Thanks Belinda. I am hoping that the book will find at least a moderate readership. it is certainly an important area of AB life. MOst have poor relationships with their partners regarding their Little side. With a bit of luck this book might help some.

I've got a question for you all and I'd appreciate your opinions. Ive just finished writing my book on Little Ones and their relationships with their partners. It is 90,000 words and 360+ pages and is just in the review and edit stage. Getting published in paperback now is about as likely as winning the lottery but without the payoff. I've decided to put the book in Kindle format because otherwise I will spend 2 years going from publisher to publisher only to be rejected at the end of the process.
So, how many of you use the Kindle or download to your ipad, ipod, iphone, PC or other device? Would you be likely to pay $8 for a largish book on this topic? I've put out the 80 page working document on here earlier and the response has been excellent.
The other question is, is there a graphic artist who can help me (or do it!) with a front cover or someone with a suitable photo of illustration? The book title is "There's a baby in my bed!" and is primarily targetted towards the partner of an AB/Little rather than the AB themselves, although an AB would get a lot of help from it as well. What I am looking for is a photo or good drawing of (preferably) a young woman sitting up in bed while a partner lies next to her asleep in a diaper or with a pacifier or something else that identifies him as an AB. Or any other ideas from you graphically-oriented types!

The show was interesting and certainly the best so far on TV. But that's not to say it was good as I dont think it was. Did it harm the community? No, but nor did it help. I agree with other posters that a 24/7 baby (not that he is really tho) is a bad reflection ont eh community because the vast majority hvae a very small amount of time as a baby. And the people who just enjoy tiems of regression or roleplaying as a child never get seen or discussed. Almost ALL 'lifestyle' fetishes are inherently dysfucntional to a degree. Brett allows this to destroy his relationships and his sexuality. That is dysfunctional (like it or not).
over time (and a lot of it) the community at large will become more aware of the existence of regression and Littles and Adult Babies and eventually there will be a greater degree of understanding. My problem with shows liek this is that the audience is mainly coming off a ZERO base of knowledge. people fear and reject that which they dont understand. A one hour TV show could perhaps educate and inform an audience and take them from a zero base to at least some degree of knowledge. But a 5min interview liek this is hopeless. very little information is transmitted and it is sensationalised and probably always will.
But my point remains that until the world at large is aware of who Littles and Adult Babies are in a general sense, these kinds of interviews will always come across as a freak show no matter how good the interviewer is.

I finished my first draft of the book - 85000 words. now comes the hard part - getting a publisher! if anyone here is a publisher or has any contacts please let me knoe!

wow i must say i am really impressed with the article and i was moved to tear and here is why i am ab sissy my age is 2 yrs old i never been able to put my feeling into words . i have read that article three time and the more i read it i find more about my self . i want to say thank you for writing this article of course my shrink think i sm nut and need to be locked up . any way thank you soooo much
Then feel free to give it to your shrink or even better get him to BUY the book when it is published. The first draft (330 pages) is nearly complete.

So if I relabelled those paragraphs as 'Abstract' instead you woudl be happy? Hey, its a totally free rather small download that you realise is either for you or no within 3 minutes of reading! I'd be interested in your feedback on the content however. I am also looking for case histories of ABs in a relationship.

yes i was asking if it dealt with the sexual fetish aspect of being an ab or dl... as in does the fact that for many people being treated like a baby is a HUGE turn on, get addressed in regards to the role the caregiver takes...or is there a section about how many people enjoy sexually being punished -- spankings, forced messings, etc...etc... thats all... I was just curious which angle this article took is all.
yes and no! The book's purpose is not predominantly a how-to of fetish behaviour with diapers. It is actually mainly about non-fetish regressives like a lot of people here for whom being an Adult Baby is far more than sexuality.It is about how a partner can understand and live with a regressive AB and enter a 'parent/child' relationship of sorts. Sex obviously is part of that as well as some kinky aspects, but in main the book is about relationships, not sex. A common relational mistake is to base it on sexual attraction and performance. When that wanes or ends, so does the relationship. True long lasting relationships are based on far, far more and the sex is the icing onthe cake, not the cake itself.
-
so i take it this article doesn't have anything to do with the sexual aspect of this which there is for many people? I haven't read it....
Given that the article deals with RELATIONSHIPS then the sexual aspect gets treatment of course. It just isnt the primary topic.

My boyfriend/little one, really wants me to read this article, and I'd actually like to.... but it's proving difficult for me to want to read. Are people really so opposed to loving their partners in spite of who they are? It must be sad to be married to someone that doesn't understand you. I realise that this was your exact reason for writing such a book, but the cautionary tone is a little unsettling.
What is unsettling? The reality is that most partners struggle with their partners regression and infantilism. It's not soi much a question of unwillingness to understand but usually inability. Infantilism can be incomprehensible to most people without any exposure to it. My book will expose people to it while at the same time give them suggestions and skills to build a better relationship with their Little one.

Thanks Honu for your reply and question. I now find a deep sense of satisfaction out of being his baby mother. I wont say that it was thaat way at the start or for quite some time. As I have no 'little side' myself it is purely a parental aspect that I enjoy. Im yoru typical mother that enjoys(ed) almost all of the parental aspects of having kids even the nappy changes and feeds. They are just all part of the entire caring routine. I find caring for my baby allows me to continue to express part of that still.
Id be very interested to hear from you how it works for you and yoru wife. I am writing a book (2/3 done first draft!) and I am certainly looking for peoples perspectives and experiences on the Ab relationship or other aspects of babying and regression. You can email me at rosalie.bent@gmail.com if you wish. Same applies to anyone eles that would care to share the Ab relationship experiences and issues!
-
Thanks for all your kind words. Here is the updated article. I am now about 1/3 the way through writing the book. I look forward to any and all feedback and suggestions including personal experiences, success and failures and general thoughts.
-
Im glad most people are finding help from the article. its a pity that a couple of arrogant opinionated posters think it is trash. of course, neither have good relationships so where's the surprise!
-
This was an interesting thread and intersects a lot on what I offer in advice about children discovering an AB parent. You assume they CARE! They probably dont and if they do they most certainly DONT want to know more. In all scenarios the result is the same: status quo.
Did you ever accidentaly catch your parents making love? Did that make you do anything other than wise your brain could be erased? it is similar here. Very few will take any notice and even less will say anything about it.

The updated one is more complete and edited. If you want it just email me.

I hope it is helpful to you and your partner. That is the purpose!

Most of the posts here do miss the point about developing a RELATIONSHIP with your husband's baby side. Its ok. Most people make this mistake.
-
Take it carefully and dont rush. Partners can sometimes act quite adversely to the AB scene based on a total misunderstanding of it. You sound like you are carry quite a load yourself still so it could be a disaster to drag an unwilling/uninitiated person into you world. It is a process and can ake quite a while to do well.
-
After being pestered to do so, I have written an extensive article on how to care for a regressive partner. If anyone wants it or can suggest a better place to post it (if is 34 pages) please let me know or email me at rosalie.bent@gmail.com

About Spelling And Grammer
in Our Lifestyle Discussion
Posted
As well as being a writer, I am also a voracious reader. The real clue to becoming a competent writer is reading. After all, we learn to do pretty much everything else in life by observing others and seeking to emulate them. So why is it that so many internet denizens struggle with the real basics of writing? I know that grammar is no longer taught the way it should be and that some have suffered through the idiotic educational period of time when correct spelling was 'optional', but so what? Is it that big an ask to expect people to grow beyond what they learned (or not) at High School? Was the last skill you acquired thrown at you by a disinterested teacher 10 years ago?
In chat rooms and rapid fire communication venues, spelling and grammar can become a bit ordinary at times and understandably so, but this is not one of those places. It is a forum. I can understand spelling mistakes and typos. I can accept that some people have better education and that some are brighter than others. But this is a written medium. There is no excuse for the grossly substandard messes that some people contribute. When there are spell checkers and grammar checkers abounding, there are fewer and fewer excuses for posts that are almost unreadable.
The OP was understandable, but torturous. Some are a lot worse, but most are much better. If you want to communicate effectively in a particular forum and wish to garner respect and understanding then the least you can do is to improve the level of your writing.
If your writing is grossly substandard, almost unintelligible and you cannot even spell 'diaper' correctly in a diaper forum, then expect to be ignored or mocked. We deserve better than that.
