Jack Helps Jill To Be A Better Submissive Wife

Ok - so this is the second to the last day of 2012!
As I wrote in my last blog - we use Domestic Discipline to help us communicate better, to work out our problems on the spot (hopefully) and build a deeper understanding of the new roles we want in our relationship.
But today I had an idea!
DD can be used for so many wonderful things.
One of my major goals is to be a submissive wife - but another goal is to be a better person.
I work in the day and have to get up early a few times a week, which is a big problem for me, because I am a night-owl.
I love going to bed late - which means I'm a wreck in the mornings.

I asked Daddy Jack if he would help with by giving me bedtime curfews.
The days I have to get up early - he will make sure I go to bed early, and the days
I meet later in the morning - he'll let me stay up a bit longer.
I can't do this on my own -I need Daddy Jack to help me achieve my goals.

So for the next year, he'll tell me when to go to bed - no negotiating - no contradictions.
If  he feels like sending me extra early to bed - I have to obey, because it is his right as leader of the house to send me to bed whenever he feels like it. This second part is to help me learn obedience which is essential for being a good submissive and taken- in- hand wife.
So, that¨s what's new around here - and I am so happy to have a HoH who cares so much about me, that he will anything he can to help me reach my goals! How lucky am I?!!

What a great way to end the year.

Happy New Year everyone!

Punishment or Domestic Discipline

Many people on many different forums repeatedly talk or write about punishment.
There are so many topics about
  • spankings, 
  • implements, 
  • infractions, 
  • rule breaking
  • spanking positions
  • consistency etc.

I think there is too much emphasis on punishment, and not enough on learning.
By this I mean that Domestic Discipline is exactly what those words mean -
discipline in the home - not domestic punishment.

The standard procedure for many  new DD couples is;  
  • they talk together about what they need to make the home run smoothly - 
  • and then make rules as guidelines.
So far, so good,
Then comes the punishment for breaking these rules.
Why?
We all learn by doing - we learn from our mistakes. Why punish someone who is trying to find their way in something so completely new as a domestic discipline relationship?

Being a teacher, I know that criticism (read: punishment) is not the best way to teach/learn something new.
No one likes being punished or criticized in the learning phase - it's a negative action.
Do parents yell at a baby when it's learning to walk, every time it falls down?
No - they don't.
Why should a new DDer be punished from day one?

From my own teaching experience , I know that I get much better results with discussion and praise.
Learning Domestic Discipline is no different.
  • There are a million old habits that need to be un-learned.
  • There is a new mind-set that needs to be learned and then internalized.
  • There are new roles to accept and new responsibilities to take on.
  • There is a new form of communication to employ.
  • There are a new rules to abide by.
Of course newbies will make mistakes in the beginning -Learning or being disciplined is fine - but being punished is not the right way to go about it, in my opinion.
It really takes a long time to re-learn so many new things.
 Here at our house - we've come up with learning reminders. Small spankings that help me learn to embrace the role of a submissive wife to my hubby and not contradict him and his decisions all the time.
They also teach me to respect that his word is final and to obey his decisions - and to stop negotiating with him on every little thing.

These small reminders help Jack learn to take control, be the man of the house, embrace his new role as leader and take responsibility for the both of us.
DD keeps him on his toes and he is learning to play an active part in our marriage - and..
we are learning to communicate in a whole new way.
The only reason I can think of to really punish someone, is if they do something to hurt the relationship - on purpose.
I guess the point of this blog is to say that Domestic Discipline is not all about punishment, but about learning a new lifestyle that will make everyone happier.

Happy New Year dear DD friends!!

Why Jill Needs Those Reminders

We are moving into our 3rd month of living a Domestic Discipline marriage.
We've read articles, books, blogs, websites and what ever we could read to find guidance in making our own decisions about what works for us.

Some sites urge HoHs to punish their TIHs  for the smallest infractions.
Other sites deem communication as the most important factor in a Dd relationship/marriage.
There are blogs that advocate reminder and maintenance spankings - hoping these will keep the heavy discipline punishments at bay.
Some advocate daily spankings, and others a couple times a week or when necessary.

We're finding out what works for us - and at the moment, I find relinquishing total control to Jack very difficult. Therefore I appreciate reminders to help me find my new role and give up the old.
The dynamics of a Dd relationship are so different from what we've lived before.

I don't want to change my personality, but I do want to be submissive by handing over control to Jack and letting him know how much I appreciate all he does.

I think I'm at the stage where I don't really know where I am!! - I'm kind of on my way out and on the way into something - like having a foot in each world!!

All I know at the moment is, that our version of Dd has helped our marriage to a better place.

With hope for Peace in the new year.
Season's Greetings to all you wonderful people out in Dd land!
Hugs
Jack and Jill

Jill Broke A Rule


Jill Broke A Rule..........

I knew it was coming - just not today.
December is a busy month for almost everyone.
So many things to keep track of,- shopping, Christmas Cards,
Christmas concerts, work, home, working on being a better wife,
remembering all the rules we agreed upon and much more.

Well, Daddy Jack told me to blow out the Christmas candle.
"No problem - I'll do it in a minute." I answered - went upstairs and
promptly forgot all about the candle.

Jack was busy working, but when he came upstairs
"Didn't you forget something?" Oops - I had  promised
to blow out the candle, and didn't.

I had a million and one excuses for not doing what was asked of me.
I could see it in his eyes - I broke a rule..........No I broke two - 
well to be honest  - I broke 3.
I didn't obey a simple request, I did something dangerous and I showed a lack of respect
for my beloved Jack by trying to worm my way out of what I rightfully deserved - a spanking.

I really felt bad about these two (OK -  three)  infractions and apologized for my bad behavior.
After a spanking with his hand, his wooden spatula and ending with the leather
paddle, I promised I would try much harder to be a loving and respectful wife.

Sorry Daddy Jack!
Love you.
Your Jill

Jill's Spanking Facts



My Spanking Facts!!  

This list is borrowed from Sir and His Girl's Blog.

I’ve only taken the questions that relate to Domestic Discipline because we don’t use spanking for anything else.

If you want to see the original list, you can see it here at Sir and His Girl’s blog:

http://www.sirandhisgirl.info/


1) Would you rather be spanked outside in a cold woodshed or inside by a cozy fire?  
Definitely by a cozy fire! My Hubby spanks me with love.

2) Would you rather be spanked in public or private?

DD is a private matter and not something people normally talk about – so I’d say in private.

3) Would you rather fantasize about spanking or actually be spanked?
I need my maintenance spankings so I want to be actually spanked.

4)Would you rather be spanked for punishment  or for your spanker’s pleasure?

Punishment and maintenance

5) Would you rather be spanked by hand or hairbrush?
The hand please!

6) Would you rather be spanked by belt or cane?
We have a leather paddle – so I would choose the belt – kinda the same thing.

7) Would you rather be spanked by ping pong paddle or riding crop?
Ping pong paddle – I guess I am a paddle person!

8) Would you rather be restrained or unrestrained during a spanking?
I can restrain myself – it’s a big part of learning submission.

9) Would you rather be spanked until you cried or until you are aroused?
I don’t cry – I whimper.  When I whimper, I know my HoH’s message is getting through!

10) Would you rather have just a red bottom or welts/bruises?
Red bottom – welts and bruises are abuse in my opinion.

11) Would you rather be spanked for the naughty things you have done or just because you enjoy the experience?
For breaking the rules we have and for being disobedient and disrespectful.

12) Would you rather be spanked with panties up or panties down?
No panties at all – just good old-fashioned bare -bottomed.

13) Would you rather be spanked somewhat clothed or entirely naked?
Somewhat clothed – but if my hubby wanted me naked, I would obey.

14) Would you rather be spanked OTK or bent over a table/chair?
Whatever my Hubby decides. I’m good with his choices. Both are ok.

15) Would you rather be a brat to your spanker to deserve a spanking or simply ask your spanker for a spanking because you know you needed it?
I often ask for a spanking and know when one is needed!

16) Have you received a spanking in the last week?
Almost everyday!

17) Would you rather be spanked for the physical pleasure or the emotional release?

The emotional release. Keeps me in balance and helps me learn my role as a submissive wife..

18) Would you rather tell your best friends that you enjoy to be spanked or keep it a secret?
The world is not ready for this and neither are our friends – so it is a very private thing between us.

19) Would you rather spanking be a lifestyle choice or just something you dabble in?
It is turning into a lifestyle and I can’t imagine turning back at the moment.

20) Would you rather your husband be a vanilla or a spankoholic too? 
 I want him to embrace his role as leader, disciplinarian and the man I love and respect – so it’s good we’re on the same page about this – therefore – a spankoholic.

21) Would you rather be spanked by a stranger or by someone who knew you well? 
Only by the man I love. It’s all about love, marriage, peace, harmony, respect, being taken in hand, and adored!

22) Would you rather be talked to while you are spanked or no talking at all?
Talked to before and after. (sometimes in between)

23) Would you rather get one swat at a time with pauses to let the sting set in or a continuous tanning to build up the fire?
One swat at a time but for a longer period. I can’t take continuous spanking, especially with the leather paddle.

24) Would you rather be forced into a spanking or willingly submit into a spanking?

Willingly submit to a spanking – again, because it’s part of my unlearning bad habits and learning respect and obedience. I know when I have an attitude problem.

25) Would you rather have a safe word or be pushed beyond your preconceived limits?
We have a safe word – but I totally trust my hubby to be fair and to know my limits.

26) Would you rather your spanker know your spanking history or is ignorance bliss?
I have no spanking history at all. But if I had, I’d let him know. Honesty is the best policy and the foundation for a good marriage.

27) Would you rather be spanked once a day or once every few months?

We haven’t evolved that far yet – so everyday is best for me.

28) Would you rather a closer physical relationship or a closer emotional relationship with your spanker?
Both!  Domestic Discipline has definitely brought us closer together in every way.

29) Would you rather your spanker ice your bottom down after a spanking or send you to the corner to display his/her accomplishment?

Aloe Vera is what we use and that’s fine with me. I hate ice and corner time would be humiliating.
That’s not what DD is about, in my opinion.

30) Would you rather your spanker be the person you wish to live the rest of your life with (i.e. marriage) or the person you can call on when your tushy tickles?
The only man in my life – my hubby.

31) Would you rather spanking be part of love making or not a part of love making?

Lots of different opinions out there in DD blogland about this – but love making as a comfort AFTER spanking is wonderful and brings us closer together.

32) Would you rather your spanker have total control over you when you are being spanked or do you still want to have some control while you are being spanked?

I want him in control – I need to show him how much I trust him.

33) Would you rather be humiliated or respected during a spanking?
Spankings are for changing bad behavior and for making a home a happier, calmer and peaceful place. Humiliation plays no part in that. Where there is humiliation – there is no respect.
 
34) Would you rather your spanking be gentle and gradual or painful and abrupt?
Gradual and gentle.

35) Would you rather be spanked exclusively in your own bedroom or anywhere else other than your own bedroom?
Wherever my hubby decides. I personally like the bedroom best – but the decision is up to him.

36) Would you rather be spanked exclusively on your bottom or would other places be interesting too?
Only on my tush!
 
37) Would you rather that spanking be a surprise or something that you have to look forward to?
It all depends on the situation.

38) Would you rather that spanking be a part of role playing kinkiness or a response to events that have happened in reality?

DD and spankings are a lifestyle for us, not a game. Spanking for us would be  as a response to events.

39) Would you rather be cuddled or scolded after a spanking?
Absolutely cuddled and loved.
