Q. What are some particular speedbumps you've hit in this area due to being a parent?
A. TIME! there is never enough. Privacy! The smarter the child the less you have. You just won't know it.

Q. Do your children know about your interests?
A. Mine are all grown and while it has never been discussed you can tell what they know by the questions they feel comfortable asking you.

Q. If you had a choice would you mind one way or the other if your children were into BDSM when they got older?
A. One is for sure, one is in denial, and one is solid vanilla. But honestly I don't care if they dance naked in the woods and worship trees if that makes them happy.

Q. In the community how protective are you when it comes to identifying yourself as a parent/talking about your kids? Do you ever worry about that whole "online" aspect here?
A. I don't mind talking about my kids, I'm just not going to point them out to anyone. The online aspect does not count to me. If you can track me back to my front door from my postings, I will invite you in for tea.

Q. 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.
A. Not my question.

Q. If you are a dom, do you find your parenting style to be authoritarian? Please describe the differences in your treatment of your child vs your partner.
A. To a point. Rules and structure are very important to children. I am King in my domain, She is Queen. If they did not respect her authority, They answered to me for it.

Feel free to add any general thoughts you have on the topic, even if it isn't an answer to one of these Q's.

Never yield your authority over your children to anyone. Love them, fight for them, and be strong enough to allow them to fail. It builds character and tears will dry.
