lot of things that seem to be more attributed to littles. Like baking, stuffies, disney movies, generally cute and pretty things... The color pink. At times I feel embarassed about this because it feels like I'm not fulfilling my "role".

 

I guess I'm wondering two things: To the DDs, do you ever feel this way? Do your interests and preferences ever conflict with your persona and does it bother you? And to the LGs, what do you think of a Daddy who does stuff like this?

Maybe you're not a "Daddy", maybe you're more of a Mommy, or another type of Caregiver. And yes I did mean Mommy, the titles aren't bound to gender! I've met many female "Daddies". Like gender we tend to attribute certain stereotypes to roles, even in the BDSM world! If anything it means you'd connect to a little a lot better than some, theres less of a contrast. 

 

Also having things in common with people when you're not in those roles/mindsets is always very good and I'm sure someone who is into that stuff outside of being wee would enjoy that. c: 

 

(Now please bake me all the things yes okay.)

I don't think liking those things is bad, because your little is totally going to want to play with you, so I would think it'd be a plus, personally.

Honestly I think it's good for a Daddy to be interested in little things. It breaks my heart when littles post here saying their Daddy doesn't get excited about their crayon drawings or won't sit down with them and watch a Disney movie because a good Daddy SHOULD be just as enthusiastic as his little. It makes littles really, really happy when their bigs participate in their little space shennanigans. I love that my Daddy prefers my Tinkerbell skirt over the My Little Pony. I love that he wanted to pick out my pink flowery bedsheets for me. Or that he'll play the activities in my coloring book with me. That's the kind of stuff that makes for an awesome Daddy.

Maybe you've got an interest in switching roles or exploring gender switching. In my late teens and early 20's I did this a bit. I outgrew it after a few years and "learned" by role if that makes sense.

I know biological dads who like all that stuff.  They really get into picking out their kids clothes, toys, etc.  They don't just like those things for their kids, they genuinely enjoy them too.  Maybe not in quite the same way..... though most of them truly like watching Disney movies and cartoons and stuff.  Saying that you must be more of a Mommy than a Daddy is sort of gender sterotyping, isn't it?  Boys can like girl things, and girls can like boy things! 

 

So I think that liking Little stuff as a DD would be completely natural.  I'd personally hope that my Daddy would like th things I like and not just tolerate them!

I think it's perfectly okay to like these things!!! No matter what gender you are, you can like anything! If you're having fun, it's always absolutely okay.

There is a difference between liking a stuffie/enjoying playing with it with your Little AND needing a stuffie like a Little does. I totally enjoy all the things Littles do. I have fun coloring. But I have fun coloring as a Daddy interacting with his Little. This can apply to everything. Do you enjoy it in and of itself or do you need/want it with the ferocity of a Little?

 

Daddies interact with Little stuff for fun

Little are in a symbiotic relationship with Little stuff emotionally

This is all really good advice, I appreciate it and it helps ease my concerns a lot.

 

@laidbackdaddy that's interesting to think about, it makes a lot of sense. I suppose my interests in these things are purely based on my fun, no symbolism or emotional comfort. But I also enjoy them all without a little.

I totally understand where you're coming from, and I enjoy little things as well. Heck, look at my avatar!

 

I too think it's a great trait, because all my littles in the past have seemed to enjoy that I got enjoyment out of their playtime as well. I think it really helps doms connect with their little, and even understand them a bit better. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of!
