A common mistake I see among those who criticize ABDLs is they seem to think that ABDLs spend all of their free time, or even all of their time, in baby mode. To someone that has any experience with ABDLs this is a ridiculous concept. I think that they are basing this assumption on bifurcation or a false dilemma where a person can act like a baby, or they can act like an adult, but they can't do both and they can't switch between the two at will. It reminds me of another concept I see expressed from time to time that ABDLs supposed think that we really are babies. Adult babies understand that they are adults roleplaying as children. We are not deluded to thinking that we are actual physical children. It is just something we enjoy doing, just one thing out of many that we might enjoy in life. Most of us are not willing to sacrifice everything else we enjoy in life to do this one thing even if it is our favorite thing in the world to do.
Back to my first point. Why do people assume that if someone is an adult baby that they must be in baby mode 24/7/365? The logistics alone of doing this is absurd. Let's say that there are 500k ABs in the United States. I have no data to back that number up but I think that it is a good guess. Of those how many could even afford to not have a job? 1%? So that leaves you with 5000 people who could afford to go without working at a job. Most of those are not entirely without other responsibilities. You might be financially independent but you still have to manage your investments, pay your bills, do the grocery shopping, clean your home. etc. etc. (Some ABs want to be a french maid who is "forced" to wear diapers and clean the house daily but they are a small minority, and most of those making these absurd assumptions don't even know that baby-maids exist.)
OK, so how many adult babies out there are so rich that they can pay people to take care of absolutely all of their needs such that they literally don't have a care in the world, as well as pay someone to play mommy or daddy for them? (There are many people out there that Good, Giving, and Game for playing the caretaker role to an adult baby or adult little, but doing that non-stop 24/7, even someone that was into playing the caretaker role would get tired of it after a while.) I would guess that there are 25 people in the USA who are both adult babies and could financially afford to live the fantasy of acting and being treated like a baby 24/7. Now of those 25 people how likely is it that, like someone playing their caretaker, they themselves would get bored of roleplaying after a while? Most likely all of them would get bored.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You can't be an adult baby without first being an adult. Outside of their ABDL interests ABDLs are pretty normal. Even of those who take pride in being weirdos they are still complicated human beings with multiple interests in life.
I invest my money with the goal of being financially independent but this should be the goal of everyone, not just adult babies. I'm looking forward to an early retirement but when that happens I want more from life than to just sit around in diapers watching cartoons and playing with my mommy. I want to travel and see not only the country but the world. I love going out dancing and having fun with other adults in an adult setting. I would like to learn to play a musical instrument, and learn to paint, and to write poetry, and I don't care if I suck at all of them the fun is in the doing. I want to grasp at life with both hands and experience all it has to offer. Life is too short and too precious to spend it doing just one thing even if it is my favorite thing in the world.
I enjoy playing video games too. Granted some people spend way too much of their time playing video games, but they are a minority. Most people who play video games do not let it consume all of their free time let alone quit their jobs so they can play video games more. It would be a false dilemma to say you can either do nothing but play video games all the time or not play them at all. Adult Babies are the same way. It is just one out of many things we do with our lives.
If you actually think you are a baby, or you have absolutely no interests in life outside of adult baby roleplaying then I would say something is wrong. If that is the case you probably should seek psychological help. Maybe if you actually had the chance to be in baby mode for a couple of months you would get bored and realize that there is more to life than roleplaying. The fact remains that most adult babies don't even desire this and it is absurd for people to suggest it.
