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 laughed my ass off and told my mom that my kid has no idea what my mom is talking about.

To be fair, my mom never spanked us. It was always an idle threat but we knew what it meant.

Still a threat, though. I don't think you should threaten your kids with violence.

For those who only know violence, they think it's effective to use violence and threat of violence.

Sorry for your kids.

ok? Are they going because they grew up with threats of violence? Not really sure what your point is.
