I got ass whoopins when i was a kid, and i deserved it.
I think there's a difference in peoples mind when they associate ass whoopins with straight out beating your kid, I would never beat my kid, but i'll whoop his ass if need be.
I turned out pretty okay, work for myself, help out the community when im not fucking it up, love and respect my mother unconditionally.
My brother never got his ass whooped, he's 17, 1 kid already, not working, being a fuck up.
