Fear is respect, and my children will respect me.
My dad, I love him to fucking bits, is an imposing 6'5, 300lbs. To this day, when he raises his voice, I listen.

+1 to that. My dad was a cop, he was a very intimidating man, we didn't fuck around. If we did we would get it, the belt was his favorite weapon. If we were driving he would stop the vehicle and cut a willow and whip us with it at the roadside, no mercy, no one said fuck all back then, everyone beat their kids. I turned out OK, other then my controlled alcoholism.
