One of the pleasures of having children is seeing them discover and enjoy things that you already like. It is a powerful form of parent-child bonding. It can be something as simple as coming home and finding your kids watching Monty Python. They’re laughing at the same skits you laughed at when you were young. This happened to me just the other day. The skit was not one I remembered seeing, actually. I think they must have been carefully selected by the U.S. back in the day. The skit involved a blackmail show. Typical Python stuff – they showed a clip of someone up to no good until that someone called and promised to pay. One video showed a proper man going to a woman’s home and the studio phone rang, ending the clip, just as you see the man kneeling and the woman taking up a flogger. Such fun to see people aware of my kink so long ago.
Really, though, what this post is all about is something my oldest child shares with me besides a sense of humor. My daughter is nearly eighteen and she just came out to me not only as a lesbian (which I suspected anyway), but as a Domme, as well. This bit of news blew me away. My husband and I have been very careful to hide our kink from the kids, although we’ve been open about how I’m the boss. When she confessed her bdsm inclinations, I actually got a little weepy. This is nature at work. How else to explain it? And unlike me, she has someone to come to and help guide her through the lifestyle, and tell her that she is okay.
She and I have always been close, but this brings us together at a whole new level. I love it!
Samantha, the proud mom.

Wow! That is fantastic!! I honestly can't even imagine coming out to my parents. And I have no idea how we will handle the conversation if we ever decide to have kids. "Mommy why is your bum all black and blue?" "Well, cause mommy likes it when daddy smacks her" Yeah, so I need to work on that a bit....lol
ReplyDeleteI have one daughter who is very open with me, and one who could be from the 1950s when it comes to sex talks. I had to laugh at your daughter watching Monty Python. I remember in high school hearing my dad listen to Dr. Dimento on the radio - really quirky music like Weird Al Yankovic. I teased him mercilessly about it. Then two years later it became cool to listen - all my friends were - and Dad got to rub it in.
