I loved your post concerning new year’s resolutions. You come across like an Ivy League MBA when you say “It’s important to be specific and to identify the steps to achieve your goals.” One of my mantras from the business world that I apply in my FLM is “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”. All employees at work have specific objectives – why shouldn’t my submissive husband?

So, I set out to specifically define what I wanted when David cleaned the living room. Or what I expected when ‘cleaning the bathroom’ was on David’s agenda. Same thing for ironing, laundry, car care and so on. Mother developed the standards and trained David in each one. David was given a pink covered journal to write down the specifics of each task. Mother walked him around the living room, for example, calling out each area of concern and what was entailed and checking it off his list. After his initial training Mother stood over him twice more, making comments or corrections and allowing David to ask questions. I have to stop here and address male fantasies – NO mother is NOT standing over David wearing a mini dress with fishnet pantyhose – this is all about work, not about male fantasies.

Chores are divided into four categories – spring cleaning, party, mid-week, and refresh. Spring cleaning is the most intense, it’s done in spring, of course, but also in getting ready for the winter holidays. At my direction spring cleaning might be done as many as four times a year and includes heavy tasks such as cleaning and rehanging drapes, deep cleaning carpets, polishing silverware, moving furniture, etc. Party entails cleaning after entertaining visitors – dusting, vacuuming, spot cleaning the rugs for spills, etc. Freshen is light dusting, vacuuming, sanitizing the bathrooms, etc.

David has measures for each assigned task. If he works to his pink book punishment is unlikely. However, if he doesn’t match expectations there can and will be consequences. A few weeks ago David questioned Mother when she critiqued his cleaning of the family room. David was more questioning than being insubordinate but it required a response and mother gave it to him. She took two boxes of cereal and scattered their contents far and wide about the family room for David to clean. David learned a lesson that he soon won’t forget.

David has to wear a feminine apron while doing chores, whether at home or when cleaning at a girlfriend’s home, or whether we have visitors. When ladies visit, David’s focus is on serving them and then getting back to his chores Some time back two of my girlfriends dropped in while David was cleaning. One of the women commented, “WOW, Id love to have a guy around to clean my place. within minutes David had two more ladies to clean for. He spends one morning a week housekeeping for these two ladies.

The bottom line here is that women will get what they want only when they take the time to lay things out for their hubby and hold him to them. And David? He loves his submissive role and readily admits that he’s “living the dream”
