It's been important to us to arrange for things that have meaning for us, as a D/s couple, that don't stand seem peculiar, or odd, in front of our kids or to co-workers, neighbours, etc. I'll give an example. Bill wants a fairly detailed understanding of what I will be doing during the day, and often has specific things he wants me to do. Thus began the tradition of sharing our plans for the day over breakfast. It was, as far as the kids could tell, just what we did every morning, and if they thought it was odd that Bill would revise my plans, and I accepted his revision, they never mentioned it.
As we incorporated technology into our everyday lives, Bill introduced an on-line calendar into the mix. We add things into my calendar as needed, and he reviews my plans for the day, and makes changes before he leaves for work in the morning. Because interrupting his work day to discuss fairly insignificant changes doesn't work for him, I make those sort of changes in my calendar as I go through the day. Yesterday I was supposed to go to the bank mid-morning. We forgot that there was a parade downtown, and on the way to the bank, I heard about it on the radio. I returned home, updated my calendar, and rescheduled the errand for later in the day. We generally talk at lunch time, so in terms of just the communication aspect of this, the whole calendar thing is overkill, but for us, it is an almost constant reminder of the nature of the commitment we have to each other.
