Now vs Then
Today if your kid complains about something, you're supposed to stop and talk about their feelings.
When I was a kid, if a wild animal was attacking you, both you and the animal stopped when the adult in charge yelled, "what the he11 is going on?!?"
If the animal hadn't maimed you yet, you were supposed to "take care of it yourself!" If you whined about it, you would be so scared by the threat of the adult "giving you something to whine about," that you would grab a stick or a rock and chase the monster away!
