Yes, but she’s 28, which makes her 17 years older than her 11 year old.
Ah, I see. By ‘other parent’ you meant her. That’s what I get for not reading the post you were responding to. Sorry.
ISTM that you were being deliberately obtuse. I didn’t see anythign in her post saying she thought her husband was a god, or godlike. I think you were REACHING there. As for your religion, who the fuck cares about your religion. I’m an atheist, I don’t care what mumbo-jumbo you superstitious lot get up to on behalf of your flying spaghetti monsters, kneeling, bowing, scraping and whatnot. At least Freakalette’s husband is real. Stop trying to compare him to invisible whatnots.
Religion = bad.
Living a 24-7 D/s lifestyle, with the children as witnesses and possibly unwilling participants, and a husband that apparently forces his wife to have non-consensual sex = good.
Yup, I understand. 'Tis Doperland, where everybody uses their directionals, nobody uses cell phones in public, the average penis length is ten inches, and obese women are considered as beautiful as the most photographed supermodels of Europe.
I consider myself to be open-minded towards alternative lifestyles, but IMHO, this is ridiculous. Like Dio said, people seem to be jumping all over themselves to show how open-mined they are towards this kind of lifestyle. If a woman was describing how they were married to a Promise Keeper-type of man, and that she’s happy with her Leave it to Beaver-inspired lifestyle, there would be no shortage of flames and accusations of attention whoring.
FWIW, I’m a very liberal agnostic-leaning Jew, not some Bible-thumping Fundamentalist.
Haaha! Not to worry dude, been married twice so I know exactly where your coming from:
“Yes Dear, I’ll change that lightbulb right after dinner. No need to tell me yet again*, honest to Og, Sweetie, I’ll do it. And kiss your feet afterwards”
OTOH, if you do happen to get into D/s might I suggest that if tacos are inbounds and you end up being the subbie, at least get to pick the fillings. As in no chilies and the mild sauce.

Growing up, my dad’s response to requests for permission for something?
“Go ask your mother.”
(Of course, Dad was also the one I could weasle money out of, or let me buy something when we went to the store-candy, coloring books, etc).
Just funning, Guin. Don’t want you (or anyone else) to think I’m starting a gender war.
OTOH, I do love me some D/s.
I know you were! I just felt like mentioning it.
But sometimes, things really are fucked up…and no one tries to be accepting. Men molest their daughters, women beat their neglect and starve their kids, all kinds of atrocities happen every day, and no one is accepting.
Then, there are the times when there is nothing to get worked up about. It is then that you may notice a few accepting souls.
I’m gonna go ahead and save my shocked-shocked-I-tells-ya-ness for all the pretty cookie cutter house holds in which the modern, independant mother is desparately howling a silent scream of oppression and depression while professing not to be stifled. Their kids will, of course, learn never to kneel to any male…accept Jesus…and God. You know…the ones that go deep into their psyche to keep them in their place without having to actually give the look.
And as for kids that are born to mothers that make the decision to live life on their own terms, no matter how abnormal…well…I guess those kids are gonna be fucked up.
Glad you did. It’s gotten really touchy around this thread. Guess as seriously as I take my involvement with D/s I don’t feel the need to A-Discuss it with a bunch of strangers B-Give a sh**t about how they feel, and C-place my minute by minute private life, on-line .
Oh and BTW have a soon to be 18 year old kid and nothing to hide from him in that respect. Although he was never exposed to any of my sexual fantasies/actions, I’d like to think we’ve developed a relation where no questions are out of bounds. 'cept of course, his thinking that his Mom and I had sex – too gross for him to contemplate methinks. And I can certainly relate to that if I place my parents into the equation.
:::gag!:::
Anyway, as long as we are telling stories, in my case it was playing both against the middle. IOW, if I asked Dad about/for something and he said NO*, then I’d ask Mom the same thing. Obviously, if she said YES*…I’d confront them and hope for (my own) the best.
*or vice versa of course.
This made reading the preceding 15 pages completely worthwhile. Hilarious and a useful tip for living. A diamond in the coal, sir- a true gem.
I agree with Nzinga, who said that much better (and shorter) than I ever could. I suppose my reason for not getting bent out of shape here is that I believe there is a disconnect between how freekalette views her relationship and how it actually plays out in front of the kids. And no disrespect intended, but over the years I’ve seen all sorts of examples of this… someone thinks they are as wild as a March hare, yet have never had a one night stand, hit of pot or cheated on their taxes. Now in their world, breaking curfew, drinking too much wine or heavy-petting before marriage is bad ass. But comparatively speaking, well, it ain’t really.
So I think a similar principle applies here. freekalette sees herself as a slave, but perhaps no one else other than her husband might also. The children probably think something is slightly eschew, but no more or less than probably what any household goes through when people are growing up. I think as time progresses, even freek herself may view things (inwardly and out) differently.
[QUOTE=faithfoolSo I think a similar principle applies here. freekalette sees herself as a slave, but perhaps no one else other than her husband might also. [/QUOTE]
She thinks she’s a slave, and Joe probably does to. I think she’s a doormat with a controlling asshole for a husband and elaborate fantasy life to justify how she lets him treat her. A Priori Tea and Robin present a much more convincing master/slave relationship than freekalette. JMO.
Nay, she are Joe are just terribly immature. How sad for the children to be raised by children.
Glad we agree.
I never said anything like that. To me, 24/7 is WAAAAAAAAY too much work. Frankly, during much of the day I’m not up to making anyone submit or anything. I got other interests. I believe D/s works better when it’s more a bedroom thing. But that’s just me.
That’s actually one of the things that amazes/perplexes me about the whole thing. Most relationships (I think) are more organic…the dynamic develops over time into what works for that couple. This seems like an awful lot of effort, in all seriousness. I guess I can see the point that it does keep the lines of communication open, but all that communicating just seems exhausting to me.
Whoa there! Let’s not pick on the taco chanters shall we?
Marc
D’oh!
Okay, let’s say the kids grow up without notions of women being inferior, or blah blah blah.
However, if they DO realize what Mom and Dad are doing, I would guess that they’d be pretty squicked.*
*[sub]I’m sure you’re aware of how nosy kids can be. I hope you have the nipple clamps, whips, cuffs, etc locked away somewhere secure.[/sub]
In our culture, and it may not be completely healthy, but its “normal” a kid goes through stages regarding his parents sexuality.
- I’m adopted, I’m sure I am, they just never told me. (around 8)
- Well, then they only had sex to get me and my brother - that’s twice - never any other time. (around 10)
- Maybe they had sex a few more times - but it was only in the missionary position, never any fun and they stopped years ago (most of your teenage years)
- Oh my God, maybe they had sex with other people before they got married (late teenage years).
- I think my parents may have had sex in other positions - maybe even done oral (early twenties).
- I think they still have sex, I found Dad’s viagra perscription. (30s)
- Yeah, my dad went senile and admitted he dresses up like Batman in the bedroom - at least Mom dressed up like Catwoman or it might be disturbing (50s).
So it runs in the family?
(And which direction?)
