This has to do with the depth of guilt or blame you as a Dominant accept- If I have not given clear instructions, I will accept the blame--a few times. I will not feel guilt because I want things a certain way. If I have not made My wants, needs, desires, hard limits clear---I will accept the blame, maybe even a little guilt. If someone is not suited to My needs, won't fit, doesn't follow My instructions and they are released or not considered further--I feel no guilt and accept no blame, no matter how they scream and holler, call Me names etc. Perhaps I am cold hearted--but I won't wear the monkey of blame or guilt forced on My by a submissive. How much blame or guilt do you as a D carry? How much will you assume on your back in the relationship? When is enough, enough?

If I screw up I accept responsibility and we move on. If my Dominant screws up, he accepts responsibility and we move on. We don't deal in guilt and blame, either of us. It's a destructive force.

I just DO NOT do the guilt thing. I have made some bad choices, I have made some dumbass choices, but I have done it out of hopefulness, out of that "well, maybe" wish. You never know, right, sometimes that flash of potential turns into something grand! Sometimes, though, it is just that flash, and nothing to back it up. Sometimes the potential is there, and it just doesn't match ME. It's taken me a long time to know when to cut my losses, but when I do, that is that. There are no second chances in my world. When it comes to blame, isn't there a saying that there is always plenty to go around? Even in the debacle of Hugh, I was not without fault. I learned to forgive myself for my own stupidity and weakness. I accept my part in all failures, but I do not accept the accusations of others if they are groundless. I do not act out of malice, ever, and I own up to my mistakes. I learn, and I move on.

I, like others, do not believe it serves any real purpose other to make matters worse. If I mess, which for me is not too often thankfully, My Master sits me down, tells me what I did that was wrong, tells me why it was wrong and what I either need to do to fix it, or how I should handle the same situation in the future. If he decided I am to be punished, which again is rare, because he knows how much I beat myself up when I know I have displeased him. He will then reassure me that while I did a bad thing, I was never and never will be a "bad girl"

I'm curious about you only accept blame at not giving clear instructions a few times. You can't mean that you continue to not express yourself clearly and blame the sub for not mind reading? I mentioned this because some people never communicate clearly and don't learn that they need to change their ways.

I was really hoping this would be a story about a scene that involved a monkey -- maybe with a little leather mask and whip.

Yeah, I wanted to hear a funny monkey story. Monkeys are funny.

Guilt, the gift that keeps on giving. Unless you are a recovering Catholic, "Stop. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $2OO."

Not a bit Des, as someone who's entire job deals with conference calls with peoples from around the world, I work very hard to sharpen those communication skills--however, how many times do I have to say: "2% milk not skim" ?

quote: ORIGINAL: CatdeMedici How much blame or guilt do you as a D carry? I carry blame for my own lapses in judgment. If the lapse isn't solely mine, I accept whatever portion accrues to me for my own involvement or lack of management in the situation. quote: How much will you assume on your back in the relationship? There are certain responsibilities that come with being the Matriarch of a household. Those include doing my absolute best to assure the safety and health of the House, and our integrity as a communal force. I absolutely accept the responsibility for those, and do my best to assure that decisions made on behalf of House Bladewing will be beneficial for the House and will not adversely affect the community in which we exist. There are, however, things that nobody can foresee, and those I do not take responsibility for, except in agreeing to manage them as they crop up, and accepting that, when new things -do- come up, I am present and consider the House first, and my own preferences only insofar as they do not conflict with the needs of the House. quote: When is enough, enough? To me, enough is enough when people expect me to apologize for -their- errors in judgment, or unwillingness to truly listen and accept that what I say is what I mean. I do my best to protect and care for the House and my responsibilities as Matriarch -- but I will not accept the blame for another person's poor choices. With that being said, if someone in or nominally in (under probation/consideration, etc., or an associate/friend of the family) does something that impacts the community adversely, while I will not accept responsibility for that person's inappropriate actions, I -will- do what I can to ameliorate the damage, for the sake of our Household's reputation.

and I thought this thread was about me ..(sigh)

Maxwell67 -> RE: Pardon Me, you left your monkey (6/27/2009 5:11:16 PM)
-quick reply- I accept responsibility for everything and everyone I have control over, according to the extent of my control. I do not feel guilty, I just fix it or adapt. I always give credit where it is due, and I am not at all about blame. I believe in unconditional love and the forgiveness that goes with that. I believe that discipline is the state of being ready and willing to learn without impinging on the ability of others to do the same, and I expect and enforce discipline accordingly.
