I'm willing to take one for the team.

This is why you're my Hero of Kink.

Any parent/child fetish skeeves me more than I could possibly say. WAY more than body fluids and Nazis.

There's a fairly robust ageplay community in the Ohio kink world

Are there that many women who like to be The Mommy?

Actually, yeah. I think, as with submissive men looking for dominant women, there are more baby boys than mommies, but there are quite a few mommies.

And a lot of times, the people who do ageplay in the child role don't want a specific parent-partner; they just want to get with other people ageplaying children and then they play like kids -- drawing, games, tea parties, etc. It's actually very sweet. One little girl always gives me a Hello Kitty sticker when I see her.

I can't watch/be around Daddy/daughter stuff.

Something tells me they didn't get enough of that before. It does kind of sound like fun.

When I was a kid, I would have cheerfully killed for one of those make-believe kitchens. The real one is nowhere near as fun, because the dishes always need washed.

...and have found no one into toy boats.

It looks like fun. I don't get the mindset, but it's cute.

As far as I can tell, they don't play with toy boats.

You know, I am reading "The Happiness Project" and am on May, where the author is trying to find fun leasure time activities, and she got the advice "think about what you liked to do when you were ten, you will probably like it now". SO I have been thinking about, that when I was ten, I loved writing, drawing and singing, which ( except for singing around the house) I never do now. And I know that I stopped drawing and writing because I was "no good". SO although I do not want to play the baby, regressing to fun childhood activities is sounding pretty fun.

I color in Sara's coloring books all the time. It's relaxing, mindless, and I love the range of colors in my colored pencils. Every once in a while I will also dress one of her baby dolls when she leaves it naked.

I have my own coloring books! And crayons. It's fun, relaxing, and I get to feel creative without judging my work.

I did LOVE making outfits for my doll, which sort of translated into doing costumes... Of course, I also loved dressing up and pretending I was either in Little House on the Prarie or that I was a witch making potions. I would love to do that now, too, but alas, I think people would send me to the mental institution.

My BFF says that one of the reasons she loves having kids is that it gives her an excuse to play pretend without feeling silly.
