Were you babied/spoiled as a kid?

[Mars.inDiapers]

Certainly not babied past baby age, and I think I can say with confidence my parents didn't spoil me.

Objectively, my grandma doted on me, and seemed to have favoured me slightly over my sister, which occasionally created some tension between me and her.

no i wasnt but id like to be East texas here

[SoggyTyke]

Not babied, but overprotected, and too scared to push back.  Metallica put it pretty well.

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Never I ask of you, but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave

Yes basically from the age of 9 

Wow!? That's awesome buddy!?☺️????♥️??

[Three Rivers]

As the oldest child of 3 that would be hard no, but my sister the youngest was spoiled rotten.

[Ts2020]

I would say yes, until about age five, but not as much as my grandparents often assumed…

[babykuri]

I was not spoiled at all! In a lot of ways my childhood was pretty bad/horrific. But I think its partially the reason I'm into ABDL now, as a way to heal that inner child part of myself.

I'm not sure that my treatment should be called babying. I was a very sickly kid. I had rheumatic fever from roughly the ages 6 to 8. For medical reasons, I had to spend a lot of time in bed and wasn't allowed to engage in much active play. I then had major problems after surgery when I was 14 that left me with life-long bladder-control problems. But on top of all that, I was overprotected and not allowed to do many things that I could have done safely.

Considering I still wet the bed until I was almost 12, I guess you can say I was babied since I wore diapers to bed!

I was the youngest of 3 so I was the baby of the family but I think my mom wanted me to grow up a bit quick.

Spoiled, yes I’m sure I was. I do think I missed out on some cuddly love from my mom because of dealing with my other siblings 

I think it’s in part why I’m an ABDL. I was prob potty trained by about 14 months or so. Never wet the bed much passed 6 or 7 

I do think I prob grew up past my babyhood too fast

I was a failed attempt to save a marriage... so no lol

I am the same idea but had a completely different result. I was the save the marriage baby as well. When my parents split, they both treated me as the baby for the most part as I was the only boy and the youngest.

[parkintochter]

I don't think I was babied much. I didn't even had a pacifier after I was around a year old (didn't like it). But I was cuddled and kissed a lot and at night I listened to children's cassets (audio books for children? idk the write translation to Hörspiel) until me early teens I guess 

 

[onetoomanywetmornings]

I’d really have to say yes, I was pretty babied/spoiled. I was a “surprise” baby to my parents, and I came a good while after my siblings. I had a very sweet stay-at-home mom who also was a bit of a micromanager and took charge of everything. I think she was happy to have a new baby, and didn’t really mind how dependent I was on her for waaayyy too long.

I was kind of an emotionally needy kid. Lot of anxiety, big crybaby. I pretty frequently slept with my mom even into middle school because I’d get scared at night. I couldn’t be left alone in the house either or I’d freak out. And then I was just kind slow in growing up in so many ways

I was always really smart for my age in school, but anything at all practical or needed for independence, I just could not handle.

Wasn’t potty-trained until really late, took forever to learn how to tie my shoes, wet the bed until my teens.

I never had any privacy or needed any. My mom kind of just handled everything. I really started to feel embarrassed by it as I became an older kid but I also didn’t really want anything to change. When I was in middle school grade, my bedroom still pretty much looked like a nursery, not to mention I still had a drawer of diapers and plastic sheets.

I am an only hild, mostly raised by my mother, as my biological father became a hemiplegic when I was 6 due to a stroke related to Agent Orange. I am also disabled, from birth (with spina bifida). My mother was pretty overwhelmed, caregiving for me *and* my biofather, and just trying to be generous and protective of her friends. 

People in general tend to be protective of the disabled, which sometimes includes babying or talking down to us. So, even at 48, I get babied and spoiled. Not what it's cracked up to be.

Honestly, I don't remember, but in elementary grades, I pretty much got whatever toy I wanted.   I don't remember for asking too much, but the one I really wanted was the Matchbox airport  with jets (remember those plastic boxes with a carry handle?), which was kind of pricey.  

Additionally: I was denied for a while (days, weeks?) on getting the Matchbox airport, but it didn't take long...my love for aviation is still there, I just don't have a job, but just a hobby with flight simulators.

I wasnt babied or spoiled growing up at all. I grew up in a big family and because of that it was difficult to get attention.

Rubbersheetmike,

How big was your family? My father was one of 14 -- 8 girls and 6 boys. As for me I have only 1 sibling and that is a sister. I am, of course, a male.

14 is a big family. I grew up in a family of 7 kids, with 3 boys and 4 girls. Both of my parents worked - well my mom usually part-time - and 4 of us kids were overage bedwetters. And my father had a small construction business and worked about 60 hours a week to pay the bills. So our dad wasn't around a lot and our mom had her hands full. And we were relatively close in age with only 9 years separating the oldest from the youngest. I think that in really big families years ago the older kids would often look after the younger ones but that probably isn't as common where the kids are close in age.

Funny how I had posted in this before about 2 years ago, but only posted a one liner and really didn't think about it, which is what I am doing when I am going through post quickly without thinking about what I have been reading.  

Without question I was babied all the way until I finally stop peeing in the bed/diaper when I was around 12 years of age.  I am the second oldest of 4 with one older brother who is two years older than me, a younger brother who is 2.5 years younger than me, and a younger sister who is 5 years younger than me.

I continued to need diapers during the daytime until I was 8 and at night time until I was 12.  My younger brother stopped needing diapers in the daytime when he was around 2/3 and at night time by the age of 4. My sister stopped wearing diapers in the day time when she was also around 2 years old and at night at around 3/4 years of age. Yes my sister was out of diapers in the daytime over a year before me, and at night time 3/4 years before me.

I am also the shortest person in my family with me graduating from high school at around 5'2" tall with a growth spurt that got me up to about 5'5" tall at around 19 which is another reason why my mom has already treated me like the baby of the family. I have shrunk down over the later two years to a little under 5'4.5" tall. By the time I was around 12 years old my younger brother was already taller than me at 9.5 years of age. By the time I was 16 my 11 year old sister was taller than me. My dad was a little over 6' tall, my mom is about 5'9" tall, both my brothers are over 6' tall, and my sister is about 5'10" tall. Not hard to figure out I was the baby of the family.

All the family rules treated me like the baby of the family. Because of my need for diapers, rules for me were far more restrictive.  Both my younger sister and brother could both stay overnight at friends homes, I wasn't allowed to stay at a friends over night as long as I still wet the bed. My mom didn't want another parent to be responsible for my diaper change. I sent to bed at the same time as my younger sister while my younger brother was allowed to stay up two hours later. Until I was 12 my bed time was 7 PM while my younger brother could stay up until 9 PM.

 Since I was the only one my mom needed to change into diapers, she treated me like a baby all the way until I have fully stopped wetting in the bed. Until the age of 8 when I stopped wetting my diapers in the daytime, she would allow my much younger sister to do the same things or more than me. She would put me into diapers right before or just after dinner time and would not change me until after breakfast in the morning. It didn't matter than when friends of my brothers or my sister were staying overnight and could tell I was wearing diapers.

I was babied big Big BIG time. Late potty trainer (4) and long-term bedwetter (8). Same with my little sister. Mom said as long as we wore diapers even just at night we were still babies. Mom always diapered us even when we were big enough to do it ourselves wipes cream powder everything. She also breastfed us both until we were 8 and we all 3 cobathed til little sister and I were 4 and 8 (we got too big for us all 3 to fit in the tub) after that sis and always shared baths till 7 and 11.  That only stopped because puberty And I literally never took a bath alone until then. Also mom let us suck on pacifierAnd/or our thumbs as long as we wanted to and I never stopped sucking my thumb.  Mom would  Also let us wear  Our nighttime diapers in the daytime  If we wanted to.  I loved little kid shows like Barney and Sesame Street   Until high school. I'm sure there were other  Ways we were babied I'll list Them when they come to me. How bout you all?  How many of us were treated like babies even when we got big?

Funny how I totally forgot about taking baths with my little sister until around 11 years of age when my sister was 6 years of age. It was easier to get us both ready for bed together, so she would have us take a bath together since we had the same bed time. I still remember when we lived in England at the time, my dad was in the Air Force, and my mom left me with some friends while they went on a trip to mainland Europe. I was 11 and she sent me on my own to her friends who had two younger kids that were both out of diapers and while visiting not only did I have to wear diapers at night, the mom also gave me my bath while her own children were allowed to take baths on their own.
