ORIGINAL: Wisdomseeker Have you ever seen a parent tell their child not to do something, then watched the child look right at them and do it anyways? In the last relationship I was in, my kitten had come from a string of horrendously abusive relationships and therefore equated being beaten savagely with being loved. I didn't realize this at first, and just thought she was causing trouble for troubles sake. I work from home, so I was always around her, but I still needed my space to work effectively (because I CAN'T get any work done with her wigglin' around). I spoke to her about this and laid out the rules (9am-1pm work time, hour break, 2pm-4pm work, then off for the rest of the day)and the penalty for breaking them (spanking with various implements, corner time etc), and thought everything would be fine. The next day she KEPT coming into my office for no reason, but I screwed up, because I didn't keep to my own rules. Because of this she just escalated her misbehavior until the next day while I was working she jimmied the door open, sauntered in, unplugged my pc and ran off. This made me livid beyond livid and it took all I had not to go past my own rules when disciplining her. I told a friend my situation and he suggested "Maintenance Discipline", essentially discipline for the sake of discipline, so that things don't get out of hand. It worked 110%, and instantly fixed my situation. Routine is important, since it gives a sense of solidarity, so the maintenance was always at the same time. Hopefully this helps someone like it did me. It's nice to see such a blatant example of the 's-type' running the show and the 'd-type' submitting and serving so well.
