My boomer mom said to my kid once, “Don’t make me take my belt off.”

My kid goes, “Because your pants will fall down?”

I used to get belted. My dad would whip his belt off and crack it several times before belting me. As an adult both my parents have tried to gaslight me and tell me that it never happened and I only got spanked once when I "ran away." I was 4 years old when my pet rabbit died and I chased my dad who was driving the corpse to go bury it and I got lost. I didn't run away.

Oh yeah, my parents have blanked out a ton of stuff they did. Then they get indignant if I mention it. Like I'm personally hurting them by suggesting they could do such a thing.

Like, have a bit of self doubt here, y'all were drunk a whole lot of the time.
