Being a Parent in the BDSM World

[SubmissiveDoll]

I have a few questions for those of you who are parents out there-


What are some particular speedbumps you've hit in this area due to being a parent?

I'd have to say, finding time to be alone for some play time. Or even simply sunggling on the couch. *grins* Kids have an internal alarm system for that.. "OH NO! Mom is doing something! I have to mess that up!" lol

Do your children know about your interests?

If you had a choice would you mind one way or the other if your children were into BDSM when they got older? (Not with you, let's leave any incest out on this one please.)

Never really thought about this one. But as the mother of two daughters, no. I don't think I would mind at all. As long as they were safe and happy.

As for my kids knowing about my lifestyle, no. They don't know on a conscious level. I'm sure they see the dynamic of the relationship, but it doesn't register to them as anything but just the way things are in our house. I don't call my Master 'Master' in front of the kids. I call him Love, which means the same thing to us.

If you are a sub, do you see raising your children as another act of being a good sub to your partner or do you take a different position/differentiate? Please describe your views of your position as a mother/father vs your position as a sub.

Yes and no. For us it's slightly different. I have two children from a previous marriage, and so does he. However, taking care of the kids, mine or his, does feed into my submissive aspect. I enjoy serving him and the kids at the same time.
