Honestly, I have more of an issue with him actually having like 6 kids by 4 different women (those figures aren't correct but I remember reading that he's got a few baby mamas).

There's other ways to teach a kid than a good ass-whoopin'.
Like i said, maybe i'm just lucky, but i find that approaching the situation like he's a man, and treating your boy like he has the maturity to understand the conversation he's about to have, gets the point across better.
He realizes he ****ed up. He realizes he's going to be punished. But he also walks away with the positivity of knowing that his fate is in his own hands.
That's not to say i don't do my share of raising my voice, expressing anger/disappointment and throwing out some, "you're gonna get your ass kicked if you keep that shit up" threats.
Violent, physical pain just isn't necessary. The fear/threat of is generally enough.
Idk, maybe i'm just lucky and my kid is just wired well enough to not need bruises and blood to get the point.
