sometimes it really sucks being a cg while also having two chronic illnesses because when one flares up the other does too, then i start to hurt and i wish i could spend more time taking care of my little one instead of making sure my flare up doesn't get worse and i make sure im bearing the pain
This is an amazing drawing ny little one did for me of him and me
Moments like these i adore being a caregiver where i get to see my baby's drawings and see how cute he is @theogclownboy
they are notorious for just not having a life and spending all their time bullying age regression accounts.
i just got harassed and blocked and reported this scum. be aware of them.

Cuddling your little and softly singing them lullabies as you doze off into sleep long before they do
Your little chronically under sleeps until you start saying you need to hold them through the night to sleep ("you have mr.teddy to sleep with but you're [title]'s mr.teddy so I need you to come cozy up in bed with me, okay?")
Falling asleep while watching your little's favourite movie/show and having them excitedly explain the entire plot of it after
Taking a nap on the couch and waking up to see your little has covered in you in makeup and stickers
Getting the coziest blankies and stuffies for you and your little to snuggle up under
Your little still into their games even when you're too tired to play ("We must rescue princess teddy without waking the evil dragon!")
Having the third sense for when your little's breaking a rule and waking right in time to stop them (and sometimes pretending you didn't notice cause they deserve a cookie or two)
Picking your little up after they had a long day and falling alseep on the couch cause neither of you had the energy to make it back to the bedroom

I wish I had a caregiver that made sure I felt included in groups. That held me and rubbed my hand when I'm to tired to talk to remind me that they're still thinking of me and appreciating that I'm there.
Who makes a point to turn to me and respond if I try to say something but no one else listens. Who will ask me direct questions if I want to talk but I'm struggling to come up with something to say.
A caregiver that'll loudly say bye to me when I'm leaving so everyone notices and waves bye too
A caregiver that'll stand up for my needs when everyone else is ignoring them.
A caregiver that'll talk about me even when I'm not there, about how much they appreciate me and enjoy being around me
Caregiver healing from having a toxic little with their new little (little talk has plain text in brackets after it)
You get to your little's place after a long day at work. After a bit of playing with them they tell you, "you seem tiwed" (you seem tired)
"sorry, my precious"
"no, itz ok. but r u gud?" (no, it's okay. But are you good?)
"I'm just a little stressed about my work, that's all"
"ooh, jobs are vewy hard. I awways getz eepy ater work" (oh, jobs are very hard. I always get sleepy after work)
"well, good thing you have me here to look after you"
"but whatz abou u???" (but what about you)
"I'm okay"
"nu, bubba needa west wight now" (no, bubba (caregiver) needs to rest right now), your little one takes your hand and leads you over to their bed before weakly pushing you onto it.
"come on munchkin, I'm here to take care of you, not to nap"
"bu-but I needz u ta be wested s-so we can both be appy n pway" (but I need you to be rested so we can both be happy and play)
"okay, if you insist"
"yayyy, okie, nuw stay hewe. I needa get u stuff" (yay, okay, now stay here. I need to get you stuff)
"be safe!!!" you shout out as they rush off to the kitchen.
You wait in bed thinking over what your little tot could be doing. You listen carefully to make sure there are no concerning noises and while there are a couple thunks they're all followed by a quick "I okey" (I'm okay). You start to feel more guilty about leaving your little alone especially when they're this small and running around the house to do whatever they want. You think about how you're last little would have come back crying about how you didn't follow them even though they told you not to.
As your fears start to creep, thinking of your little muffin coming back upset or hurt they appear in the doorway happy as ever
" 'ook wa I made fur u" (look what I made for you?)
They present you with their favourite plate with a messy peanut butter and jelly sandwich in one section, chips in another and a mix of blueberries and raspberries in the last.
"I didznt cut da sammich cause i knuw u dun wanme usin sharp stuff. Annnn! N i added fwuits cause you awways say dere 'mpowtant" "I didn't cut up the sandwich because I know you don't want me using sharp objects. And! I added fruits because you always say they are important)
"aww, you're such a good kid" you say was you rub their hair.
"canz I cuddle wid u?" (can I cuddle with you?)
"of course!"
You lay there, hugging them and snacking on the food they made for you for a while.
"Hey button, I'm really sorry I couldn't be that good of a caregiver today"
"wha??? you were da best today!" (What? You were the best today) they cuddle into your arm, "I don eed you tu awways be stwong for me. ur da best cause I wuv u not cause of da stuff u do" (I don't need you to always be strong for me. You're the best because I love you, not because of the stuff you do for me)
