A "Little" Adventure?

SOHank wrote:Pixie, you are asking some of the same questions I have thought about when learning about your system. Very interesting questions. I have no answers.

As for being out, it's not a problem of it happening, but of supervision. Better to give them supervised time out if that's what they want than to have them "break out" on their own like Lou initially did. (She's 4) Best to lay down some rules about when and what is allowed and what isn't.

I feel for you. Sunflower and I have 2 and 4 year old bio-kids and they can be a handful. We have to lock to door of the house so they can't go outside without one of us or their sisters. Then there is climbing Mt. Shelving to reach the cookies at the peak...

Well at least I'm not alone in being confused about us. LOL

As for "Mt. Shelving"... yeah... and "Mt. CouchBackside", and "Mt. ChairTower"... and the infamous "Push the chair to the counter, stand on my brother who's on his hands and knees on the chair to get on the counter to get to the cookie jar" - yeah my kids are that level of crafty at 3 years old. I'm in so much trouble.

Making ground rules is soooo gonna be a thing. Part of me is HOPING she just somehow learned it from me or something... cuz the idea of them just getting out and being rebellious and doing it sometimes.... that actually kinda terrifies me.

So maybe a part decided you being pregnant was a chance for them to have a do over and became the baby you gave birth to so they could have a new mum and dad. Or maybe somehow being pregnant gave your system the chance too create new alters who could have a better life then the ones your system already had. However they came to be the fact you remembered being pregnant and giving birth to an alter is very trippy sounding. But I think most people's innerworld sounds trippy and I have no clue what it's like for our insider's.

So this is a trip, too... I'm prego NOW! For real, gonna be my last one (our FIFTH)... and this is creepy scary to think maybe it's cuz we're like having more of us "made"...

As trippy as it sounds... so does saying "I gave birth to a little person" right? I mean ppl like outside give birth to babies that become little ppl... so I guess in THAT context it's not so trippy or scary, is it?! Please tell me that's true, cuz this IS kinda scary.

I think any kind of baby is scary but if this is gonna be your 5th I think it shouldn't be that much more scary than the other 4.

It's only scary now cuz of like the thought that these little angelic monsters could be like able to get "out" like me... I am so not prepared for THAT kinda running around after them.

I am STILL hoping that maybe she picked up on that info about the dogs from me... PLEASE let that be the case! LOL Life is like already complicated enough!

Sorry we don't have anything particularily helpful to add, but we've read this thread and found it fascinating.

We have 4 or 5 littles that we know of, but only one (Melissa) that we know fronts at all. The Violets originally thought she only became active after they did, late last year, and thought she only started fronting on her own at rare times this year.

More recently we've found out that Melissa has in fact been active at least since the 1990s, and possibly has been active all along. Including fronting at times.

It's more than a little worrying to know that things we are only just learning and figuring out now, this little 7yo has been doing by herself for at least 20+ years!

Along those lines, when I discovered a part for the first time, last year, it was Meredith, who is a very cheerful, social, playful 8-12 year old (I think). I was busy grappling with the idea of having parts, and hearing them talk in my head (which I hadn't been aware of before), but I had the (incorrect) idea that parts were all kind of stuck in the time period when they were formed, or at least just observing things from inside.

But then Meredith wanted to watch a current TV show and was talking about how much she likes the boy who stars in it and I realized that those feelings about him and about that show were coming from HER. I hadn't really questioned why "I" loved to watch this 9 year old boy and thought he was so cute (in a tween crush kind of way).

I know it's not really the same, since I don't lose time when other front (as far as I know, and not in a way that disrupts my life), but it's still weird and disconcerting to think about.

I am still really really hoping this is less of them being like fully like us... and not just like somehow picking up on this from me... cuz that would make life a LOT easier- both as their mommy, and as like our system protector. Cuz like I know everyone that is part of it now, mostly- there's a few I'm not entirely sure about and like "whispers", signs, and stuff from like somewhere IDK if there's others of it is just cuz of like how all of us are and how we're like scattered in the world (in the inner world we don't all live in one place, some are in Israel, some in Italy & Boston, most of us in Alaska) and stuff or what...

But it would be almost comforting if my kids just somehow picked up on MY time out and that's what she's talking about... it'd certainly be a comfort for Zor! LOL Toddlers getting "out" would be a lot harder for him and his like wife and friends to have to cope with... cuz most of us can cover and pretend to be him well enough to (almost entirely) hide from ppl and not clue them in we've come out. It was always just like safer for everyone if ppl didn't know Zor wasn't like Zor at the moment.

On that note, we can like sometimes just find ourselves out... like suddenly for some reason it just like happens that one of us gets fronted without warning or trying. I guess this is what they call a "triggered" change? Something seen, heard, felt, etc just like causes it to happen and one of us has to like take over? Usually that's me... but like it's weird cuz sometimes it is like when he's alone (the best time for it to happen), or sometimes he's like watching a movie or hanging with friends having fun... IDK... just weird.... but this is kinda off topic of the post, huh? LOL I am like derailing/hijacking my own thread! ROFL
