Control?

We are still trying out the whole, "ask for permission" thing.  At first it was going fine, then the wildchild came home for the weekend so although I asked, I knew there wouldn't be a spanking.

This week, I've asked and he's spanked once.  In my opinion, once is better than none.

Here's the dilemma. I have a whole routine before bed.  Part of that routine happens in the kitchen.  The second half happens in the bedroom and bathroom.  So I've been asking about getting ready for bed AFTER I do my kitchen stuff. (takiing meds and feeding cat) But before going to the bedroom.  But last night, I asked and he said he was going to warm my bottom.  I said ok, but I really have to pee.  Because I hadn't gone to the bedroom yet and that is where I do all my bathroom things, (peeing, brushing teeth, brushing hair) So I went and did those things and when I came out, he said never mind he didn't want to do it because he didn't like waiting for me.  Which made me cranky and happy at the same time....HA!

SO...we got into a discussion about when I should be asking if it's alright to get ready for bed.  His response is that he wants me to get EVERYTHING done, except getting into pjs and THEN ask.

My thought about this is that it seems silly to do the kitchen things, walk past him (most of the time he's on the computer or watching tv) do the bedroom things, come back out into the living room to ask if I can get into pjs.

Does that seem silly to you?

We discussed it and he didn't really back down, so I will do what he asks, but I had to wonder to myself, WHY?  Why is he making into such a hassle?  Could it just be that he wants that control and he wants me to do it, even if I think it's dumb?

Certainly it is not really that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.  But this is what I'm thinking about so there it is...

I still want to continue down this road.  It's kinda fun and kinda sexy.

I'll let you know how things pan out!
