A Nurse's Secret Discipline Habit

Hi everyone! I hope you can help me figure out something that’s been on my mind for a while now. I’m a nurse in my early 30s, married to a wonderful man who respects and supports all of my interests and hobbies. One thing I’ve recently started enjoying is what some people call a “Mommy” role with him. It’s not about traditional authority or anything like that; we just have fun playing out this dynamic where I take care of him like he's someone younger, but it’s always consensual and very clear in our minds and relationship boundaries. So here’s the thing: Lately, my husband has really been into me disciplining him when he misbehaves. We’ve established some ground rules and safe words that both of us are okay with. It starts off light, like playful spanking or time-outs for something silly that maybe he did. And then there have been a few times where it’s escalated to more intense punishments, such as verbal scolding while I make him do push-ups or run laps around the house as punishment. The intensity and duration of these punishments depend on what we decide is appropriate at the moment. The thing that has me wondering about is how I feel during these moments. There's an odd mix of excitement mixed with this overwhelming sense of power, like I'm nurturing and protecting him while also teaching him a lesson. It’s weird because before we started exploring this dynamic, I was just your typical nurse; nothing too adventurous. But now that my husband knows about my kink for being a Mommy to him, it's opened up a whole new world of intimacy and connection between us. I just want to know if what I’m experiencing is normal or if there’s something wrong with me wanting to take on this role. I mean, obviously he enjoys it as much as I do, but every now and then I feel slightly guilty for enjoying the discipline aspect so much. Is that common in DDLG dynamics? Does anyone else experience these kinds of feelings? Thanks a bunch if you can share any thoughts or advice! 🌟
