Congratulations, orangeblossoms! I've been a collared sub to my Master RedWraith for the past 8 years and have been His wife for the past 7 1/2 years. And yes, it is possible to have it all, to be a sub/slave and remain in a D/s relationship with Him. W/we don't have children; W/we are child-free by choice, but I am sure there are other D/s couples out there who have children and make the D/s relationship work.

W/we have a house in the suburbs, I wear a collar 24/7, W/we have pets, etc. So on the outside W/we appear pretty vanilla (my collar looks like a silver choker). I'm sure there are others like U/us out there. And it can work, as long as you and your Master are willing to put forth the effort and work at it.
