Tough love, mean Daddy

I have a love hate relationship with my nature as a Daddy...not really, I don't honestly think one can love/hate something that is intrinsic to their nature.  However, there are times I really like being a Daddy and there are times when it is just flat rough.

I like to make my loved ones happy, I appreciate spoiling those around me as often as I can.  I enjoy having nice things, going to fun places, seeing the smiles and knowing I had a part in bringing them about...

But sometimes things are not so easy.  Some lessons are best learned by a swift face plant into the asphalt and while my natural desire to protect and nurture would have me instinctively reach my arm out to prevent the fall it does nothing but prolong the agony of the actual lesson that comes from the fall.  If one does not know how bad it hurts to be careless or not pay attention to where one is going they will not heed all the warning signs in the future.  While this may be a lame excuse for an analogy it is very true.

Some submissives, and I would venture people in general, cannot learn from other people's mistakes or detours away from life's journey.  They must work through it on their own.  When your submissive is a boy who has only relatively recently hit puberty, those lessons are simultaneously harder to learn, harder to watch, and more painful to go through.  It is quite difficult to come to terms with a world that you are only starting to realize is not all about you but that you definitely have something to contribute to.  

So at the risk of my own feelings, emotional roller coaster, and pain response to watching someone learn hard lessons, here is to tough love and sticking to your guns and making it out the other side stronger.

Here is to the real joy and trial and reward of being a Daddy.

Cheers,

Daddy Rose
