I wore diapers for the first four years of my life, and a little bit into the fifth year. I went all the way to 24 before I ever wore another one, and then only sporadically for the next twenty years. That's a lot of years of wearing underwear in public. For the last 10 years, I'd would say I've worn diapers in public far more than underwear (although I do wear boxers over my diaper).

Emma has me fascinated as a character. She presents as an absolute miserable self-absorbed young teen, but she let Hannah join them, she tried to remind Hannah about her potty watch, and she gave Hannah her water bottle. She is way more complex than simple than a 12-year-old who is hanging out with a same-age cousin who is 'special'. Remember- she doesn't know what Maddy is thinking, and she has keep up appearances. Hannah reminds me of student we had in the FLS class (highest level of mod/severe class. We had evacuation drill, and we were supposed to line up on football field based on our class. One of us didn't pay attention to where we supposed to line up on the football field, the other lost her class but recognized me a responsible adult. she found me, and never left my side (even if I didn't know WTF I was doing). I choose to stay where I was and let her class find us. She's has 2010 hardware, and trying operate Windows 11, doing the best she can. PS- your genius of character development is letting Hannah school the two middle school soccer stars.

You mean like you are doing all the talking when somebody has a different opinion than you. FTR- we don't know if she is wearing diapers (I don't see it). We do know that Greta is very serious about climate change and started at a relatively young age. It's just my opinion, but I think getting all twisted and horrible over somebody who expressing concern for climate change is pretty stupid. The reality is, whether you're willing to admit it, is that we aren't doing enough to combat climate change. It's manmade, even if that fact upsets people.

For somebody who people accuse of being an attention whore- she is does a great job getting their panties in twist. People making those type of disgusting comments should be embarrassed for yourself. I don't think there is anything diaper-related to in the picture, and it's become an outlet for people to behave like immature kids who need a time-out.

Emma is not a very nice person. That typical for kids in middle school, they are awful people. They are mean, self-centered, narcistic monsters (a bit like politicians). When I was teaching middle school, I heard a theory that middle school is like another version of the terrible twos. They are ready to take on the world, but still think they are the center of the universe. FTR- by 10th grade- kids stop being mean- they are just stupid. I think you've shared that you're writing Maddy as a bit on the spectrum. She doesn't appear to be neuro-typical, but after 23 years in biz- I'm not sure what neuro-typical means. It just some students less typical than others. Based on how you've written her, I don't think she would have an IEP, but she is not like Sarah (AMR) either. She strikes me as a C+/B- student. FTR- that was me. I got an A in Geography (I'm a bit of savant) the 1st quarter, and my dad said "why don't do that all the time?" I made sure not to make that mistake again. I was OK C's, My dad wanted B's. I shot for a B, but aimed low. By my senior year- my aim was really good. I had that C+ dialed in.

I don't see it.

From the lady's viewpoint. I'm not shaming their kink, but something that happened when I wasn't there and know nothing about disgusts me. I'm almost certain children do far worse things with those ball than the adults will. Very few would put those balls in their mouth, but little kids might.

In that case, I agree. If it is visible in public, then it is not private.

AFAIK, it was in private. It's a spa, which is private.

I have a sense that Maddy wetting the bed after taking the pills will give it away that she is doing it on purpose. I'm not 100% certain, but I think those pills suppress the function of the kidney so that you can't produce as urine overnight. It's a powerful drug. I think Maddy's hopes of getting put in Pull-ups are looking bleak.

The parents strike me as one of those who will do anything to avoid going to d-word. Sarah's mother would have put Maddy in diapers by now, but Maddy's parents aren't going for it.

Maddy had an interesting realization about peeing her pants. BTW- why haven't her parents contacted a doctor yet? I mean a sudden change is not normal.

I have a few students who have bathroom privileges written into their IEP, and for the most part it not a problem. The good ones will usually tell me why they took a long time, and some of them just need a break. We're not supposed to let more than one kid out at a time. My classes are so small that it shouldn't be a problem, but it does happen. I once had a girl ask me to use the bathroom, but I told her wait because one kid already out. The kid who was away got lost coming back to my class and was out for at 15 minutes (it's a big campus). In case you wondering, getting lost is a euphemism I use when a student goes galivanting around the campus. To be honest, that kid being out of the classroom was perfectly fine with me because I didn't have to deal with him for those 15 minutes. My inner clock told me to let the girl go to the bathroom, and she went, came back, and asked me if she could wait in my room for the first part of lunch because her mom was going to pick her up. I didn't ask what happened because it's none of my business, but whatever it was- I don't want it to happen on my watch. It didn't happen in my class, but one of my SPED colleagues (SPED have the best stories) had a student away for 40 minutes. He came back with Chipotle and then got upset because he wasn't allowed to eat in class. FTR- I don't know how he made it to Chipotle, got his food, and made it back to class by the end of the period. If you could do that, why did he choose Chipotle? Here is the thing: there are natural consequence for missing 1/2 of a class, and if you constantly do stuff like that and still do well in class, we're wasting their time. I get the idea that some kids don't care about the consequences, but if they don't care about the consequences, they don't care about school. I can't make them care about school. I can help them care, but not if the environment is so toxic that it looks like a prison. Sadly, some of those kids will get that eventually, but that doesn't mean we have to do it for everybody.

Here is the problem with that attitude: there are a lot of kids in a high school. The high school I teach at has almost 3000 students, and kids don't have enough time to use the bathroom during passing period. Especially if there are a lot of students trying to use the bathroom at the same. Ok, some kids abuse the privilege, but I'll let you in on a little secret. I frequently head to bathroom when we have a professional development, and it's not always that I need to use the bathroom. I do it because I need to get up and stretch, and need a short break from the boring stupid stuff that they are trying to teach me. I'm an adult and professional learner, so I shouldn't expect my students to do better me. FTR, students are no worse today than they were when I was in high school. They less self-reliant, which is because we don't foster independence in our students anymore, but kids did bad stuff in the bathrooms when I was kid and they still do.

That is always a delicate line when writing stories, especially with a kink genre. The best thing for an author to do in that case is to ignore the 'suggestions' and write the story that they intended. The fortunate thing is that if the story goes to far, but stays within the guidelines of the board is to just stop reading the story. This isn't HS, so nobody is making you read a story that you don't want to read. HS teachers are the worst😁 For me, I start losing interest in a story when the protagonist is regressed to infancy, or even pre-toddler stage. I don't mind if the character is temporarily regressed to an infantile stage, but not if they are permanent
