I love how honest and candid you are in...Hi Mouse,<br /><br />I love how honest and candid you are in your blog. I have wondered though whether you ever considered getting assertiveness training? I just question what you get out of the relationship. I just see how you write that you do all the cooking, household chores normally, that Omega might cook very occasionally. Also when Omega is "busy", you seem to just accept it instead of not tolerating him shutting you out. Do you ever feel resentful or angry about any of this but just bottle it up? Oh and that you have all Omega's family over at Christmas time and that the entertaining is mostly left to you to do-could you not just go to their houses some years also? What may I ask does Omega do to please you? What does Omega do to make the relationship work? Thanks for letting me comment, hope I haven't offended either of you as I do enjoy reading your posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-61230739369837403752011-12-17T15:46:58.757-08:002011-12-17T15:46:58.757-08:00Very honest answers Mouse.

I understand why you wonder whether the questions were snarky, but I had the sense that they were genuinely curious about stuff that seems unfair. <br /><br />And I don't think our kids want to know anything about our sexuality. I certainly didn't want to know about my parents.sinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082648132476803815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-32692629823937318482011-12-17T09:46:14.671-08:002011-12-17T09:46:14.671-08:00Anonymous -- Welcome!

We are careful about all that, Yes, we have strong formal rules and expectations, but that goes on both sides. He expects mouse obey and mouse expects him to pay attention and care that the rules are being followed. <br /><br />As to the locked door and children issue, let mouse pose this question to you...you are in the middle of sharing intimiacies with your husband and look up to see one of your kids standing there...what do you say? <br /><br />Ashley -- thank you.<br /><br />Amber -- Exactly! But really do kids even think that much about their parents sex life?? When mouse was little she'd hear her parents doing it...eeeeeeew! Even if ya didn't know for sure, once ya knew were baby's came from and periods...ya just understood what was going on. Now mouse finds it sweet, but back then...<br /><br />Greengirl -- yep the focus of this blog is about our dynamic, or power exchange, not about extended family and never has been. The overall implication is that's it's just wrong...and mouse feels that children are used as an excuse to somehow highlight it. <br /><br />Thank you for all the comments! <br /><br />Hugs,<br />mousemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837530120535693314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-27966604339184199172011-12-17T05:47:43.245-08:002011-12-17T05:47:43.245-08:00Lots of us have kids, or whatever other family or ...Lots of us have kids, or whatever other family or other circumstances to work around. The fact that we don't write about the logistics of working around it doesn't mean we aren't careful. Who know's what the perfect balance is, for which child even. Our kids see their parents in love, communicating, and affectionate. They see us respect each other. Hopefully, that is what they will learn about intimate relationships - no matter what flavor they eventually end up with.greengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897315716330033528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-53668939898959928492011-12-16T16:44:35.210-08:002011-12-16T16:44:35.210-08:00I always think it's odd when people say why do...I always think it's odd when people say why don't the kids notice, because really, any hardcore or sexual activities are private. As for outside the bedroom, as mouse said, respect looks like respect, and hopefully goes both ways.<br /><br />My parents kept their door locked at night and I am 99.999% sure there was no BDSM involved. It didn't take me long to figure out NOT to look for toys or other materials, either. A married couple deserves a private sex life regardless of whether that sex is vanilla or power-weighted.Amberhttp://www.amberskye.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-82033213574318193872011-12-16T13:42:55.140-08:002011-12-16T13:42:55.140-08:00Beautifully put mouse.Beautifully put mouse.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797273349419240025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122051460450771848.post-89646474267977033492011-12-16T12:26:03.311-08:002011-12-16T12:26:03.311-08:00I admit, when I first learned that people live thi...I admit, when I first learned that people live this kind of lifestyle 24/7, I wondered how the people around them didn’t notice, but the more I learned about it, the more I examined my own relationship, and what it may look like to an outside observer. My husband and I have a pretty traditional marriage at the moment, he works and I stay home with the kids, and guess what, I handle just about all the domestic duties, take care of all the errands, and do my best to get supper on the table for when he walks in the door. I have never questioned if I am sending the wrong message to my kids, and no one has implied I am a doormat. Every family works differently, and that is exactly what we tell our children.<br /><br />I think the biggest difference between my vanilla marriage and yours is the formal rules. Every relationship has expectations and rules, and consequences when they are not met. For you they are very clear, for the me they are vague, disrespectful to him, maybe I get the silent treatment, he comes home to find a complete disaster, I probably will have to listen to his snark for a while. There are always consequences.<br /><br />I do still wonder what someone would tell a child about a door that is always locked or what they may say if a child discovered what was behind that locked door, but I’m sure it would be the same thing I will tell my children if they ever find that special box at the back of the closet. It’s not your business what your parents do behind closed doors.<br /><br /><br />I'd love to come off anon, but all my online stuff is lumped together, and heaven knows what the ladies at the knitting club would think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
