My dad made sure that my four brothers and three sisters and I behaved properly. It was total silence at the dinner table if dad said so. Seemed like everyday my brother would antagonize me to the point of me jumping on him with my fists flying. Results were always the same. Dad would get us both together...remove his belt...and let it fly. Looking back I know he had to...and I appreciate him for that.
There were a few times when my older brothers as teenagers (well built 200 lbers) disrespected him and paid the price.....so I never tried. We are all better people because he took no crap.
