The 11 year old will figure it out soon. It might be a little hard
for a child that young to understand, though. We chose to keep it from our children because it's hard for kids to see the difference between this lifestyle and abuse. They aren't that sophisticated. But then we live in a rural area with strict bible belt attitudes. You live in an area where you can find other people with similar lifestyles. That may make a difference. Good luck to you.

Master and i have an 11 year old and a 5 year old, at first i was a bit apprehensive about calling him Master in front of them but we started going to a couple of local functions that included children and so we kinda sat back and watched the kids to see their reactions.

It didn't seem to faze them any that people were calling each other Master or Sir or Madam how ever the role fit. So i sat down with my 11 year old and asked her what she thought of our friends. She asked why we were calling people by the above references and i explained that it is a sign of respect that we are giving to one another.

i have left the field open for discussion and try to as honest "age sensitive" as possible with them. My Master makes leather paddles, and whips and various other toys and our kids know what they are just not necessarily what they are used for!

Sorry so lengthy i tend to get carried away!

respectfully
