I consider myself a relatively bratty sub.  For my Sir and I...that means I am playful, and give him, within the bonds of play, an excuse to "punish" me.  While I know many find the concept of play punishment to be silly or idiotic, we enjoy it.
For example, I may disregard an order, when I sense he is in the mood for me to do so.  I will go wide-eyed, and shake my head, and maybe giggle.  This always leads to rough and tumble fun time.
It's about knowing when it is and when it is not acceptable.  If I act bratty, and he calls me on it and tells me he is not in the mood, I change, and do what he asked.  I could not be with a dominant that I could not have this sense of playfulness around.  I enjoy being physically overtaken, and he enjoys physically forcing my submission at times.  It's just our way.

Being playful is fine, but being a brat is disrespectful. It all depends on how folks define the two.

I like sarcasm. I think it shows a quick wit and and engaging mind. Now, brattiness, not so much, unless it is in the context of playfulness. Otherwise it is just immature self-centric behavior.

No. Whatever it is that you have expressed where I can see it (namely, here on collarme), it has not been something that would meet my definitions of "bratty and sarcastic". How you describe yourself is up to you and what you may do in venues I cannot see is... well.. invisible to me. But I don't associate the words "bratty" and "sarcastic" with what I've read of you.

I am well aware that some people imbue different meanings in those words than I do. If you see "bratty" more along the lines of what I'd call "playful" then it's just a semantics gap and has nothing to do with you or me.

what i want to know is whats the difference between having a spirited personality and opinions of youre own and brattyness. someone mentioned 'doormat' but ive never met a doormat ever - i think the thought that you cant be submissive and express youreself is silly, but there are ways of expressing youreself that are either respectful or rude, which is oversimplifying it i know, but basically thats the bottom line.

THAT is my point. Sarcasism, brattiness, playfulness, ect are based on personalal perceptions and judgements. So what is bratty to you or sarcastic to you or even the OP isn't to others. And I when I speak of me as a brat it is me being playful, like poking at EDQ2's ribs or stealing his boxers when he is trying to get ready to go back to work or things of that naturel. Lol
