Feeling Small Again...

I've been trying so hard to be the responsible grown-up I should be... but sometimes, it's like my inner little girl takes over. Last week, my Dominant gave me a list of chores to do before she got home from work. The house was spotless when she left, and I could have sworn I had everything under control. But as the day went on, my concentration drifted off... There were only three things left: washing the dishes, vacuuming the living room, and folding laundry. By evening, I found myself playing video games instead of doing them. The guilt was overwhelming. When she walked in, her eyes scanned the house like a detective's, and I could tell by the look on her face that she knew exactly what happened... She made me redo all the chores late into the night as punishment for my laziness. It felt terrible to be treated like a naughty child again, but it was also strangely comforting knowing someone cared enough to hold me accountable. Sometimes, being held in this adult-DL dynamic is more than just play, it's a lifeline.
