Daddy Doms and Little Girls

[Flaming_Redhead]

My Daddy and I were having a discussion about BDSM relationship dynamics. He asked me what role I had in mind. Right away, I told him I'm a little girl, though recently I had gotten confused as to whether little girls are considered submissive or a category all their own, but I'm also a switch. He informed me that he considers little girls to be slaves. For those of you who "know" me, you can imagine the shock and horror this little tidbit of information brought about in my mind. I immediately told him that I was definitely not a slave and that, in fact, some people don't even recognize me as truly submissive, which probably isn't a good thing to tell a potential dominant partner. *cof cof*

Daddy calmly explained that I could be his slave/little girl and Mistress of the house with a service slave of my own. Of course, I would still be accountable to him even in the presence of my own slave. Needless to say, I was taken aback. He went on to say that a Master/slave relationship can be whatever the couple want to make of it. I don't have to be treated as subhuman. I understood that part, though I was still very leery of the idea of being a slave for some reason. What I still didn't understand was why he views little girls as slaves.

Yesterday, it finally came to me, and Daddy was proud of me for figuring it out all by myself. In a parent/child relationship, the child really has no say in anything. The child may want things and ask nicely or whine and beg, but ultimately, the parent has the final say. The type of relationship I've been seeking mirrors it exactly. I want to be taken care of and treated like a princess, but I also want to be told what to do and punished if I fail to comply. In fact, I already have a spanking waiting for me next time I visit him for failure to vacuum the mess I made before I left. *grins* I forgot. *tries to look all innocent and shit*

Anyway, for those of you who are in this particular type of dynamic, do you see yourself or your partner as a slave? Submissive? Something else entirely? Please also explain the reasoning behind the term you favor.
