Surviving Summer
For many of us, summertime can be a challenge. It’s harder to sext with Sir while he’s at work with the kids out of school and roaming around the house. It’s harder to keep that horny subbie state of mind with children fighting non stop making you insane. Not to mention the fact that summer is busy season at work for both Sir and I. I know that I can’t be the only one who is struggling to maintain the D/s dynamic with kids out of school for the summer, so I thought it would be good to share ideas with each other on how to keep the flames lit. (And how to keep getting those chores done for Sir while the children are home and trashing the place.)
One thing we did to try and maintain our D/s over the summer is we made a “summer bucket list” of fun things to try and date nights to look forward to. We wrote the list in my journal that I present to him weekly during downtime. We also wrote a list of summer goals. We are both business professionals and find that it’s much easier to obtain a goal by writing it down. For us, we are both motivated by having something fun to look forward to as well. I made sure that the bucket list included lots of Sir’s interests (fishing, car shows) and some fun things to do at home.
We are hoping that by putting our goals in writing and being motivated by a list of fun things to do that we will not regress to our old vanilla selves when the summer stress of jobs and kids sets in.
That being said, does anyone have any advice as to how to further my development as a submissive with the kids around me 24/7? We are still fairly new to the lifestyle and I am finding it difficult to make time to educate myself like I can when the kids are in school. (They peek over my shoulder way too much!) Has anyone ever approached their Dom about having a set “education time” maybe one evening a week after the kids go to bed? If so, how did you go about asking and is it working for you?
