I am looking for real answers, I’m sick of people thinking I am crazy or something. I need help. You obviously don’t understand my situation.
You got real answers. It’s not okay to take your ABDL side into a school around real children and I’m sorry, but if you really think it’s okay to mess and change yourself in a classroom or suck on a pacifier on your breaks in an elementary or middle school then that’s not okay. I’ll repeat what I wrote to you on reddit:
Post 1:
I’m a teacher and I wouldn’t dream of bringing anything to do with being ABDL into my classroom. It’s not a sexual fetish for me but I still find the idea wrong. And there’s no way you can change yourself in your classroom- that’s completely inappropriate. If you do need to wear diapers to work you change in a bathroom, not a classroom. What if somebody walked in? Also it’s completely unhygienic and if you’re messing smells linger - do you really expect kids to be working in a classroom after you’ve just lain across a desk and changed your shitty diaper in there?
Honestly, have you even set foot in a school recently or done any teacher training? Do you actually know what being a teacher entails? Classrooms are not that private and both kids and colleagues might have cause to enter during your lunchbreak and situations can occur which require you to get involved, plenty of issues can occur over recess periods that require input from the class teacher. Also if you’re sitting in your classroom sucking on a pacifier and watching kids shows over lunch instead of going to the staff room then you’re never going to be able to integrate into the staff team and feel part of the school which means you will struggle to be a good teacher if you’re always isolated and trying to find opportunities to play baby.
Teaching isn’t just babysitting and filling time entertaining the kids whilst you will the day to get to recess already so you can suck your pacifier, you have to actually be teaching the kids curriculum content and monitoring progress to make sure they are actually learning. You will also regularly be dealing with issues, sometimes serious ones, as the responsible adult. There will be arguments between kids, bad behaviour, bullying, kids having issues at home,kids with special needs or medical issues, kids falling behind or racing ahead who need differentiated work, extra-curricula clubs to run and all kinds of things where you will need to be the responsible adult. For some students you will be the only reliable adult in their lives so the least you can do is be an adult for the entirety of the time you’re at work. Plus teaching isn’t just about liking kids and the day doesn’t start when the kids arrive and finish when they go home. There are often meetings before and after school around the curriculum, meetings with parents and for some students with professionals such as social workers, health professionals etc, there’s planning and assessments and grading to be done. Most days I take work home with me - if you can’t even give up being little for the hours you’re actually at work you’re never going to cut it as a teacher and certainly will never be a good teacher.
If you want to feel little put something discreet like a plushie on your desk or a similar small gesture that isn’t going to stand out as weird to colleagues and, more importantly, the students, but honestly bringing in proper baby toys and pacifiers is not okay. If you can’t separate your little side from your adult side you should not be working as a teacher - as a previous OP said when you’re the teacher you are the adult and the kids are the little ones. You are in a position of responsibility and need to be in adult mode for the entire time you are at work and you need to have the respect of the students. How easy do you think that will be if they catch you watching Barney or sucking a pacifier? What you do to relinquish your adult responsibilities at home is up to you and being ABDL is fine if that’s what you do to relax at home, but the workplace is not the time to be engaging in hobbies or the place to be relinquishing those responsibilities. When you’re in paid employment you have to put aside your hobbies and fantasies and desires and focus on what the job entails. If you’re not ready to be an adult for the entire school day you are absolutely not ready to be a teacher.
Post 2: If being ABDL has taken over you life to the point you can’t even imagine going a full day as an adult then I agree, you definitely do need to seek help. It is absolutely not normal to be unable to put any desire aside at work - if you were talking about trying to sneak alcohol into work to drink at break time people would be saying you were an alcoholic who needs to get help. It’s not healthy to let anything take over your life to the point where it interferes in your normal adult life. If you literally cannot imagine using a toilet, even at work, that is a problem. You have let a fantasy and what should just be a hobby/ way to relax in private take control and now it’s impacting on your ability to have a normal career.
Surely you can see how unhealthy it is that you have let yourself become so obsessed with being ABDL that you were seriously thinking of shitting a diaper in a classroom and changing it right there whilst the kids were in recess, whilst sucking on a pacifier? Nobody who thinks that is okay is in the right frame of mind to be working with children and in a position of responsibility. That is not a normal train of thought and suggests that you have let being ABDL become a far bigger part of your life than is healthy - again, if you are indulging in this and staying at home nearly all day every day being a baby that is not a healthy or normal amount to be indulging in this. If you can’t even go the length of a working day without it then it’s become an unhealthy obsession or even addiction and you need to find ways to rein the habit in so that it’s something you are in control of and not something that is controlling you.
Post 3:
Life is about balance and you clearly have the ABDL balance completely wrong. Being ABDL should reduce your anxiety and stress, not cause it. If it’s causing you to be depressed and anxious and stopping you from doing normal things then you need to change something. Start putting limits on your diapers and other little things now. Start with small steps, use the toilet at home at least once a day so that you’re ready to use the toilets when at work. Or, if that’s really impossible for you, accept that being a teacher is not the job for you because indulging in 24/7 diapers through choice and needing to take pacifiers and toys to work is not compatible to a career with kids, especially a professional career such as teaching.
And get professional help for your depression, anxiety and other mental health problems so that you’re not using being ABDL as a crutch to get you through the day. It might have felt like it was helping when you first started using it but now it’s clearly taken over your life to the point where it’s causing as many stresses and worries as it’s solving. You need to find a healthier coping mechanism to get you through the day.
TLDR: The short of it is, if you’re not able to put aside your desire to be little for the duration of the time you’re at work, you’re not able to be a teacher. No ifs, no buts. You‘re just not able to mix this lifestyle with real children, no matter how innocent you may or may not think your personal circumstances are. If you want to be a teacher than you need to start separating your little side from your professional, adult teacher life and accept that the two should not and must not mix. It’s just not okay - your private life is just that, private, and it has no place in a public school, ever. Im sorry but you must either accept that or accept that teaching is not the career for you.
If you want help in how to find that balance, how to make little time more meaningful when you have to restrict it to limited hours, how to build up confidence about wearing underwear and using toilets again for work etc then this is a helpful and supportive community and you will get lots of good advice, but nobody is going to help you to bring your little side into a school you are teaching at because a school is just not a setting in which ABDL belongs.
