But our extended absence has her mother, "The Dowager Domme" in a manipulative funk.
Like a good daughter, Mistress called her on Saturday afternoon, after we returned from the ski mountain (we couldn't justify another lazy day!). After the call I heard the fall out:
"It clear she's pissed we are gone for so long, slave....all her friends are sick or dying, it could happen to us (i.e. her) anytime....a friend got shot in an unsafe neighborhood, she goes to work everyday in an unsafe neighborhood, we may all be healthy for now but that just means our luck will change sooner rather than later.... blah, blah, blah....."
I can see her now, sitting on her throne, pissed that I've stolen her little girl away to a remote time zone where she can't dote on her mommy. Why can't she take it out on her husband, Mistress's step father, rather than put her daughter on such a passive aggressive guilt trip?
"You spend more time with her than your sister does, Mistress, even though we go away from time to time. Why doesn't she take it out on her?"
"She claims [Molly's sister, who lives out of town] calls her multiple times a day....whereas I only call her once a week or so...."
"Do you believe that?"
"My sister says it isn't so...."
We had dinner last night with some friends who live in Oklahoma, and travel here often. Mistress was recounting these stories of Motherly manipulation. Our dinner companions shared some of their own.
"When my mother died I had to clean out her house.... I found two vibrators, a couple of pistols and an assault rifle", Jane recounted.
"The guns were loaded. I had to call for help from the Sheriff's office to make sure they were unloaded and safe", her husband added.
Well I guess it could be worse. The Dowager Domme could start packing heat. Although maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy her an Hitachi (if she doesn't have one already) to atone for Mistress's sins.
