Weird things I miss without a Caregiver

[Baby Manda]

I don't have very much experience with DDLG relationships only really one Daddy in real life and one Mommy online. I'm taking some time to process and see where to go next, but I've been thinking about things I really enjoyed and would like again. The randomness of what I like and miss (feel sadness/loss over not having any more and cannot do for myself) is really shocking me! I thought I would share and see if anyone else struggles with similar feelings when not in a DDLG relationship.  

Here's my list:

- I miss having my pigtails tugged playfully (or pulled to get my attention when I don't listen🫣)

- I miss hearing how cute I look in my dresses with leggings, or onesie/nightie and diaper at bedtime. 

- I miss being asked if I ate meals instead of candy or ice cream (it's not the same to mark the app without consequences)

- I miss showing off my coloring!!! I don't even want to start coloring anymore, coz I feel so sad some days. I do use my coloring app on my phone instead.  

- I miss long conversations about nothing. (And being told to get my paci and stop talking). 

- I miss Dad Jokes. 

- I miss someone picking out my clothes for me.

- I think most of all I miss the connections I had and I'm afraid to try again.

I love being little and both relationships ended when we needed to move on. My life is so busy now and I really don't have time to start something new, but I long for just a few things I had before. It's not that I necessarily need them, as I can live without all of this or find alternate ways to get my needs met (self-affirmations are powerful tools! And this forum help a lot!). I just miss so much, which is ok.

I haven’t had a Daddy or Mummy before, but I can understand how those things would be easy to miss!!

but I can help with the dad jokes… even though I am not a dad… I love silly dad jokes! 
Q: How do you put a baby astronaut to sleep? A: You Rock it. 
that’s my all time favourite!

If my Mommy ever tugged on my pigtails, I'd throw a massive Disney Villain-themed temper tantrum (sensitive scalp = owwie), but I can totally understand your sentiment on missing the little things that having a partner can provide.

And everybody knows that Dad jokes are the best!

@Baby Manda I can see that you're going through a deeply reflective time, and I can truly relate to those moments of missing certain things, even when we know we don’t necessarily "need" them. Life can get so hectic, and finding balance is often challenging. It’s completely natural to feel a sense of loss for things we once had. It's wonderful that you've recognized the value of self-affirmations and support from the forum—not only does that show your intelligence, but also a lot of self-awareness and resilience.

It’s also important to let ourselves miss things without judgment. Those feelings are part of our growth, and processing them can reveal a lot about what we truly value. Taking the time to reflect on what comes next is such a healthy step. I’m confident you’ll find new ways to bring those things back into your life, or perhaps discover something even more fulfilling along the way.

Considering how busy you're, you may want to consider having an online CG/Mentor without commitment, so to speak, who may be in a similar situation as you. This would help both of you feel important and special. Alternatively, consider taking a new creative hobby to do with art, photography or something else that you always wanted to try, to not only keep yourself even busier than you now are, but also to feel proud of yourself. 

Finally, remember, you're not alone in what you're currently going through, and many of us go through similar moments and share the same feelings. Being a part of the journey, it's okay to feel a little lost or uncertain at times. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
