I have a large family, 11 children. When oyr family was smaller with only 4 or 5 and we went out to eat, strangers would walk up all the time and say something along the lines of "you have the best behaved kids, what's your secret?" I would always look them right in the eye and say, "We beat them." I didn't actually beat my kids, just discipline them, but I loved to watch the reaction I'd get. Everything from abject horror and recoil to "you have to, good for you." Now I take my grandkids to the grocery store or out to eat and I get told how well behaved my grandchildren are. I had to change my line to, "I beat their parents." The grandkids roll their eyes and groan, but I've found that embarrassing your grandkids is just as fun as embarrassing your kids. 🤣
