ORIGINAL: devil1963 How does one deal with a “brat” ? They seem to have no idea of where there head is. To me it feels like nothing more than attn grabbing ……….. any ideas? Are you saying that because *you* can't deal with a "brat", then the problem must be with the brat because they apparently have no idea where their collective heads are? Brattiness certainly does amount to attention seeking! It also amounts to disrespect if it's ongoing, but here's a thought.... D/s is a control based dynamic which works best when the Dom/me is in charge. I for one do NOT subscribe to passive dominance. I believe that if someone is to call themself "Dominant" (the one who is meant to be in charge) then they should proactively take charge rather than just leave everything to the submissive to behave and obey blah blah.... It's all very well to lazily accept a submissive's service but they have needs, too, such as a desire to be *dominated* in return - and a D/s dynamic is born. And when they don't get that, it leads to doubt and disrespect - and a brat is born, instead. Now (Box 1), you can always stamp your feet in frustration (your thread title comes to mind here) or, (Box 2) you can follow RavenMuse's advice and "dismiss" this brat and thus find one who apparently appreciates what amounts to his version of passive dominance or, (Box 3) you can live up to the "Male Dominant" tag you've chosen for yourself and damn well take charge of this alleged "brat". Box 1 gets you nowhere other than looking like a goose, Box 2 gets you alone, probably in perpetuity and Box 3 gets your Dominant credentials to ANTE UP! A hint: Try Box 3 and see how long the brattiness lasts.... BATTER UP!!! Focus.
