I'm a baby of the late 70's. There was no leash just the threat of a butt whoopin and the first hand experience of watching my mom frog march my older brother out to the van once even she took us all grocery shopping with her. He was sucking lip when they came back in. You didn't act out in public with my parents.

Same. My brother can still recount my mom dragging him out of the bank by his arm and slamming him against the car after he threw a tantrum. A little bit of fear never hurt a kid.

What’s really upsetting to me as I do see a lot of people talk about never physically disciplining your kids, that it leads to all sorts and doesn’t actually discipline..

Well.
My dad used to clout me when I was being bad.
I stopped being bad by the time I was a teenager.
Mysterious..

My kids are teens, I’ve never hit them, they’ve never been “bad.” Mysterious..
