My Little Man at Night

I work nights and find the quiet time after everyone else goes to bed gives me space for my favorite kink. I’ve always felt like a natural authority figure, maybe from being a mom all these years but also just personality-wise. My partner looks up to me so much it’s easy to slip into this role of guiding him, even if he's quite a bit older than me. Tonight was special because we did the whole setup: his room decorated in baby blue and yellow with stuffed animals, a little crib for sleep times (though he doesn’t actually nap there), and I dressed as a nurse. He wears onesies or pajamas, it’s like playing out being in that position where you're just taken care of. It made me realize how much I love giving him orders, making decisions about when to eat, rest, and play. I’m strict but fair and he always listens because there's something so cute and adorable about seeing him submit. It’s funny, though, while we’re playing this out, it makes the stresses of work melt away. He’s actually asked me if I think we should tone down our sessions since he’s starting to feel like a kid with his parents all over again. But then how can you let go of something that feels so right? It's not that I want him to act like he did when he was younger, it’s an adult choosing to play out this role now, as adults. I guess what I’m asking is if there are other people out there who do this sort of thing? Is it normal for me to enjoy being a strict Mommy while at the same time feeling so nurturing and protective? What advice do you have on balancing this?
