jea, You are posing a question that is almost impossible to answer because in reality, there is never any one answer that's right for all. And obviously, there is a lot more to your story than what you have written here. The whole thing about asking questions, for example. It's difficult to say. Because on the one hand, asking questions is a good thing and generally, I encourage it. It can lead to greater clarification and learning. And that's always a good thing. But sometimes, the issue is not the asking of the question itself, but the way that the question is asked. Also, sometimes you are dealing with a Master with unrealistic expectations. Ie- Masters who expect immediate and unflinching trust and obedience after knowing one another for a relatively short period of time. Sometimes, you're dealing with a Master who is not interested in the realities of M/s but rather is only interested in fantasy-fulfillment. There are just so many possibilities. But, generally speaking, I believe that M/s dynamics should be entered into judiciously, with much thought, negotiation and care. And to me that translates into a fair amount of time spent talking about the more mundane realities of life BEFORE a collar goes around anyone's neck, ie- how the bills are seriously going to be paid, what one's s/m limitations really are, how I am to be addressed in the real world, what to do about children and other family members...etc, so on and so forth... But to address the issue of children on a very serious level. You as parent are ultimately responsible for their health and well-being. And so, you have to...and I really mean HAVE TO use your BEST judgment when it comes to issues of how to raise them, how to discipline them. While it's always good to listen to the counsel of others, it's NEVER a good idea to just take bad advice, with the thought of, well, Master says I should do this. I think that's nothing short of ca-ca and your children will be the ones to suffer in the end. And if you think for a second that you need help in figuring out the difference between good and bad advice, then I would suggest you're not ready to be anyone's slave and you won't be until you are able to trust that your own judgments are sound. Until you can say that, you'd be putting yourself and possibly your children at risk. But in all things, I wish you the best, MNN
