something that isn't talked about

(but is important to bring up)

Caregivers can be caregivers to bad littles as much as littles can be littles to bad caregivers. I've never seen a post bring up this topic so I will.

Littles who manipulate their cg to take care of them longer, do exist. Littles who make their caregivers feel bad over something they can't control, exist. Littles who will ghost theirs caregivers to make them worry and/or to punish them for something, do exist. And littles that are bad DO EXIST.

I'm tired of this common trope around the community where it brings light that tell littles the red flags in caregivers, (which is important); but so is letting caregivers know what is the red flags in littles as well. There are bad caregivers, and there are bad littles as well. I've seen it brushed under the rug a lot simply because "oh littles don't know any better they don't know blah blah blah-" yeah well that isn't an excuse to treat your caregiver horribly. /Not at anyone (reading this post)

Caregivers aren't robots that are gonna be there 24/7 to take care of you. to protect you, to coddle you, etc. They have feelings and have their own bad days too. Please don't use that against them simply because they don't feel the best that day. Treat caregivers with the love and respect they deserve. They do so much for us already that it's unfair to treat them like all they are is to be your caregiver, and not some friend or anything.

Thanks for coming for my tedtalk. ~Cole, they/it, a fellow caregiver 🐰

Something we learned is that Carnival Cruises offers a Sensory Inclusive Kit, which includes noise canceling headphones, a few toys to stim with, a card with different emotions and “needs” on them, and a lanyard (which I personally didn’t use too much because it offered no real benefit in my opinion).

I used the headphones a lot because it helped muffle the sound of people around me and super loud music, which for me, is overwhelming. I could enjoy an 80s glow and rock party without anything being too loud.

If anyone is looking to cruise with Carnival and is not aware of this kit that you can get, now you know about it :3

Also it’s completely free, so long as you don’t lose anything in it (it’s helpful everything comes in a drawstring bag to help you tote it all around)!

Starting my self-care journey for the year and most of my self care acts are showering and drinking tea, so this is your reminder you don’t need a spa day, party, or major event to practice self care!
