I raised 4 children and my marriage went to hell in a hand basket when we decided to protect the kids from the life. I grew angrier and I guess betrayed. She could come to me for support when life hurt us but I couldn't have her sit at my feet or any of the other D/s stuff that made life worth living for me.

If I had it to do over yes the D/s would have stayed out in the open. No they didn't need to see sex or bondage or SM but what is wrong with them seeing the respect that should be inherent in the life between its partners, the honor and the pride in one another.

It wasn't that long ago the man considered himself master of his home and family that was the normal. Problem with that style of relationship is too many men felt it was fine to be the bully, abusing wife and kids (still happens today) for a whim or drug alcohol related problems. Since the wife was there as a voluntary slave but because it was her lot in life I object to that type of home relationship.

I have had subs with kids that weren't mine, they would only behave for their moms when mom had hit a certain pitch in her screaming at them. They quickly sensed that I was different and that they did what was ask without back talk or delay. I never had to raise a hand or yell at them, my own kids are very much like that too.

That is my thoughts on that I hope it helps if not email or im me.
