When I was younger, I used to get an ass whooping for doing anything my parents didn't like. At a certain age, however, they stopped doing that(10/11). All my somali friends have similar stories. This made us talk about if we would spank our children. There was a clear split between the boys and the girls; with most girls saying they would never parent the same way their's did. What do you guys think? Should hitting a child ever be okay?
