Renita But not instead you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Of course not, but I think a boss should always be a role model for his employees ๐Ÿ™‚

Laura you do the job, it's employment even to yourself
someone else does the job for you, it's a business

and if both are true? if I do the job myself but hire someone to help me, which is it then?

icaasi

please introduce yourself in introduction ๐Ÿ™‚

Laura Only me

Let's assume you had a sister, would she automatically have to wear a belt or is that always an individual decision?

Tasha Rings that allow things to be attached? No (yay!)

then you don't need to worry about thighbands ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Tasha

congratulations, you have achieved something great ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I think continuing to wear it outside the house is the absolute maximum, especially when you consider the context that your sister is currently not wearing a belt at home either.
If there are further discussions, you should make your position clear. But also accept your parents' opinion on the subject. I think mutual understanding is the best solution if you want to continue living with your parents.

    Angelina if I do the job myself but hire someone to help me, which is it then?

    Business, because you could always hand your work to your employees if needed

    Laura And didn't put back since then?

    We went out today with my parents and my sister for - mainly - shopping. My dad told me the belt wasn't needed as they would be close to me. They were, always either my mum or dad were along with me and my sister.

    Sasha Should feel pretty proud of yourself

    I do feel I achieved something I've wanted. Not everything I wanted but good progress

    Angelina But also accept your parents' opinion on the subject

    Thier opinion would be to he belted at home which is not what I'm looking to be in again.

    Just a day out the belt and I'm already happier. Would be hard to go back in.

    Angelina mutual understanding

    I guess yeah.

      Angelina But also accept your parents' opinion on the subject.

      Disagree of course

      Angelina think mutual understanding is the best solution if you want to continue living with your parents

      They will not send her away. It would be suicidal. Than for the rest you know my position, so useless to discuss it again

        Tasha Concratulation to Stand Up for yourself.
        Have you thought about setting yourself a schedule for your me-time?
        It would help you not to fall back into old habits. For example, once a month or on every Sunday.

          Joh Have you thought about setting yourself a schedule for your me-time?

          Currently I've not messed around too much, but yes some sort of a semi rigid seems probably for the better.

          • Joh replied to this.

            Tasha
            I know a women who want to stay cast but not without it until heir wedding. Every last Sunday of the month she is without her belt and then has her me-time.
            The other time she wears her belt. She says it is less hard and no temptation to cheat

              Tasha My mum unlocked and took it away

              Congratulations. I always fail in it because talk with the belt on ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

              Laura You have missed my irony. Since @Renita can't get free from her belt by moving out she should move in

              It's not as much ironical as you think. If I moved in, I wouldn't wear the belt when we are both home.

              Tasha Just a day out the belt and I'm already happier

              It's more than a day now.

              Tasha Would be hard to go back in

              When is it planned to be?

                Renita Congratulations. I always fail in it because talk with the belt on ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                Break it. So you can talk without the belt on. Breaking the lock is not so hard. Pretty easy actually because it is very small

                Or when you are opened refuse to get back and talk with her while unbelted.

                Joh well I had worked out a deal like that before, I also mentioned it on the fourm somewhere.

                For me it didn't really work out, probably because of my sister being out, I having the possibility to get out of the belt fully, and emotions

                • Joh replied to this.

                  Renita When is it planned to be?

                  Like when going outside or when I'm left alone at home. Or if I decide to dumb things, maybe they put the belt on me. But I don't think I'll do dumb stuff.

                    Tasha For me it didn't really work out, probably because of my sister being out, I having the possibility to get out of the belt fully, and emotions

                    Sorry, I don't get it.

                      youdontknowme Now I imagine you bringing a boy home and asking for the key with him around...

                      But she is unbelted at home, just need to find an excuse for him ๐Ÿ˜‚

                      youdontknowme I'm not that stupid haha. If I dare ask that there will be a huge commotion at the home.

                      Joh Sorry, I don't get it.

                      I was promised monthly unlocking before, I remember posting it here.

                      Aside:
                      And I've been very busy and will be this week.

                      Milord Disagree of course

                      please read again, i said accept the opinion of the parents and not follow the opinion

                        Milord and i disagree on accepting their opinion.

                        hey, it's nothing different than what I often do to you here. I don't agree with you on some points, but I accept your opinion and try to understand it. @Tasha should do nothing different either.

                          Angelina

                          Maybe we give a different meaning to the word โ€œacceptingโ€. I donโ€™t accept opinion I disagree with. I respect the right to express them, but I donโ€™t respect the idea per se if for me itโ€™s completely wrong. I normally give a lot of explanation on why I donโ€™t accept them.

                          So in my opinion accepting is recognising that the idea is valid, even if I disagree on it
                          For example I accept the idea @Ines being belted. Do I think she should? No. But I accept she want this and happy about it.

                          Hope the example clarify my position.

                            Milord That approach works well when in a situation where the ideas themselves are primary (like this forum). However, when trying to navigate a personal relationship we sometimes need to accept and work around unreasonable and/or irrational ideas.

                            To use Tasha's situation as an example, if she completely disregards her parents' opinion it will probably damage the relationship. Thad doesn't mean she has to do what they want all the time, but at least take their opinion into consideration and show them that she takes it seriously and they are more likely to accept a compromise she is willing to make.
