Why does my dad slap my ass

[Jaylin]

When I get up after my dad was done brushing my hair sometimes he would slap my ass and 5 mins ago he did it when I got up from the couch and I'm tbh done pf him doing it can y'all tell me why he does it????

No idea.

It could range from the (Postive) “Scoot! Off with you!” friendly notice that you’re done / “Go get ‘em tiger! / Good game!” cheerful acknowledgment of your presence & gesture of respect / “Gotcha! Too slow!” Deliberately playful thing… to (Neutral) a completely unconscious gesture, on par with countless other unconscious gestures, like looking up when you enter a room, or clasping your hand/forearm/shoulder (ruffling hair, kisses, hugs, winks, shoulder bumps, etc.) in greeting, or anything else that denotes you’re in XYZ social circle where ABC gestures simply happen as an ongoing call/response… to (Negative) a deliberate extension of abuse, disrespect, intimidation, ownership, etc.

So whether the act itself is positive, neutral, or negative would need context; motives even more so.

Have you asked him why he does this? And...Did you already tell him straightforward, that you'd really prefer him not to slap your behind anymore? I told this my dad, when I was about 12 yeara of age, even though it really had no sexual connotation. He never ever did it again...
