+1. Kids often feel they can’t or shouldn’t tell a parent to knock it off. Buy you daughters internalize the message that if someone touches them in a way that makes them uncomfortable, they should make a fuss if it’s “just” dad being dad, or boys being boys, “someone being playful”. Women often freeze and don’t speak up when they should because they have had years of stuff like this. I know that if someone pops my 16 year old DD’s butt and she doesn’t like it, she can always tell the person to cut it out— dad, an uncle, a boy at school, a boss down the road. She shouldn’t have to ask herself if this is one of those instances where she has to “keep sweet”. Because it’s her body and she decides who touches her and how. |
Mouth kissing isn't inappropriate. You've just somehow sexualized it in your mind. Prude Americans...

Unless momma was sexually abused by her father, I think she's nuts. |
No, mom probably accused him of abusing his daughters and he rightfully said she's crazy. |

If anyone outside of my husband slapped my butt I would slap their cheek or their hand immediately.
He is telling your daughter with his action that the behavior is okay from a man and someone that is an authority. Tell the girls they have a right to slap his hand away. Teach them this: I am the boss of my body, and no one else’s. |
This. He's been doing it for years and NOW you're noticing? Get a grip, OP. |
| If my dad has done this to me as a teenager-20 year old, I would have hated it but also would have felt uncomfortable telling him to stop. Many teenagers don’t feel confident enough to say how they really feel about things and also may think this behavior is normal. |
Or Trump touching Ivanka lots of those photos it’s creepy. Or Trump and his new DNA sample for rape. Of wait he actually has to give samples twice because two people are accusing him of RAPE. #trumpvirus2020 |

Tell him to keep his hands to himself. Not acceptable period,
And you start slapping his but every single time he walks in a room see how he likes it. Not ok! |
Ugh my grandfather kisses like that and makes a big deal when you won't. I was finally the first person to be like , no I hate that when I was in my 20s. I think it's fine if ALL people in a family want to kiss like that but take the lead on the person who is getting the kiss to see what they want. And no I don't come from a cold family. We are Italian and kiss literally to say hello when you just saw the person 5 hours ago |
This! |
| Well, take a photo of him doing it and send it to his friends and colleagues. If he’s right that it’s fine, he’ll be ok with you doing this. |
| That would make so uncomfortable as a young female. |
The butt slapping has stopped now that I'm grown and married, but the poking continues. I'm 30 years old, stop trying to tickle me! |
| Completely inappropriate. I would say disturbing |
