Hello and welcome to the community!

Many newcomers, and even tenured community members tend to misunderstand Caregiver/Little (CG/L) dynamics, believing only a certain set of activities and attitudes correspond to certain roles. When in reality, CG/L dynamics, (Daddy/Little one in this case) are simply extensions of regular partner-partner relationships and parent-child relationships.

Each Daddy and each Little are different, exactly how each person is different; there are generalized expectations to each role (such as the general notion that Caregivers should act somewhat parental at times); however, not all Caregivers and Littles are the same, and each relationship is unique to the people holding it (adding onto the example, the general notion that "parental" could have different meanings of involvement, action, inaction, or feelings associated).

What do Daddies do? Daddies can do a wide variety of CG/L activities, ranging from activities oriented towards Littles with younger regression ages (example: feeding a baby bottle) to Littles with older regression ages (example: homeschooling material geared towards elementary students). It very much depends on what the regression age of the Little is, what activities are appropriate and realistic for that age, and the amount of involvement each party wishes to exercise.

A few questions that you can ask yourself to determine what activities you'd like to have with a Caregiver:
  • What would I want my Daddy to do for me?
  • What activities are realistic to do for my Regression age?
  • How deeply do I wish to be in a CG/L dynamic? (as in, how frequently you'd be comfortable being in Littlespace and how deeply into the kindest you'd be willing to be).
It is important to note that Caregivers are people too, with real needs, wants and desires. It is unhealthy to expect a person to do everything you desire of them with no regards to their thoughts, beliefs, feelings. You will not have a successful CG/L relationship if you fail to tend to the needs of you right Caregiver.

When talking to a prospective Caregiver, it is imperative to find the right balance and right amount of compromises in order to make not only yourself happy, but also your Caregiver happy, and have a happy relationship.
