Well, of course like most everyone else John and I are spending our days at home. John likes to read. We both like to walk in the neighborhood. We keep up with the neighbors from a distance. We will get through this and be better for having had the experience.
John made an interesting comment related to the recent post concerning Becky. In the posting the remark was made that Becky considers her husband as her first mate and expects him to take a leadership role with the children. John's comment was that may be true for now, but one day that daughter of hers will take charge of her father. Yes, I replied, but day is a long time ways in the future. Still, in mind's eye I could see that peppy little girl growing into a young woman who has the confidence and courage to lead men.
Thank you all for the great comments related to religion. A special thank you to Carl for his well thought out contribution. If you have not read his comment please do. And, if you have read it please read it again. And, for Tony, thank you for thinking of us, but because of the references to location I decided not to post. You are a sweetheart.
Love you all,
Kathy
Dear Mistress Kathy,
ReplyDeletei wanted to respond here to Your post and let You know that there really isn't much to comment on. We are all fairly comfortable in how we read Your blog and if i am any gauge, know and can tell the more dominant children from others. Your granddaughter may very well change, as most kids do and grow into someone who is not dominant in normal situations.
Of course, we must all be dominant at times, like if we are working in a supervisory type job or are just not submissive except to our one, special Femdom. But, having said that, she will know and understand who is in charge and just naturally adapt to the circumstance; i am sure.
Thank You again for posting. It is such a joy to read Your words and advice.

I agree that circumstances help to determine whether someone takes on a dominant role or not. I have taken on a dominant role in a number of work situations because of job responsibilities, but I am by nature somewhat more submissive in some personal relationships. I agree that circumstances will help determine whether Mistress Kathy's granddaughter will take on a dominant role in her relationships. There are two very influential circumstances that are likely to affect her: her immediate family environment, and her culture. She has clear female dominant role models in her mother and grandmother, as well as somewhat submissive role models for men in her father and grandfather. If she grows up with female dominant role models, she is much more likely to incorporate such roles into her own identity. Our culture is much more frequently accepting and displaying assertive and even dominant female role models, greatly reducing the conflict between her family role models and her broader culture. When both family and culture support her taking a dominant role, then she is much more likely to do that. Of course, her native personality traits will play a major role as well. Time will tell.
DeleteIs it too lat to comment about “ rleligion” ( light the blue touch paper and retire)
ReplyDeleteI looked up “ wives obey your husbands” on Google - lots of references
I looked up the reverse - no biblical references
I spoke with my wife
She said “ maybe shared values /attitudes/ opinions/ desires/ sense of humour
But nothing to do with God.
Simple - you want to serve me. I’m more than happy to oblige
We negotiated the “rules” starting maybe five years ago
I’m ok you’re ok. win/Win
Thank you, Ms K. As long as all of you are fine, I'm happy too.
