[Punishment]

That is bad.  Even though there are or were parents like yours out there many years ago, I still think your situation, while having happened to other kids as well, was not normal.  It's just too bad there were not the protective services back then that there are now.  I mean school teachers and people trained to recognize and question it when a kid shows up bruised.  After so many incidents over many years and lawsuits against people and institutions for not recognizing the signs of child abuse, I think (and hope) people these days speak up more and question it when a child says something or appears to be physically injured. 

I agree today my father would be in jail

True, no one intervened and even today CPS often goes out and doesn't do anything about the situation until the parents beat the kid so bad that he or she dies.  Then everyone says, "How did this tragedy happen?"  Underfunding, threatening parents, people at CPS afraid of getting sued by lawyers and people not belieiveing the children and taking the parents at their word.

Did it happen a lot 50 years ago?  Sure.  Was it normal?  I don't believe so.  I wet the bed until I was almost 6 and was diapered every night in cloth diapers and plastic pants.  I was never punished for it, spanked, beaten or told I was lazy.  I was caught a few times in day plastic pants hiding from my mom when I was about 4 or 5 and spanked for that because I was developing a fetish at that age for diapers and plastic pants, and once on the bus home from kindergarden I wet my pants and was threatened with being diapered for school the next day, but that was it.  Never beaten or humiliated.  I could understand being spanked at age 5 when my mom found me hiding wearing just a pair of plastic pants.  I was purpously doing something I shouldn't have and spanking (not beating) a kid for misbehaving was something most parents did do.  When I wet my pants on the bus home I think it was more of my mom thinking it reflected on her parenting that I was 5 years old and wet my pants.  My parents never embarrassed me, humiliated me or treated me any different because I had to wear diapers to bed.  They always encouraged me to do the best I could and brought me up very well.  I know lots of parents mentally abused their kids over bedwetting, all kinds of things the kids did and not living up to their parents expectations, but I don't think it was normal in the sense that everyone did it and it was acceptable.  Maybe in some areas of the country where there are more conservative thoughts on the subject, religious beliefs, blue collar families where the dad goes to the bar, watches the fights and expects his son to be "A MAN" and involved in those same things.  He wants his kid to basically be a bully.  If his boy wets the bed he is a disappointment to his father and shamed for it.  Likewise, maybe a family is from the upper class and the mother is so into her social standing that it's a bother having to deal with a child who wets the bed or pants and it is socially unacceptable, therefore she shames her kid and belittles him telling him he's worthless and all.  Who really knows?  I just think because some ignorant parents back then (and even now) treated their kids that way doesn't mean it was normal.  I'd bet the majority of parents didn't beat or mentally abuse their kids for their urinary issues.  It's one thing to strip a kids clothing off, diaper them and make them stand out in the front yard while all his friends and classmates are looking and laughing at him, and something quite different to help their kid by suggesting they wear some protection like diapers if they have a bedwetting problem or discreet pull ups under their clothing if they have day accidents.  You are in fact helping the kid avoid embarrassment and humiliation if he should have a wetting accident while playing with his friends.  Better to wear a discreet and undetectable disposable pull up under your jeans than to wet your pants in front of your friends. 

You're one of the lucky ones I was beaten daily for being incontinent In my father's eyes  wetting the bed didn't necessary mean that the bed had to be wet  all it meant is I was and I was beaten force  it and  same thing for daytime accidents I was checked and if was wet or dirty I was beaten and humiliated and no gave a damm

Understand

 

[Punishment]

It was normal beat you for missing behavior and 68 years ago incontinence was considered a behavioral problem not a medical condition and yes for many years I didn't talk to m

My father  but I gave in  and for a year before he passed got along I felt it was better to forgive and forget then to live with the hate  that was a wrong and 2 wrongs don't equal a right 

 

[Punishment]

That's not punishment it's plain common sense you have a problem you use protection punishment is like I had growing up I was beaten for accidents I couldn't he6

Hi there and greetings from Finland!

I have been interested in diapers through my whole life, sometimes more, sometimes less. I'm mostly pure diaper lover having overall love for diapers as well as sexual kink through them (I would love to be controllably humiliated after I have wet them!)

Happy to join this community!

ps.I'm not native English speaker and even writing in Finnish I tend to make tons of typing errors. You have been warned! 

Hello and welcome to the neighborhood come on in and relax and enjoy don't worry about your typos and writing skills that not what we here for just diaper up and relax and enjoy your self

I'm new to the site but I've been interested in diapers pretty much my whole life. I consider it my 'original kink' but it is the most unexplored kink out of the many I have. I'm lucky to have a wonderful wife that's almost as kinky as I am. She's more AB while I'm just DL. I'm interested in embracing this part of myself and learning to wear more often and not feel so uncomfortable with myself wearing. I also want to learn more about AB so I can better support my wife in her exploration of that part of her.

We're not talking about on the street. The thread clearly says "backyard" twice on here your comments come across as a personal attack directed at me. 

The article is about satellites taking live images constantly.

My 'backyard' is totally enclosed and private from anyone else. No one can see in from thier house as no one lives nearby. Maybe before getting on your high horse you should ascertain all the facts before spouting off. As for 'disposable underwear' i was making a direct link to my use of nappies. You wear reusable good for you. I dont so yeah they are disposable underwear TOO ME. How sad that you had to jump on that comment. 

Get a grip. 

Unless you have a privacy fence it's the same thing as wearing on the street it's just not right what a grown adult does behind closed doors belongs to remain there behind closed doors not where the whole neighborhood can see why not just take out a newspaper add keep your private business private

Hey!

I never know how to begin. So, I'm Cath' (short for Catherine, btw it's french so it's pronounced like the word "cat") and I'm a 20 years old girl. I've been willing to be a part of this community for a while, ever since it struke me that repressing my little side wasn't going anywhere. That was about two years ago.

I've been a little/ AB for as long as I can remember, and it's always been a problem for me. I mean, besides having to hide it, all I ever wanted was to be "normal" because of other issues I had. So I spent half my life wanting to let go and the other half hating myself for that. When I turned 18, for the first time I didn't live under my parents' roof anymore. Being kind of overly cautious (aka paranoïd), I would have never dared to have diapers in a place anyone could find them. But in a internship, it was different, so for the first time I gave a shot at being okay with the whole AB thing and bought adult diapers. From that point, although it was tough accepting it, I understood that it wasn't inherently hatable, meaning that I just wrongly convinced myself over the years that I had to hate myself for being little. A big part of this process was being able to tell someone. My best friend was very kind and I knew for a fact that he wouldn't care at all, worst case scenario, it would become a joke between us. As planned it went very well and it helped me a lot to work toward acceptance of myself.

About a year ago, I moved in in my own place, so, not only there wasn't anyone to be nosy, I also had my own mailbox, meaning being able to order stuff online. I spend the least money I could and am to this day very satisfied with what I got. I'm especially glad that adult pacifiers exists.

Anyway, when I tried for the first time to join an ABDL community, I still had a lot of trouble with being little myself, so that wasn't helping. But the real issue is that I never really felt like I would get along with the people. There is not a lot you can talk about with a subject that specific and you need more than just this thing in common to become friends.

So, I'm giving this another try hoping that I was wrong to believe that. I'm looking forward to find potential friends.

It seems we have a growing number of exhibitionists around here. I would love to be there when you show up in court and maybe required to get a shrink or register as a sex offender if a child is involved, at the office when you are tolld to "collect your things" and you know that your liklihood of getting another job anytime soon is just this side of nil, or when you become "that guy [standing head 'man arrested wearing only a diaper'[". does it bother you that you are imposing your taste on others as well as confirming the worst stereotypes of the ABDL community?

I will pass on all those lovely experiences; thank you

Well said my point exactly

Its just disposable underwear. No different imo to a bikini or Speedos. 

Like I said to each their own I don't and would not if it's okay to wear in the back yard then it would be alright to walk around town in nothing but a diaper or underwear for those who don't wear diapers and then why stop there lets all become nudists and wear nothing

So, I guess I should introduce myself. I am Amanda or Mandy, either is fine. I'm a 31 year old woman in real life who sees myself as a three year old girl.
I don't really know what to say here because I am very new to this lifestyle, though I knew for awhile that I felt like I was a baby, I wasn't sure until I bought a few baby items, diapers, pacifiers, rattles, etc, and began using them (on my own, I have not shared this with anyone) that I knew I really was an adult baby.

 

 

Ummmmm, I really don't know what else to say here, but hi!

as i said a lot of my mothers attitude stemmed from bad information about bedwetting, I only hope these days there are less old wives tales floating around

I agree there has been a lot of advances in  the field of incontinence in my father's defense we were told that I was lazy and every doctor had a different option with only added to the problem I've learned after 68 years of dealing with it is to relax and make the best of it 

[Punishment]

You well maybe right but two wrongs don't equal a right and that's why I spent a couple hours a day at the nursing home until my father died and if I had it to do over I would do it again

I fully understand in my case it was my father who humiliated me in front  who ever was around at the time being the eldest of 10 there was Always someone's around
