I tested my dad 1 time at 15..I got out of the chair to confront him and he pushed me back in the chair..this happened 3 times. What i didnt realize in the moment was my dad was backing up each time. The 3rd time i stood up he lifted me off my feet and threw me about 6ft back into the chair. Needless to say I did not stand back up or test him ever again. He easily could have whooped me with his hands but did just enough to prove his point. I lost my dad 3yrs ago and I miss him every day. RIP to my hero.
Mike man, you had a REAL one. I think he understood what you were going through even if he never said it outright. He taught you a hell of a lot, while keeping you in line that specific way. Never letting it go too far, that takes some fine mastery of yourself to do. Do him proud man, do him proud.
You ain't lying, flicked my dad off once and he grabbed my finger, looked me dead in the eyes and said "I was gonna break it, but then I'd have to pay for it" 💀😅
LOL, my Boomer dad showed me his shotgun once, and where he stored it. Then he told me if I ever touched it he was going to break both my arms. I never touched that gun until after he died.
I’m a millennial with a silent generation dad. That’s about right. He never had to demand respect, his presence itself commanded it. I love my dad, awesome guy who taught me a lot of morals and ethics.
There’s a 60 year gap between the silent generation and the millennial generation. You’re saying your dad is old enough to have been born during WW1 and you grew up watching SpongeBob? Are you sure you got that right?
My dad was of the Greatest Generation. He'd been in the Pacific in WW2 when he was not much older than me, so when my teenage self, tested him once, he put me on the ground before I even saw it coming. It was so hard when 20 years later, that man who was so big and so strong needed me to help him get around. I miss him so much. My soldier son is the spitting image of my dad and carries my dad's name.
Grandpa fought in the pacific theater - Okinawa. I refused to get up for church one morning. BIG glass of ice cold water in my face. OMG My cries warmed me up tho. LOL
This Guys my dad is in hospice right now and I can’t bring myself to go wtf is wrong with me?? It’s like a mile from my house but I can’t see him… I dunno why I jus freeze up every time I get there then walk back to the car. I’m ashamed.

I understand he needs his diaper changed every few hours. I can’t bring myself to go 🤦♂️ I’m a f n a aren’t I?
I remember back in the early 80s when my oldest brother punched my dad in the face with three quick punches. My dad folded my brother in half with one punch to the belly (FYI, my dad is a Marine, Vietnam Fought in Khe Sanh during the hill fights) I remember my dad standing over him telling big brother you wanna take on the old man but you can’t take a punch! My dad is now 79 Years old. I’m a marine as well and I still wouldn’t challenge my dad! Thank you big brother for that valuable lesson that look like it hurt like hell! 🤣
I was raised by that generation and never challenged my dad. I knew better. As a Gen X I can relate to the video though - my motto has always been if you ask for it, you’re gonna get it. Dad taught the lesson - never start a fight - if you do you are in trouble when you get home. But never run from a fair fight someone starts - if you do, then you’ll be in more trouble when you get home - so learn to take care of yourself and don’t take crap from anyone.
My kids learned that my belt can in fact be removed and in the air before they could react. They learned that lesson one time and I never had to teach it again.
It's not the loud ones you have to worry about. It's the quiet ones, because you never know what might set them off. Quite does not mean weak. Oh, my stepfather was usually a calm happy man, drunk or sober. But if you somehow managed to make him mad, you'd live to regret it.
I believe wholeheartedly that children should have a healthy fear of their parents. The fear I had for my dad kept me from doing a LOT of stupid stuff when I was a teenager. I just kept thinking...What if Dad finds out? WWDD? I didn't want to find out. Don't get me wrong, I still did some stupid stuff, but I feel my dad still knew about them, and he let me learn from them on my own. I LOVE my dad unconditionally, as I know he loves me.
@@teresatucker3100 I always told my kids there would be times they would think, "Mom and Dad would kill me if (insert stupid thing)" and I told them to remember we likely would not actually unalive them, but it was a good thought anyway because it would help them decide what was worth the risk
We were more afraid of our parents than the police when I was growing up. My dad was a Korean War vet and Ike was president when I was born. He later became a Vietnam vet when I was in elementary school. One thing I found out about him was he slept with one eye half open and be snoring up a storm.
Yep same here. I remember a couple times my dad (Gen X) would tell people who were into the soft parenting type movements that "No, your kids need to be afraid of you" haha. Me and my brother and sister all turned out pretty good, so whatever he did worked lol
I got beat pretty consistently by the men in my mom’s life. I don’t remember but one or two of those whoopins. The ONE time my mom whooped my ass….i still remember what the casserole in the oven smelled like, that day. The thread count of the sheets on the bed I cried myself to sleep in, what time of day, what I was wearing… I’m telling ya, a mom whoopin hits different.
@NoLove0341 - I will bet anything that your mother is either Black or Hispanic. All of my white friends are terrified of their dad, but my Black and Hispanic friends all know that the parent you don’t want to piss off is your mother. While my Hispanic mother never hit me, I can say honestly that I’m one of the few people I know who can say that.
It’s true that the Silent Generation had a real presence in their kids lives. My Dad was in the Silent Generation, and I truly feared and revered him like the Lord himself until I turned 25 years old. Although my Dad never ever threatened or hurt any of us siblings in any way, ever. We never saw him drunk or under the influence of anything other than power and sheer will to his manhood, his country and as husband and father. Keep the good stuff rolling. ❤
Both of my parents were Silent Generation. Mom was the one who whipped us, Daddy? The man was a welder with ham hocks for hands. I've gotten hit twice by him, once in the back and once with a belt. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my back when I retired from the military...it was in the area I got hit at 13.
@ I’m sorry you were hit by the old man. My old man served in two wars. He was a devote Catholic. He was a towering figure. And had hands as big as a catcher’s mit. If he wanted to get someone’s attention, he would sit us down in his easy chair and talk in a very low voice with his face in your face. If one of us was a problem child, (teenagers) he would lecture us. Sometimes going on for two hours, until our eyes glazed over. Occasionally he’d pause to make sure we were paying attention. Unforgettable.
I like how the mom was behind the Gen X/Baby Boomer dad the whole time everything was going down and didn’t even flinch. Just kept on doing what she was doing. 😂
@@stevenburgess296right. I was wondering why he had the generations combined. Boomers are probably a little more old school and hands on with their approach then gen x. Gen x is the generation that introduced the whole 'being emotionally open' thing.
@@morelife6508I feel like the front half of GenX are basically Boomers, while those of us on the back half aren’t much different from Elder Millennials. There’s probably not an exact cutoff date, but I definitely see it with the Xers who are my age or younger versus the ones older than me.
Why we like that tho?? I become like the silent dad then the disbelief of disrespect kicks in ... then BAM!!! 70's babies are sumthin else lol I try to warn folk leave me alone...Gen X grew up throwing hands and getting away with it😂😂😂😂
I know! It’s crazy how he nailed the exact clothes my Silent Generation granddad wore! It’s a genuine shame the younger kids these days don’t know the Greatest Generation though because they are called that for a reason. I was blessed that my other set of grandparents were from then and they were AMAZING.
Lolol GenX dad here...soon as i saw pops over hear little mans convo, i knew dad wasnt going to say anything. Just stretch out, glove up, and proceed to asswhooping! Lolol. These are great man. Thank you for doing this
@@akhorahil6250This. If my Dad had caught me talking that way I wouldn’t have known about it for a week. I would have eventually woke up and wondered where that ringing noise was coming from and when we got a kaleidoscope ceiling.
Bro!!! The genX is my generation... if I could do a backflip off the couch, I would LOL. The background music and the gloves had me ready to rock my son and he didn't even do anything right now lol!
I'm a Boomer and both my parents were the Silent Generation. Dad once told me that a son will always try to take his dad. But if I tried, he would whoop my ass. I never tried to take dad but the day did come when I knew for a fact I could take him. That day was shortly after I moved back home after military service. Thing is dad also knew I could take him and admitted it but followed that up with respect your parents.
Right on! My dad was from the Silent Generation. There was only one time I challenged him. He said, "Let me talk to you a minute" and asked me to follow him into the garage. I got about 1 foot into the garage when I caught a punch right in my solar plexus that took me to ground gasping. I never doubted who was the man of the house after that. He loved me and he provided for me, but he didn't take any $hit from a little punk. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. RIP, dad...1933 - 2011.
Had a friend who’s younger brother (we’re Gen X) was smelling himself a little bit and got chesty with their father (who was a boomer) who was a green beret in Vietnam. Their father gave him one of those Bruce Lee punches to his chest & knocked him back about 6 feet. My friend said he was gasping for air but didn’t disrespect him again like that.
That's why we have these useless gangs Bloods and Crips terrorizing their neighborhoods because most didn't have no nonsense Dads who could kick some ass when they got out of line. They wouldn't be out and about being sperm donors and dropping out of school. Discipline starts at the crib as to whose in charge and the reins tighten when they start approaching their teen years. Proverbs 22:15 says "Folly is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will drive it far from him."

I remember when my dad(silent generation) told my oldest brother(18) that he was a grown man now and if he ever backtalked our mother he wouldn’t get punished, or grounded any more but he could expect this. And held up his fist. Then turned to my 16 1/2 year old brother and said that goes for you too. Don’t know why he thought he had to say that as mom was just as likely to bust us one anyway if we got mouthy. Probably because she was 5’4” and they were over 6’ like him.
@@ZOONGOZEEN lol you messing with the wrong women bro, get yourself a good one.

That's ride or die.
@@TheClassiiicsTVdumb question which is the silent generation? I've heard of all the others. Edit never mind. Google found it. The years before the greatest generation. Oh yeah that was not a group to f with.
As the proud daughter of a Silent Generation US Marine and Navy Sea Bee and best father I could have, I can verify that you don't even go for the practical joke.
gen x here. i mouthed off to my mom once in the kitchen, and she raised her hand to open the cabinet, and I flinched and ducked because I thought the hand was coming for me.
Straight up how my dad would have handled it being a part of the Silent Generation. I would have been ending the call wayyyyy before he stepped in the room. You did not want that heat 😂😂😂!!!!
I tested my Dad once, ONCE. I thought I was a big guy, talked smack, a couple expletives thrown in for good measure, said I wasn't going to be a live-in babysitter for my younger brother. I never even saw the man move. I woke up, about 6 feet from where I was standing, on the floor, on the opposite side of the coffee table, and it was now dark outside. I went upstairs, he was sitting in his recliner watching the news, never looked my direction, just said, " Your Mother needs you to watch your brother tomorrow after school, is that a problem?" I said "NO SIR, it's not!!!!!" I never, ever tested that man again! Lost him 8 years ago, makes me tear up even now typing this, damn I miss him.
I hit the floor as soon as the piano started playing in the background. Can't tell you how much I enjoy starting my day with you guys. I gotta watch this one again... ❤
I had a step dad for a while who, in the words of Eddie Griffin, “beat me out of the penitentiary”. I hated him but he did do me the favor of scaring me enough that I didn’t do the same shit my boys did to get them locked down. I went to the Marines, they went down for 7to 10.
Gen X here. My heart would skip a beat (fear) when I heard my silent generation dad came in through the front door after work . I would become quiet as a mouse. 😂😂
oh yes. when we heard his truck pull up all of us kids suddenly became scared stiff, quiet and suddenly helpful to my mom who was either cooking or cleaning.
My old man survived 7 landings in WWII. He killed a bad guy with one punch. When I was 25 and home on leave from the Army, he hit me with that same right cross. I ended up on my butt, 6' behind where I had been standing. It was a good thing that he had slowed down in the 30 years since the war. Most of the Dads that I grew up with were vets and could be dangerous especially when protecting family and friends. They did not tolerate disrespect.
I'm Gen X and my dad is a Boomer. We had one actual fight. I was 17, he was 35 (step dad, but he raised me). We messed one another up pretty good, but he was old and wise enough to fight "dirty" where as I was young enough to believe that fighting "dirty" was something only bad guys did. We both needed stitches. He had two cracked ribs. I needed a cast for a broken hand, blood removed from my eyelid because it was swollen so much it was putting pressure on my eyeball and ice for my nuts. It started because I was your typical teenager that thought I knew everything about everything. He pointed his finger in my face and told me to watch my tone. I shoved him. He smiled and said, "Anytime you're ready, son" and away I went. He definitely came out on top, but he still lets me know that it was the worst fight he'd ever been in. He let me give up gracefully after he crushed my testicles and didn't continue with the beat down he could have done at that point. Regardless, we both gained a new respect for one another and that was the day I stopped thinking of him as the dude that married my mom and started thinking of him as my dad. We talk all the time now, more than i talk to my mom and he gives me advice and is always willing to lend a helping hand when I have projects around the house. Dude stepped up and became the father of a horrible kid that didn't appreciate everything he did until I was nearly old enough to be called a man myself.
LOL. I’m GenX and you got pretty damn close. The only difference is that you took too long to initiate the ass-whoopin’. Most of us would’ve just walked up and said, “Oh, yeah?”, while we slapped the phone outta his hand while making contact with his head in one clean motion. My parents are the silent generation and they make you come to them to receive your ass-whoopin’, followed by some form of labor and a grounding. And we did, because if you make them wait any amount of time, the ass-whoopin’ would be doubled. Oh, and while they’re whoopin’ you, they’d be yelling, “Stop crying before I give you something to cry about!” I know this from experience. 🤣
I remember seeing a dude threaten his dad back then. We lived in a mixed white/black neighborhood, and all the parents on the block kinda shared responsibility of keeping the kids in line. Everybody had the greenlight to beat the brakes off of everybody else's kids. Y'know the drill. So, since I happened to be present when it happened and kinda laughed, I got my ass beat too. Rofl.
The silent ones...they do NOT fxck around. That why you found out early that they dont play that. The fear of god is already present in his demeanor, " oh snap, i gotta call you back." He didnt even have to say anything, and it was handled already
There is a fine line between fear and respect. Having had a father who was just fine with fear (I'm X end of Millennial by a year or two), I have learned to demand respect, without crossing into being feared by the kids. It is as much about the presence I have in a room as it is about acting any given way.
He said they were talking about how they wouldn't know where they would be without parents AND THE LORD. Only the silent generation would make these youth think of the Lord without saying a word 😆
Only ever been worried about one thing to do with my dad. I used to worry if I had disppointed him. He gets respect through his selfless care for others and his actions.
About age 6, heard my calm and usually quite dad say to my brother age about 17, '" I brought you into this world and I can take you out", my brother had done something unusually wrong. (My dad never had a problem with me} After that day he never had a bad problem with my bro either. I'm 68 now and miss my dad every single day.
Thanks for the reminder of my dearly departed Silent Generation Dad! That man used to put the fear of God in us kids just looking at us. He'll be gone 2 years next week, and your uncanny portrayal of him made me smile. Sure do miss that grumpy ol' codger! 😂🥰
Love the silent generation Dad's little grab at the belt buckle. One of those subtle signals that says "I can still whoop ass and I'm smelling some BS."
Growing up as a child of a Silent dad (and mama), I approve this message. You don't ever want to make sudden movements or say the wrong thing, no sir. 😁
I'm old enough to remember grabbing the door handle crazy and very gently closing it and only then after the door was closed, miming the fit I really wanted to throw and somehow mom could "feel" what was hidden and holler "WHAT WAS THAT? DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY???" Me meekly opens the door and whispers at a barely audible level, "... no ma'am..." because my mother would have killed me. And declared to every court that doing so was her right because she brought me into the world. My dad is just not somebody to play with. You won't see him coming... Edited to add: I know you didn't bring "the Lord" into it like He was gonna save you 🤣🤣🤣
My dad was a trained martial artist with multiple black belts. Was a ranch/farm raised Nebraska ranch boy with the full strength that came from that. He was also a cop on the force for 30 years, 15 of which he was a S.W.A.T. team leader along with being an instructor on hand to hand takedowns and weapons technique. I was NEVER stupid enough, not for one second, to think I could take him.

It’s true that the Silent Generation had a real presence in their kids lives. My Dad was in the Silent Generation, and I truly feared and revered him like the Lord himself until I turned 25 years old.
Although my Dad never ever threatened or hurt any of us siblings in any way, ever. We never saw him drunk or under the influence of anything other than power and sheer will to his manhood, his country and as husband and father.
Keep the good stuff rolling. ❤
✊🏾💯
Both of my parents were Silent Generation.
Mom was the one who whipped us, Daddy? The man was a welder with ham hocks for hands. I've gotten hit twice by him, once in the back and once with a belt. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my back when I retired from the military...it was in the area I got hit at 13.
@ I’m sorry you were hit by the old man.
My old man served in two wars. He was a devote Catholic. He was a towering figure. And had hands as big as a catcher’s mit. If he wanted to get someone’s attention, he would sit us down in his easy chair and talk in a very low voice with his face in your face. If one of us was a problem child, (teenagers) he would lecture us. Sometimes going on for two hours, until our eyes glazed over. Occasionally he’d pause to make sure we were paying attention. Unforgettable.
💯
@maryrudelich9000 Daddy rarely spoke; Mom was the disciplinarian.
So those two times were when I did something around him. I'm a daddy's girl.
I like how the mom was behind the Gen X/Baby Boomer dad the whole time everything was going down and didn’t even flinch. Just kept on doing what she was doing. 😂
😂😂😂
Ya’ll know a “Baby Boomer” are the children of the WW2 crowd? And Gen X are the children of Baby Boomers…. Right?
@@stevenburgess296right. I was wondering why he had the generations combined.
Boomers are probably a little more old school and hands on with their approach then gen x.
Gen x is the generation that introduced the whole 'being emotionally open' thing.
@@stevenburgess296Yup! Silent, Boomers and Gen X are so close 'cause we had our kids in our early 20's if not sooner for the Boomers and Silent.
@@morelife6508I feel like the front half of GenX are basically Boomers, while those of us on the back half aren’t much different from Elder Millennials. There’s probably not an exact cutoff date, but I definitely see it with the Xers who are my age or younger versus the ones older than me.
"AND the Lord!"

I know! It’s crazy how he nailed the exact clothes my Silent Generation granddad wore! It’s a genuine shame the younger kids these days don’t know the Greatest Generation though because they are called that for a reason. I was blessed that my other set of grandparents were from then and they were AMAZING.
✊🏾💯
That walk leaving the room, like checking his territory. Even the birds would stop singing when my dad walked around like that.
😂😂
Lolol GenX dad here...soon as i saw pops over hear little mans convo, i knew dad wasnt going to say anything. Just stretch out, glove up, and proceed to asswhooping! Lolol. These are great man. Thank you for doing this
Lmao!!
He's wearing gloves to protect his hands.
@@akhorahil6250This. If my Dad had caught me talking that way I wouldn’t have known about it for a week. I would have eventually woke up and wondered where that ringing noise was coming from and when we got a kaleidoscope ceiling.
Bro!!! The genX is my generation... if I could do a backflip off the couch, I would LOL. The background music and the gloves had me ready to rock my son and he didn't even do anything right now lol!
Lmao!!
right now...but being Gen X, you can always say it's for something he's going to do in the future... 😁
I'm a Boomer and both my parents were the Silent Generation. Dad once told me that a son will always try to take his dad. But if I tried, he would whoop my ass. I never tried to take dad but the day did come when I knew for a fact I could take him. That day was shortly after I moved back home after military service. Thing is dad also knew I could take him and admitted it but followed that up with respect your parents.
Right on! My dad was from the Silent Generation. There was only one time I challenged him. He said, "Let me talk to you a minute" and asked me to follow him into the garage. I got about 1 foot into the garage when I caught a punch right in my solar plexus that took me to ground gasping. I never doubted who was the man of the house after that. He loved me and he provided for me, but he didn't take any $hit from a little punk. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. RIP, dad...1933 - 2011.
Damn, that could've killed you. 😮
Lmao Gen X here and this is 100% accurate 😂👊🏾

Silent Gen dads coming with their own early detection system...cause if your still acting the fool when they arrive...that's on you. 🤔😵
Had a friend who’s younger brother (we’re Gen X) was smelling himself a little bit and got chesty with their father (who was a boomer) who was a green beret in Vietnam. Their father gave him one of those Bruce Lee punches to his chest & knocked him back about 6 feet. My friend said he was gasping for air but didn’t disrespect him again like that.
✊🏾✊🏾
That's why we have these useless gangs Bloods and Crips terrorizing their neighborhoods because most didn't have no nonsense Dads who could kick some ass when they got out of line. They wouldn't be out and about being sperm donors and dropping out of school. Discipline starts at the crib as to whose in charge and the reins tighten when they start approaching their teen years. Proverbs 22:15 says "Folly is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will drive it far from him."
GEN X BABY! But them keys on Silent Dad every time 😂😂😂😂😂

For my dad it wasn't his keys that jingled, it was the change in his pockets.

This is totally a Dad situation what she need to move for? All she has to say is baby don't kill him.
😂😂
I remember when my dad(silent generation) told my oldest brother(18) that he was a grown man now and if he ever backtalked our mother he wouldn’t get punished, or grounded any more but he could expect this. And held up his fist. Then turned to my 16 1/2 year old brother and said that goes for you too. Don’t know why he thought he had to say that as mom was just as likely to bust us one anyway if we got mouthy. Probably because she was 5’4” and they were over 6’ like him.

I tested my Dad once, ONCE. I thought I was a big guy, talked smack, a couple expletives thrown in for good measure, said I wasn't going to be a live-in babysitter for my younger brother. I never even saw the man move. I woke up, about 6 feet from where I was standing, on the floor, on the opposite side of the coffee table, and it was now dark outside. I went upstairs, he was sitting in his recliner watching the news, never looked my direction, just said, " Your Mother needs you to watch your brother tomorrow after school, is that a problem?" I said "NO SIR, it's not!!!!!" I never, ever tested that man again! Lost him 8 years ago, makes me tear up even now typing this, damn I miss him.
Yes, the Silent Dad, wait, I hear my dad’s keys. Silent Generation, hmmm, mmmm, the Best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boy them Gen X parents ready to catch a case
Facts!!
💯
✊🏾
Cases don’t bother us. Disrespectful kids do. 😂
😂😂
I had a step dad for a while who, in the words of Eddie Griffin, “beat me out of the penitentiary”. I hated him but he did do me the favor of scaring me enough that I didn’t do the same shit my boys did to get them locked down. I went to the Marines, they went down for 7to 10.
💯🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♂️
Gen X here. My heart would skip a beat (fear) when I heard my silent generation dad came in through the front door after work . I would become quiet as a mouse. 😂😂
😂😂
oh yes. when we heard his truck pull up all of us kids suddenly became scared stiff, quiet and suddenly helpful to my mom who was either cooking or cleaning.
My old man survived 7 landings in WWII. He killed a bad guy with one punch. When I was 25 and home on leave from the Army, he hit me with that same right cross. I ended up on my butt, 6' behind where I had been standing. It was a good thing that he had slowed down in the 30 years since the war. Most of the Dads that I grew up with were vets and could be dangerous especially when protecting family and friends. They did not tolerate disrespect.
I'm Gen X and my dad is a Boomer. We had one actual fight. I was 17, he was 35 (step dad, but he raised me). We messed one another up pretty good, but he was old and wise enough to fight "dirty" where as I was young enough to believe that fighting "dirty" was something only bad guys did. We both needed stitches. He had two cracked ribs. I needed a cast for a broken hand, blood removed from my eyelid because it was swollen so much it was putting pressure on my eyeball and ice for my nuts.
It started because I was your typical teenager that thought I knew everything about everything. He pointed his finger in my face and told me to watch my tone. I shoved him. He smiled and said, "Anytime you're ready, son" and away I went. He definitely came out on top, but he still lets me know that it was the worst fight he'd ever been in. He let me give up gracefully after he crushed my testicles and didn't continue with the beat down he could have done at that point.
Regardless, we both gained a new respect for one another and that was the day I stopped thinking of him as the dude that married my mom and started thinking of him as my dad. We talk all the time now, more than i talk to my mom and he gives me advice and is always willing to lend a helping hand when I have projects around the house. Dude stepped up and became the father of a horrible kid that didn't appreciate everything he did until I was nearly old enough to be called a man myself.
Silent Generation is Undefeated 😂

Feelin froggy, leap.
Used to tell my kids that. Nobody leapt😅😂
🤣😂
That Gen X swing was deadly. That boy is cooked
😂😂
LOL. I’m GenX and you got pretty damn close. The only difference is that you took too long to initiate the ass-whoopin’. Most of us would’ve just walked up and said, “Oh, yeah?”, while we slapped the phone outta his hand while making contact with his head in one clean motion. My parents are the silent generation and they make you come to them to receive your ass-whoopin’, followed by some form of labor and a grounding. And we did, because if you make them wait any amount of time, the ass-whoopin’ would be doubled. Oh, and while they’re whoopin’ you, they’d be yelling, “Stop crying before I give you something to cry about!” I know this from experience. 🤣
I remember seeing a dude threaten his dad back then. We lived in a mixed white/black neighborhood, and all the parents on the block kinda shared responsibility of keeping the kids in line. Everybody had the greenlight to beat the brakes off of everybody else's kids. Y'know the drill.
So, since I happened to be present when it happened and kinda laughed, I got my ass beat too. Rofl.
😂😂😂
As a baby boomer dad representation of us is spot on, where did we learn it, from the greatest generation dads that fought in WW2. Take no prisioners!

I love how he has the mannerisms down.
The silent ones...they do NOT fxck around. That why you found out early that they dont play that. The fear of god is already present in his demeanor, " oh snap, i gotta call you back." He didnt even have to say anything, and it was handled already
🤷🏾♂️🤷🏽♀️
There is a fine line between fear and respect. Having had a father who was just fine with fear (I'm X end of Millennial by a year or two), I have learned to demand respect, without crossing into being feared by the kids. It is as much about the presence I have in a room as it is about acting any given way.
He said they were talking about how they wouldn't know where they would be without parents AND THE LORD. Only the silent generation would make these youth think of the Lord without saying a word 😆
🤣
The silent dad came in looking stern af 😂
😂😂
Thank you baby Jesus for them keys!!
Right!!!
Only ever been worried about one thing to do with my dad. I used to worry if I had disppointed him. He gets respect through his selfless care for others and his actions.
amazing!!! love it!!! only thing missing from the silent dad was the crease in his pants!!😅😂😂😅😂😂😂
🤣🤣
About age 6, heard my calm and usually quite dad say to my brother age about 17, '" I brought you into this world and I can take you out", my brother had done something unusually wrong. (My dad never had a problem with me} After that day he never had a bad problem with my bro either. I'm 68 now and miss my dad every single day.
I always respected my dad, even when he pushed me across the room after stepping up to him defending my mom in our argument. Great moment.

Me too. We couldn't be more different.
Gen X here. Dad always told "Don't let 2 seconds of bravery fuck up the rest of your life"
I'm old enough to remember grabbing the door handle crazy and very gently closing it and only then after the door was closed, miming the fit I really wanted to throw and somehow mom could "feel" what was hidden and holler "WHAT WAS THAT? DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY???"
Me meekly opens the door and whispers at a barely audible level, "... no ma'am..." because my mother would have killed me. And declared to every court that doing so was her right because she brought me into the world. My dad is just not somebody to play with. You won't see him coming...
Edited to add: I know you didn't bring "the Lord" into it like He was gonna save you 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
My dad was a trained martial artist with multiple black belts. Was a ranch/farm raised Nebraska ranch boy with the full strength that came from that. He was also a cop on the force for 30 years, 15 of which he was a S.W.A.T. team leader along with being an instructor on hand to hand takedowns and weapons technique.
I was NEVER stupid enough, not for one second, to think I could take him.
