I was once an expert on parenting, with brilliant clarity on all topics...

...and then I had children.

I seem to know very little about parenting now that I'm experiencing it.

and I've known my future stepchildren for 6 years. Creating this criteria is stupid in the first place, especially when you don't know about the people you're talking to.

A literal a$$ whoopin? A spanking? A slap in the face that causes bruises and scratches?

 
We got the belt when we were a$$hole$. My sister holds the house record...17 lashings with the belt.

I don't remember the most I ever got.

We also got the wooden spoon but that really wasn't that bad.

 
There were many times where me and my brothers were complete a$$hole$ to my mom. She could handle it well until we would go too far and my dad would get involved. Once my dad got involved we knew we were in trouble.

 
Are you trying to say your experiences as a child are relevant? Or is it only people with biological children whose own childhood experiences are relevant? Just trying to figure out what the rules are.

Did you ever get slapped or punched in the face by your dad? Did it cause bruises?

People are mentioning a$$ whoopings and lashes. Are they rquating it with getting slapped in the face? They aren't the same thing.

No it isn't. I wouldn't have asked if it was. If I said I kicked someone's a$$, it means I beat them up. Not literally kicked their a$$. I'm not sure on the a$$ whoopin phrase.

Yep and yep...

If I remember correctly I was punched/slapped by my dad for punching my brother in the head. The only mistake was doing it in front of my dad!

Have you ever been the head coach of a major division 1 football program?

According to WBAY-TV, other people present in the home at the time of the incident witnessed Green picking his daughter up but didn't witness him punching her. WBAY-TV reported that Green's wife told police that the daughter had talked about making a call to authorities so her father would get into trouble with the law.LINK

First, nobody in this thread is advocating that parents punch their children. Nobody. Spanking a child? Yeah, well, it seems like there are divided opinions on that issue.

Second, none of Ahman's family saw him punch her--except the daughter of course. And the daughter had talked (apparently beforehand) about calling the police to get him in trouble. Is is possible that Ahman might just be telling the truth?

The mere fact that someone is accused of something doesn't mean they are guilty. Perhaps people should remain more open minded about this until all the facts are in.
