Happy Saturday. I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. We are heading out on a trip this weekend. We're playing our return by ear, but it will be sometime after the July 4th holiday here in the U.S.
Everything has been pretty dead here anyway. Maybe a couple of weeks without a topic to address will give everyone a chance to recharge their interest in all things Domestic Discipline. I hope you're all getting to spend some of the summer relaxing with family and friends, and I hope all of you in the U.S. get a long weekend off. Behave yourselves and be safe.
Happy travels.
ReplyDeleteWe've been so hit and miss with DD this year that it feels inauthentic to comment about anything other than our struggles to get in gear, or rather, my struggle to get her to keep me in gear. I'm a bit of a broken record on that topic so I try not to overdo it.
Some recent family schedule changes are creating opportunities for us, as is encouraging the teenagers to be more consistently social during the summer! I'm also working on sources of sound traveling through the house. We're both getting healthier and more fit for other reasons. I think that will make it easier for her to say yes to an athletic activity, and perhaps her target will be slightly more appealing? :)
I want us to have a light touch with DD, to easily engage with it and feel like we're on the same page when we're taking a break.
I understand that feeling of inauthenticity, though if I gave into it, I'd post probably less than half as often. There have been long periods where we got into a rut and had very little going on on the DD front.
DeleteI appreciate that as encouragement! Thanks, Dan.
DeleteThere is a certain dress my wife wears that I just love seeing paired with a paddle in hand. She is wearing it today, and she's in kind of a heightened mood. I think I'll ask for a spanking.
We took a long break from DD, and we are altering it by not having spanking be included in our check in. She still has the authority to spank at any time, but since I seldom do anything to piss her off, spankings will be less frequent now. She has also been overwhelmed with family problems, and we have both been depressed over the direction this country is going in.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the depression, though I understand it. I'm a Democrat but also fiscally conservative. It's unbelievable to me that the party that used to preach fiscal conservatism is tacking on $4 trillion to an already exploding debt. But, then, at the end of the day the only steady principle that party has had over the last 40 years is that billionaires should pay less in taxes.
DeleteHappy 4th to all, it’s been a few weeks since checking in. We are super busy and away again. Dan, everyone must be on vacation. My wife has done the complete opposite and stepped up her DD. Since our last conversation, she has held me accountable for a few of my issues. Ons was getting animated and the other was my negativity. It’s something I needed to be addressed weekly about. She took the bull by the horns a few days ago very unexpectedly. I was miserable about a task and sort of took it out on her. She calmly told me my attitude sucked, it was unacceptable and I would be getting severely thrashed for it. I stuttered and didn’t argue. She then left the room. I mowed the lawn and completed other tasks. She caught me off guard. I took a long shower after sweating with yard work and when I exited the shower she was waiting with the strap in hand. She told me to turn around and bend over the shower. Im not sure if anyone here’s been strapped wet with the AC running, but it’s not pretty. She informed me if my hands left the edge of the tub, we would start all over. I could barely stay in position.
DeleteLet’s just say it was a religious
Experience and one that I don’t want to happen again anytime soon. That old saying of you won’t sit for a few days when she was finished, was correct. Later on, I gave her a hug and a kiss and thanked her for correcting me. She said you need to be chastised much for often than before and I will punish you severely moving forward. Be careful what you wish for. Have a happy fourth.

Be careful what you wish for -- for sure.
DeleteWe've been traveling and staying in other people's houses. So, nothing happening on the DD front for us right now.
