Hi WeAreOne420,
Don't take it personally if you don't get any comments right away or for a while. We're all going through stuff and I can't speak for everyone else, but sometimes we read things that we want to comment on but can't because of our own internal stuff. Or we read things and just don't have anything to say other than maybe 'good luck' which feels cheap so we don't post it.
Violet (1) was really hoping we wouldn't have any littles here. She's anxious about all kinds of things as it is, but the thought of having to deal with a child scared her, and the thought of having a kid sometimes out front scared her, the thought of 'acting childish' infront of other people scared her... just basicaly everything about the whole idea scared her.
So naturally we've found two inside so far.
The second one is still mostly staying hidden for now? We feel him now and then when he's upset or crying, but we haven't been able to reach him yet.
The first one, Melissa, I've made friends with and we've spent a lot of time getting to know her better. She's a great kid who's been through some rough stuff. She hasn't really fronted yet but she's gotten really close. (And she's managed to embarass the other Violet already, which makes me laugh abit.)
The other Violet is still nervous about it but even she's started spending time with Melissa, and they're almost friends too. I know one night last week the other Violet basically put Melissa to bed and Melissa gave her a hug, and Violet was almost blown over by how much warmth and affection she felt. She was still really happy the next morning.
OTOH yesterday was a really long and difficult day, we had to do stuff for the outside family all day. Lots of strange grownups around, lots of strange locations, and medical stuff. I had to do most of it because the other Violet gets anxiety, but even Melissa was getting really upset and made it hard for me to do what I needed to do. I had to take a break to calm her down inside. Luckily I had time to do that when we were at lunch.
Having littles is definitely challenging. But from what we've found so far, it can also be very good too.
