D/s with children.

It was a lot easier when the kids were younger and had reasonable bed times. Now we have a teenager who likes to stay up late.

So we send the youngest to bed and tell the girl-child to turn her radio up, then try to be a little quiet (not the easiest thing for my kitten to do).

Getting the kids out of the house overnight works, sleepovers and grandparents.

If you have a local dungeon and don't mind public play, that's an option: "Be good, kids, mommy and daddy are going to their club."

The little things can add up, too.

Whispering "mine" in her ear gets a good reaction from my kitten.

I touch her a lot, rubbing her head and playing with her hair, so every now and then I'll get a good grip and slowly pull her hair tight -- no one can see it, but it's a reminder to both of us.

She started sitting on the floor in the living room because the couch was hurting her back, but I've found that I really like that. She sits next to my legs or between them with her laptop on the coffee table. 'course the fact that this positions her nicely for me to rub her back and shoulders might be an ulterior motive.

Exactly.

Yes Kittens tend to do that.

Wow. I'll have to save some of this info for the future. As I am only 19, and in no way mentally ready to have children of my own but I know how some of you with children do feel (I have two younger brothers aged 4 and 1) and things can be slightly awkward for me and My Master, as well as around my brother (who is 17) and a sister ( who's 14). So there are slight changes we do. Like My Master will grab my hand on give it a loving squeeze or he'll gently and softly rub my clavicle (ooh how that gets me weak in the knees), or if he's sitting behind me (or if I'm in his lap) he'll scratch my head and say "who's My kitten?" and I get all mushy and gooey with love and happiness that I almost actually purr!
