I still think there is a similarity between the two.

People do what they have to do in a given situation. Yes I am a submissive... but if I were to ever have children I know I would have to step up to the plate so to speak and be everything my child would need... including in some situations to speak my dominance over them.. to put my foot down.

After all what is a dominant? Someone who guides... cherishes... loves.. protects... listens... helps... and so much more

What is a parent? ..... see the above ^^^


Strip the sex from the D/s aspect and I think it can be very comparible. Just as you have hardcore D/s situations and less extreme ends of a D/s relationship ... you have that as well in a parent/child situation. Some parents are more of the free spirited here are some choices pick one and I hope you do what is "right"... others set clear guidlines of what is expected of the child.

For me I guess... I don't see a clear distinction between the two...
