Hi Sarah811 Sorry to hear that you will toil for dressing time. But grandchildren are a pleasure to have and spoil rotten. If a little girl you can buy her clothes and dolls. If a little boy scalectrix or remote cars. But yes it is hard not being able to dress. You need to find a support group where you can go to meets and dress with other like minded person. Coleen

Well for me the last few weeks have been challenging! With the kids working I got some time to dress, especially if they were on evenings/nights and the same shift. However that all changed as my youngest daughter told us she is pregnant! That meant she has to work days and is often on a different shift to my son (they are twins). With that comes the fact that there is almost always one of them in the house, and once the baby comes (April) I am unlikely to have much time as Sarah! It also looks like the room I currently use as an office/computer room will have to be turned into a bedroom and I will not have anywhere to work from home, or any privacy!

That’s what we do ‘just in case’😱

Hey Davina, don’t forget to‘accidentally’ leave the keys in the locked door😁👍

An hour is better than nothing I should have 5 or 6 hours Monday when kids at school.

Rachel has turned up for a visit this afternoon. OMG missed her so much

Mad isn't it me and Esme out now and having a drink and its triggered me talking about Davina.. I'll give you advice I need to take myself if you need to dress and have opportunity do it. Be once to have a chat some time about all this ✊

Checking in as was asked last night why I’ve not been involved in this conversation. Part of the reason is been so stressed with work and like Davina no chance to dress at home, even the couple of chances I’ve had I’ve not taken. Got to the stage last week when I wondered why do I do this and is it worth it. I’ve got a loving wife who knows about and is happy with Rachel we go out together as girl friends but it just got to breaking point that I had to say sorry for the moods I was in.

Hello! Just checking in.

I must say I'm always surprised that there aren't more girls/ partners contributing. Mind you, I often find that whilst I'll read a thread with interest, when it comes to contributing my thoughts, I'll begin typing and realise I have nothing further to add of any validity! 😁

I have to say that Rachel also has fabulous legs 😍

Well we do spend a lot of time admiring ourselves.. I'm forever getting up when working from home and going to the full length mirror in the passage oggling my legs lol

I’m liking your turning it into a positive 😂

There's a mirror or two I can admire myself lol

Or lock yourself in the bathroom and say you have the shits! 🤣

Sometimes you gotta take the risk and leave the keys in the back of the door ‘just in case’!

Oh Davina, I feel for you - don’t you just hate when other people affect your life 😡🤬

We can share a joke about my dressing (a private one) but I think with the pandemic and hardly dressing and rarely seeing me dressed like I said my regression putting off dressing as I've done again today due to an emergency in work 🤬 I may be wrong but think Esme's regressed a little too only gleening this from body language she may tell me nothing changed and not to be stupid.. Monday I'm of work and will be dressing and we'll be able to talk although she'll be working from home. She's pinched some dresses back and has asked me if I have any tights she can borrow in the past lol.. Pity we're not the same shoe size as she just bought some nice heels for Xmas do lol.

I think the main thing for an accepting couple is try to make cross dressing a positive thing you share and a fun thing if possible.

We've had lots of negotiation from bringing up I wanted a wig, dressing when Esme was out only, her wanting to know if I'm dressed so she can text if coming home and I leave no evidence, dressing working from home or upstairs her not seeing me, buying things for Davina, having discarded dresses and lingerie Esme sorted out to get rid (why I have so much to now sort myself), to her meeting Davina and triggering girls nights in, Esme picking me a better wig, me dressing when away with work in hotels, my blog and this Forum asking Esme to read the blog and partner me in this forum to help other t girls and wivea (she couldn't get into it though has added some comments here) to going out in London together. So moving boundaries again meeting another Couple in the know.. We do tend to push the boundaries once we get our foot in the door and I think all we can do as Tgirls / Cross dressers is ask the question and legitimately a wife or GF should say no if they think something a step too far.. I think though meeting as couples not dressed but both couples knowing about cross dressing for a drink or coffee is a healthy thing especially as the wives can compare notes and concerns and take the mik out of us tgirls if required lol.

I suppose I’m one that has “gone quiet”. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up the intensity and you settle into the ‘normal you’ Sorry.
