As a father, I try to keep my ABDL interests completely away from my children. There are no diapers / ABDL accessories in the house, the subject is not brought up and obviously they don't have access to my digital stuff. I feel it was hard enough for me to grow up with this interest. From a scientific point of view, it's all genetic though.
Have you ever had suspicions that (one of) your children might develop similar ABDL interests? I found "poopy diaper" in the YouTube video search history of my nine year old and was shocked. Didn't talk about it, though. YouTube lead him to this? Did he have an inherited interest? Ever discussed ABDL with your kids?
As a DL with children, I wore diapers around the house as the kids grew up. They thought it was normal. I didn't do anything sexual, messy, or otherwise. I wore cloth diapers just because I liked wearing diapers since age ten.
Eventually, my kids learned in school that it was not normal for adults to wear diapers. This caused issues for them as they adjusted to the teasing of others about a father who wore diapers. In some cases, however, it attracted friends of theirs to want to know me better, but I kept my distance. I did, and still do, everything I can to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
My family and neighbors all know I wear diapers. I am not concerned that my clothes bulge when I walk outside.
My kids grew up knowing that I wore diapers, but I do not know whether they had a similar interest. It was not my business to inquire into their sexual behavior.
I do not think it is a good idea to imagine what the kids think or otherwise snoop on them. Just teach them how to make good decisions and always act upon what they think is right, regardless of what others think. Each individual must learn that life is a series of choices and that happiness and good health come from making the right choices. This process begins at birth.
Diapers mean a lot to me, but I realize they are irrelevant to most people. When people want to ask me questions about my wearing diapers, I will engage with them, but I do not attempt to influence people one way or the other on the issue, including my kids.
