You don't have to lose time in order to have DID - you can be co-conscious with your alters, which means that you're "with them" fronting, or experiencing the outside world with them (which I guess is what you're describing about a male voice telling you that a child part wanted to play etc).
I hope you can figure things out. My advice for you would be to start looking further into DID, getting to know your alters and learn from others who are multiple. That's how I learned what I know today about myself and my alters.

Thanks for your post - I am conscious of feeling very much as a child sometimes, or even speaking like a child might but I'm not sure that would be considered switching - I used not to be so self-aware of it, but I'm much more conscious having been thinking a lot about having had abuse and neglect during childhood. Thanks for your advice.
