Where's the respect?

[texas_jack]

Question: Is it possible to brat in a respectful way? Or is bratting someone, by it's very nature, disrespectful? Where does one draw the line? When does playful bratting become annoying disrespect? and who decides Where and when? Can one brat without BEING a brat? What are we teaching the young people who are just starting out in this lifestyle? That the best, quickest and/or funnest way to get the spanking they desire is to act like a brat? Don't get me wrong here. I feel that if a person is a brat then they should be the best brat they CAN be. But what if a person isn't really a brat but a potential submissive or a potential slave who doesn't know any other way to get what he/she needs? Are submissive, or slave, and brat mutually exclusive? Or can one be both? or all three? I've thought about this question alot and I would love to hear your opinions.
