It can be difficult for some people to understand how someone can be an age regressor but also a confident, responsible Caregiver in charge of another age regressor at times.
It has been suggested that people who consider themselves to be a Switch are doing so because they aren't able to have completely fulfillment with the role they really are (either Caregiver or little) and they are taking on the opposite role so that they can "live vicariously" through their partner by extension.
Alternatively, it was also suggested that littles who sometimes switch to take on the Caregiver role are not doing so genuinely but only as a way to "play house" from time to time, pretending to take on the mature, adult role just as a biological child plays pretend with being a mother or father over their baby dolls, siblings, pets, or peers.
Do you feel like either of these ideas are potentially valid for some people who are taking on the Switch label? Do you feel that most Switches lean to one side more than the other or do you feel that most are a balanced half Caregiver and half little? Do you feel that it would be more helpful for personal fulfillment reasons that a Switch identify what percentage they feel they are a Caregiver versus little, and, if so, do you feel that could help them on their personal road to self-discovery? Do you feel that Switches are just mis-identifying themselves, embarrassed to admit to being one role over the other, or under a form of denial by taking on the middle-ground label?
