Hi, ThisGirl.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts & praise. I think that you are right about the "wanna-be-dom" issue - submission doesn't mean (at least to me) that one cannot be an individual with thoughts and opinions of one's own. I liken what you describe from your ex as slavery, not submission. It's a sad fact that I have seen many who don't see that vital point - there is a distinct difference between the willing exchange of power and someone simply taking it without consideration to the person they are taking it from - at least in my view of D/s & feminism. Choice, as a feminist, is of the utmost importance to me.

I also think that we rarely recognize the fact that being "just" a stay-at-home mom is, at least IMO, THE most important job for the future of our country & society. I applaud you for taking on such a profoundly significant job! Don't ever be ashamed of that!

Um - i feel weird saying "you're welcome," lol, so I'll just say thank you for your kind words. We are doing pretty darn well, thanks

And I do appoligize for taking so long to reply. This post got lost pretty fast - I promise that I'll keep an eye out from now on

Be Well
