"I still suck my thumb and wear nappies.... I'm twelve"
Are people unaware of how kids function?

At age six they're sassy strong relatively independent people, yes they still believe in santa,
but they're not using a pacifier.
One of my pet peeves is infantilisation,
people on wattpad make the kids more infantile and childlike then they actually are.....

Do you honestly think a fourteen year old suck her thumb and is still learning her abcs?
At age three yes, you still need help with everything,
but by the time your seven you're climbing trees, hacking into your mum's phone,
compared to the wattpad version of seven year olds... quite mature..

You'd think, considering that the majority of the wattpad community are around thirteen,
they'd know from personal experience that teenagers don't brag about having a snuggle toy and playing with barbie...

It's also a tiny bit unsettling considering that when the infantilised ocs appear...
someone is usually smutting with them.... which....is just......unsettling......

that's all for now
