Frankly, I disagree with much of what's been posted in reply but such is the nature of diversified opinions.... First, for "the record".... I initially found it confusing but I now gather 'Master' is a female - that there's not a third party lurking in here? Personally, I don't think the problems you're having is anything as simple as disobedience - problems rarely evolve from "black and white" situations. When I have core D/s dynamic problems with my girl that seem to repeat or escalate, I step back and try to take in a bigger picture. And I have 'tools' or means to fall back on.... One is that I don't believe subs/slaves in general (and mine in particular) are inherently bad or disobedient. If this suddenly seems to be the case and can't seem to be resolved with basic discipline or even a punishment, it's time to temporarily discard our role dynamic and discuss this in depth and as equal adults. It's here where I agree the OP is absolutely correct; that one of my 'tools' is *communication*! It takes two to communicate and it takes wisdom and maturity to appreciate that whatever is breaking down in the OP's relationship isn't about laundry, and is bigger than a mutual 'blame-game'! IMO, the Master (Mistress?) is extremely selfish/small-minded/negligent in her attitude not to appreciate the slave (OP) is literally screaming out for her help and too arrogant or immature not to know this needs to be addressed with compassion, not punishment! I've always said Dom/mes lead and subs follow.... I'd never tell my sub to just "deal with it" if her problems are affecting her overall behaviour! It's then *my* problem and I've got more avenues of redress than screaming commands or punishment! If slaves aren't bad or disobedient then this isn't about service or performance.... It feels like you're little more to her than an unpaid domestic servant - that it's always about the service.... If she cared for you, she'd sit you down and discuss *everything* that's concerning you and with an open mind to making changes if necessary. But if you really can't talk to her or she won't listen to you, then it tends to become your fault for remaining in her service - so suck it up or leave! Why are you there? Focus.
