Karen found herself increasingly annoyed at the undercurrent of resistance that her mother, Marian, appeared to show to the little lady's dominance over Marian that arose from the mother's need for shelter and support. Karen's good friend Emily had put Karen in charge of Emily's own older sisters, Leslie and Linda, largely because Emily savored the feelings of helpless submission that their being subjected to Karen's whimsical dominance engendered. Both Karen and Emily were in their 20s, while Emily's sisters were 32 and 38, respectively, and Karen's mother, Marian, was in her late 40s.
Leslie and Linda were quite careful to follow Karen's commands—however annoying and even cruel—to the letter. If she told them they had to request her permission to use the toilet, they would do just that and calmly wait until she granted assent and do their business while she watched them. Or she might even make one of these women use a child's wooden potty on the living room floor in front of everyone who might be present.
Marion was another story altogether. It didn't seem to matter how often Karen demeaned her in front of the others or even subjected her to severe punishment in public. Marian now was often made by Karen to lift her little skirt and lower her little girl panties to receive a nasty caning from her daughter. And Karen had learned how to wield the fiendish instrument quite well. She laid on the strokes with a practiced hand and usually left a bottom that was her target with a gated pattern where she expertly crossed the strokes. The nasty-looking purple diamond marks where the lines crossed would remain obvious for weeks.
Emily especially enjoyed observing Karen's steady efforts to bring her recalcitrant parent under control. Karen made Marian wear short school-girlish skirts that barely covered her panties and when she was ordered to lift them, those tight little panties would soon be moved down in the other direction, exposing Marian's very mature pudendum. Unlike Leslie and Linda, Marian had been permitted to keep her plenteous pubic hair, mostly because Emily liked to watch an obviously mature woman being put through her paces by her diminutive but highly assertive daughter.
In keeping with the special punishments the two domes reserved for Marian (as well as for Emily's continued amusement), Karen's mom was required to wear an old-fashioned Kotex sanitary belt with tabbed napkin when she had her period. Karen would make her show her soiled napkin to the group each time she wanted to change it. Then Emily came up with the added humiliation of depriving Marian of panties on days when she was wearing the Kotex belt. This meant Marian would be exposed as wearing the belt if her little skirt flipped up—also, she had no protection against period accidents if they went past her napkin or if the napkin moved around between her legs.
Emily's friend, Maria, who was a seamstress, came by one night when Marian was being punished by Karen. Karen had made Marian flip up her skirt, lower her little panties, and expose her late-40s figure, namely her large rear, to everyone as Karen spanked her. Maria commented to Emily on how arousing it was to see the mature Marian get spanked like that, and especially when her pubic hair was on view.
"I can make her a belt she would wear when she isn't on her period," Maria told Emily, who later mentioned this to Karen. Emily asked Maria what she had in mind and the seamstress told her that among the leather items she had been asked to make recently was a leather chastity belt. The ones Maria had sewn had two slit openings for the obvious bodily functions. "But I make them so you—Karen, say, for Marian—can close those slits and then the woman wearing the belt has to ask permission for them to be opened so she can do her business," Maria grinned as she told Emily about the creation.
The next day Maria was asked to return to measure Marian. This process was quite demeaning because Maria asked Karen to use the tape measure to determine how long Marian's labia were and the distance between the vaginal and anal openings. The girls had not told Marian what it was she was being measured for, so the older woman was clearly worried.
"Miss Karen, have I done something naughty that you are doing this to me?" she plaintively asked her dominating daughter.
Karen laughed and told her she just needed a lot more training until she would learn to be properly subservient. Marian blushed when Emily asked her when she expected her next period, in front of Maria. Karen snapped that she had better answer Emily's question if she knew what was good for her and brandished her little whip that she usually had in her handbag, ready for use whenever needed.
Emily thanked Karen for her response and praised her efforts to "civilize" Marian. She then told Maria to take the time needed to measure Linda and Leslie for similar belts "just in case I decide they might benefit from wearing them once I see how it works out for Marian."

It only took Maria several days to prepare the new leather belt for Marian to wear. When she came by to deliver it, Karen inspected it carefully and admired the seamstress's craftsmanship. "You've really managed to make such good use of the metal and the leather," she said to Maria with a smile. "You're such a wonderful domme to do work for," Maria responded to the diminutive Karen, who always warmed to praise.
