Bratty sub

This I am reposting from her journal to my own as a reminder to myself in the future of my own reasons for things...

Elle:

Sir told me that yesterday that i was acting bratty.

In all reality I am not sure if he is amused or not. Bratty doesn't sound like a compliment, but he was smiling and laughing the whole time.
This morning Sir decided that with him and online (and other appropriate D/s situations) that I should show more traditional respect. When I am with family and friends that I could be a little more loose. But I guess that confuses me. Does Sir not like laughing with me? It is hard to imagine the mirth in his eyes actually being disappointment. He also didn't punish me - so I again and confused if he is really displeased with me or not.

I know that I am to obey Him in all things... just realizing that I am confused. I want to make Him happy. Just feel like a couple mixed signals. I shall be patient with Him as I understand He is trying to figure this out as well.

My Response:
I'll attempt to clarify a bit a couple of things you mentioned.

I was very amused by you yesterday, and for the most part was using bratty as a playful term. I would appreciate more traditional respect in the chat-room and such, as actions there do reflect on both of us. On you for how well you are behaved, and on me for how well I have trained you.

The request for more traditional respect while in private is more of a training thing.

Don't get me wrong, I love laughing and playing with you, and thats not something I want to change long-term at all. However, I think for the sake of training my sub we need to start from the basics and have the respect part down. The idea is to make sure that you know that the poking fun and 'bratty' behavior is there because I allow it, and not because I don't, or can't have control. If this is to be a true 24/7 D/s relationship, thats how I beleive it needs to be.

You deserve a strong Dom as much as I deserve the incredibly good sub that I beleive you to be.

There was no punishment beyond font color because there was no conversation about it before hand, so it wouldn't be right to do so.

I hope that clears up the thought on it all a bit.
