>>Wow, those are some incredible recent developments. >What >more do you feel you've learned about the boys >since >putting them in diapers? > >A mixture of things, both emotional and physical. >Emotionally, the boys have had to be a lot more open >to us, and we've learned a lot more about Peter and >Chase's feelings and emotions, and how it feels to >grow up in the 21st century. Social media anxiety is a >big one - the kids see their schoolmates having an >amazing time on Instagram and get down. We have to >remind them that they only post their positive >experiences, they don't share any arguments they might >have with their family, or the punishments/spankings >they might receive for misbehaving, for example. >Physically, I've learned a lot about the boys’ >bodies. They can't hide behind baggy clothes anymore. >Sometimes it feels like Chase and Peter are horny >24/7, as if all teenage boys can think about it sex! >And I never thought I'd be spending so much time with >my teenage sons’ penises in my hand, or sticking >fingers up their buttholes! > >>It's great that Chase has become more open with you. >Do you >feel Peter has been less responsive to the >diapers because >he is older or might he still be >resentful for other >reasons? > >Yes, we think it's his age. He still thinks he's too >old to be punished like this, and finds it very >humiliating. Chase on the other hand understands why >we have to do this, and is trying to work with us. >Peter has also always been more stubborn than Chase. > >>Maybe he would benefit from more one on one time. I >gotta >imagine he knows opening up like his brother >has will make >you more likely to see the progress you >feel is needed >before considering letting the diapers >come off. > >Yes, I agree. But we have made it clear what we expect >from him before the diapers come off. At the end of >the day, it's up to him to open up to us, we can't >force him. > >>You said you were going to decide on whether to >continue >their punishment every three months. Even if >you've already >decided they will continue to wear >diapers, maybe have a >group meeting (with the option >for either to talk to you >privately) about the status >of their diaper discipline, how >satisfied with it you >are and what else you might be >looking for the kids >to do in terms of behavior >improvement. > >We plan on doing this, yes. But thank you for >reassuring us that this is a good plan. It is likely >that both boys will remain in diapers for the >time-being. Peter certainly, but I don't think even >Chase is ready yet to be allowed to wear normal >clothes again - we are worried the progress we've seen >so far might be lost. > >>It's great that the kids are taking up more creative >>activities. Do they ever help each other with their >>interests, like does Peter give feedback on guitar or >Chase >review the drawings. > >Yes, sometimes, but the boys can be very shy, even to >each other. Though I do sometimes hear the boys >singing together from upstairs, with Chase playing >guitar, which melts my heart. > >>An original song about the experience with diapers >does >soung interesting and I'd love to learn more >about the self >portraits. > >We haven't heard his song yet, but Chase promised us >he would show us eventually. Peter's self portraits >are really doing great. He's very shy about them and >doesn't want anyone to see them (even his brother), >but we're proud of him for finding a healthy way to >express himself. > >>Do you think Peter's friends want him to come over >>sometime? I assume they know he's in diapers and know >the >rule about wearing nothing over them when at >home. Are you >close with the parents of his friends >as well, do you have >a plan if either goes to a >friends house and needs a change >while there? > >The boys’ rules are the same at friends’ houses as >they are at home. We expect them to strip naked >(except for their diaper) and remain that way >regardless of who is around. We do not want any >loopholes to our diaper discipline, aside from school >where they have to wear clothes! Preferably their >clothes would come off before they even get into their >friend's car after school. But yes, Peter's friends >know of his diaper rules. He has been invited over, >but has not gone yet. We are trying to encourage him. >It would be nice for him to get out of the house. The >mother of one of his friends has even offered to >change him at her house if needed (assuming he brings >a spare diaper), which is very kind of her. > >>That's simply heartwarming hearing about Chase's >friends. >The fact they gave him a hug instead of >laughing shows they >are good kids. It doesn't sound >surprising that they had a >lot of questions about >diapers for you. Were they similar >to what you've >gone over here, were you able to answer them >all? > >Yes, we were able to answer them all, although Chase >was quite embarassed for a few of them. They asked how >often Chase has to be changed, where he is changed, >and whether he is really not allowed to use the >toilet/really has to pee and poop in his diaper (they >didn't believe him at school). I told them about using >laxatives, and about how Chase is starting to lose >control of when he pees and poops, which he found >embarassing. This was while I was changing Chase on >the kitchen table, so I showed the boys how to change >his diaper. > >>Im glad Chase's friends were able to cheer him up >after his >diaper change, what a silly oddball thing >to do. Hopefully >this is a turning point for both >boys to see they can still >have fun and enjoy >themselves while in diapers. It sounds >like Chase is >becoming less self conscious of his body >overall, >which I believe you had expressed as a goal >before. >>Was Peter out when this playdate happened, does he >>know it turned out really well for his brother? > >Peter was out, yes. We have signed him up for some >classes at our local community centre, and he was >attending one of those. But he knows Chase's playdate >went well, and we hope he has a similar experience >soon. > >>I'm glad to hear you have another playdate already >>scheduled, looking forward to hearing about it. > >The second playdate went well. We had the same boys >over, and just like last time they spent most of the >day in just their underwear to make Chase feel more >comfortable. He really has great friends. I let them >help change Chase's diaper, which they enjoyed. Chase >was a lot more relaxed this time. > >>Oh and one more thing. I'm sure by now you have >switched to >cloth diapers like you mentioned. But if >you still have a >reason to keep some disposables on >hand, you could look up >a brand called BetterDry. >Another poster here mentioned >those in the thread >about changing tables so they would >likely fit your >boys too. > >Thanks for the suggestion! We'll look into them.
