WOW how ironic ! I came on this site tonight because I needed to blog about my own experience as to what being a mommy to my baby boy means to me, and I find this post.
Let me explain how it is for me and see if this helps you.
You've been a mommy for 3 weeks, and I am going on my 3rd YEAR with Peter.
I met him online in another (non-ABDL) chat room. But he used his screen name Pampers Pete in there as well as in here. He was a regular to that room and I used to chat with him late nights whenever I saw him there.
One night my curiosity got the best of me. I PMed him and asked him if the "pampers" part of his name was what I thought it was. His reply....a very definate "HELL YES !!!! " . A response that sort of impressed me, because I like genuine people who are not afraid to express themselves regardless of what others might think of them. I further asked him some questions about how he felt about his identity as a baby, and remember one very curious thing he said....."but I'm still a man ! "
That's when I knew that his baby side was just a "part" of him, and it was something that you either accept or don't, much like if someone likes or dislikes football. It is a part of his personality and character, and something that you are either attracted to or not. I was. For reasons I will explain later.
The more Peter and I chatted, the more I asked him to tell me about his lifestyle. He was eager to share links and articles with me to help me better understand some of the details about mommy/baby relationships since I showed a real interest in learning. I think someone already touched on this about asking what your man likes or is interested in.
One of the reasons I was attracted to this man was because I am in a very bad marital relationship right now that I am in the process of changing. My marriage is void of intimacy and communication. Peter moved out here from the midwest to meet me, and to make a really long story short, I became romantically involved with Peter and learned to be his mommy.
Part of the mommy/baby bond for me is that intimacy connection. It is a process of giving and receiving between two individuals, much like love itself.
There are things I know about Peter's life that I won't share here, but I will say that I know some of those things have been intensely stressful for him. When he and I engage in mommy/ baby roleplay and when he gets his diapers changed, you can see the stress leave his face and he becomes very, very relaxed. He is receiving that attention that he so badly needs and so am I. It is extremely fulfilling for me when I can give this type of maternal attention to him.
That connection is what bonds me to the relationship as well. It is very much like a real maternal bond. I feel that I am providing the man I love with a physical satisfaction that only I can give him, because let's face it, you only have ONE mommy. The roleplay becomes real the more you engage in it. That's basically it. You need to learn as you go, just like a new young mother does with a newborn. Of course, my boy is already a toddler and that in itself presents other challenges LOL
For us it has been a lot of experimentation. We try new things. Just last month we did some new games and playtime and I read him a story for the very first time. Yep first time in three years. I found a story book that I liked that identified with our relationship as well as with his baby side.
Shopping in the infant and toy sections will help you. Playing the customer role when you shop will help you to connect to your AB very quickly.
Just one more note about that maternal connection. It IS real. or it becomes real. Peter and I have been having some difficult times right now, because as I said earlier, I am in the process of changing my personal situation. And it has added to a strain in our relationship.
I feel threatened by some others in his life right now who I feel are trying to distract him or take him away from me. It's much like that story in the Bible about the two mothers fighting over the infant and the king wants to cut the child in half to settle the dispute. One woman agrees, but the child's real mother cannot bear to see her child hurt so agrees to give him up to save his life.
That is how I have been feeling lately, like my child is being taken from me and I can't bear to lose him. I feel torn and like I am losing a very real part of me.
My point is that you will get involved if the connection is the real thing. You need to become involved in his fantasy as part of your own and it can become really a beautiful experience.
I hope that helps you. It has helped me quite a bit to express my feelings on this.
Good luck to you.
