Little plotters

 Our children are like a pack of velociraptors, I know, I have seen the Jurassic Park films!  They communicate with one another, plot and plan, seek out your weak spots and when they find them they go in for the kill.

Master and I have always agreed that when it comes to the children we absolutely have to be on the same wavelength, because otherwise they will divide and conquer, it has been known for them to get one over on us, not a lot but it's happened, so you have to be on the ball.

So, when they all joined us in the lounge one evening, which is a rarity these days being the ages they are, it doesn't happen very often, apart from Christmas, oh what am I going to do when they do all fly the nest properly, Christmas is my favourite holiday, ok I'm going off track, I will not mention Christmas again until December and then you might not want to come visit here, coz yeah love, love love it....ok getting back on track..

Yes, anyway in they all come, I had to put Grey's Anatomy on pause, very inconvenient, and say they have a proposition, basically the 4 of them would like to go on holiday together this summer to Thailand if travel restrictions are lifted and its safe to do so.

And they have done their research, and here we go they regale us with all this information, one son casually dropping in that he dropped out of uni in February and has been staying with my sister since then (I shall kill her later, firstly lets deal with this) oh and daughter crashed her car and it's a right off hence why she got a lift home with her brothers.  Now these 2 bits of information was intended to be overlooked by their planning of the holiday, oh which by the way they expected us to pay for because as one put it "now "P" has dropped out your saving money on uni fees and stuff" and the daughter going on about how there is no better education than getting out in the world!

The look of disbelief on their faces when we said no was priceless, do they think we are stupid?  or that gullible? the only credit I will give them is they really had done their research, so much so me and Master considered we might go ourselves, that went down really well, not.  Daughter's parting quip to that was that you two are too old to do anything adventurous...cheers sweetheart, but we will be having a discussion about your car!

    I love that your kids like one another so much that they want to travel together. I'm impressed that they did excellent research, and I'm super impressed that you all said no! I would have wanted to say no to the idea anyway, but to think you guys would pay? I also admire your kids chutzpah!

      Oh only because it would have been in their best interests and stood a better chance of getting us to agree if they were all on the same page! to be fair though for the most part they get along fine with one another, now when they was smaller, goodness no.

    OMG! That is so awesome Clarie!

    I mean none of it is, but you have to give them props! A united front, nice banter and research into a trip, small misdemeanors mentioned in passing. Nicely done kids.

    Plus, they like each other enough to travel together?

    Beautifully played by you guys as well. A simple no. Awesome!

    Boo

      Yep we did give them credit for their 'presentation' it was most amusing for us, not for them when we said no lol

      They do get on well, not always, but if it's a common goal in mind it's amazing how they band together :)

From city girl to country gal

 One of the options Master has considered in respect of his parents is us moving back to the city, it ticks all the boxes, my dad is there as well as my sister and our children have all said they want to escape the country, I can understand the children's views as young adults there isn't really a lot here for them...but this is the option I am the most against, there was a time many years ago I would have absolutely jumped at the chance to move back. Master and I are both from the city as are both our families, he took me to look at the property, the home we are in now 18 years ago, I was pregnant with our 4th and last child at the time, it was up for auction, an old 5 bedroom farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, structurally sound, although in need of a lot of modernisation, the previous owners clearly had a love of  dark wood panelling it was everywhere which made the house dark and gloomy, set in 6 acres of land with a barn and a separate 2 bedroom small cottage in a really

Parenting the parents

 First off, apologies for taking a while to reply to comments on previous post, I haven't been active much here this past week due to family circumstances. Last Tuesday afternoon Master's mum phoned quite distressed, my father in law was diagnosed with vascular dementia last August and as was to be expected he is getting worse, and she hadn't let us know up until this point how much she was struggling, she didn't want to be a bother, of course we would ask but we would get a very watered down version, and what with the lockdowns Master has been visiting once a week but in the garden, I haven't due to shielding. Anyway, after the call, packed a small suitcase and travelled to London, traffic was fairly light and so we got there in just over an hour and a half, Master was quiet on the journey, he is close to his parents and I knew he was stewing on the situation, he had wanted them to come live with us when his dad was diagnosed, but they didn't want to and I coul

It doesn't look like that

 Years ago I used to read books, fiction and non-fiction about bdsm lifestyles, D/s etc and more often than not would be left disillusioned, I didn't feel any connection to what was being portrayed, obviously I haven't read every book out there.  What I was looking for was validation, that we are normal, that it's ok to be the way I am in a modern society where women are encouraged to be independent, have careers, to be equals, and I'm not one of those women. If you were to visit our home there is nothing that is out of the ordinary, nothing to indicate that in any way is there kink in our lives or that we live as Master and slave, actually my Master refers to me as his property and himself as Owner, terms I still have a little difficulty with. I just wander, about what people think, I think myself what does ttwd look like to others, can it be sustained 24/7, it can but perhaps it's separating fantasy from the fiction, of course fantasy, the sex, the kink sells, but
