GoddessDustyGold -> RE: From A Mistress to A Mistress (11/14/2008 1:23:08 PM)

~FR~ I will take a wild guess here and say that she does not have that look on her face because she is not in the mindset that she is doing these things to make your life easier. Instead, especially since you are often absent, she is handling the household as a chore that needs to be done for the common good of the household which means she wants it done. She is not doing it for you, per se. This does not mean there is any resentment for having to do it, but more a feeling that it is her space also and you are busy so she is taking care of things. Your slave needs to get into the mindset, with reinforcement from you, now matter how tired, that this is your home and you are the Mistress. Everything she does, whether you are there or not, is with the thought process that "Mistress will be happy that this is clean"...or "Mistress will be pleased that I have her dinner ready". Now you need to be happy, appreciative and thank her. Even, to My mind, thanking the slave for these little things, gets the consistent idea across that you are mindful of what is being accomplished and that you are pleased with the service. If she says, for instance, "I was tired after work so I didn't get to the grocery store and pick up your favorite tea..sorry "we" (not you) are out of it", and you let it go, then you have the beginnnings of something more egalitarian. Instead, you need to work up the energy to show your displeasure and make her realize that you are disappointed. As a Mistress is the M/s relationship, you do have an obligation, no matter how tired, to be "on". "On" does not mean that you are barking orders and setting up a scene or some sort. "On" means that you are also always mindful that you are the Mistress and you impart that in every attitude...whether it is a pleasant attitude of appreciation or an unpleasant attitude of disappointment. M/s is not the role...it is the mindset that is always there. Hope that helps.
