Yeah. Sounds right.
I was asking my coworker with two young boys around the same age and he said when I put on the “Batman voice” they stop immediately because they know punishment is coming.

Haha yeah, one of my sons slapped his mom in anger at maybe 3 years old, and the speed at which I grabbed his arm, lifted him off his feet, and pinned him against the wall while loudly saying "YOU DO NoT EVER HIT YOUR MOTHER AGAIN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" Seemed to work. 99% of the time I'm the goofy lovable dad, the kids know it's better to ask me about anything than the moms because I'm the fun one who's probably down for ridiculousness, but I'm pretty sure that one incident really drove home the "Dad could easily kill me if he wanted to" lol.
Never happened again, gotta draw those lines for kids and not back off.

Yeah, my kids only got 2 or 3 spankings each in their lives, and I made a point of never hitting them in anger Well, to be fair I lost my shit one time really early on and spanked my oldest because I was just DONE with a string of little things, and he really didn't deserve it, made me feel like I fucked up and so I made sure that never happened again. I probably threatened them with spankings 20+ times over the years, but they were really reserved for the big "you fucked up so bad you need to feel it" moments. I also feel like I lucked out because I could just be like "Time out, 5 minutes" and they would go stand in a corner facing the wall crying for 5 minutes, then apologize and be fine. I know some kids just say fuck that, make me!, but I never really had to deal with that.
All this talk of kids is making me happy to realize I only have about 4 years of Child Support left to pay on my oldest, and 6 on my youngest, not that there still won't be a billion costs when they are older, but at least I will be able to control where that money goes as opposed to "have a chunk of my income ex-wife, I trust you to spend it wisely - even though a massive problem in our marriage was your inability to not spend all the money!" haha. She's actually a lot better now that she actually has to manage her own finances, but still, I would be surprised if 20% of the support I give her each month could actually be traced to the kids.

I don’t recall ever seeing my father lose his temper, and the few times I was spanked he’d send me to the room to wait while he took time to decide the punishment… probably also for him to cool down.
I still shudder to think what he would have done had I struck my mother.

I think most kids growing up in the southeast were told to do this also. At least I was.

Same here. My Dad used to PW lock my BIOS and I wasn't smart enough at 12 to figure out how to flash it. If cell-phones were a thing back then it would've been simple, but if I couldn't access my computer, I didn't have access to the internet at all.
I can count on a couple fingers the times my dad actually laid hands on me, but he sure had the knack of putting the fear of god into us with expressions and body language. I seem to have inherited it as well. I haven't given physical feedback to my kids since they could talk, but I can crush their mood with a well-timed glare. Not the dad super power I necessarily wanted, but here we are...
I'm waiting for my pre-teen son to really cross a line and he'll discover the power of MAC address filtering.

My father was the most unruly and disobedient male child you could conceive of. He was the type that simply had zero fear of corporeal punishments and gave no shits if you beat him or whatever and would simply do it again. He told me once that in his mind it was like a transaction, you bought doing X with whatever beating you got for doing it. Which he never minded paying so doing it again was fine and he would if he felt like it.
Because of this he always assumed his son would be similar or worse. But I was mostly the opposite as I had no desire to get my ass beat over stupid shit. Which seemed to have perplexed him.
But from time to time he'd lay me out flat on the ground with a hand to the back of the head. He never really tried to restrict my computer time even though he disapproved of it. Consummate outdoors man that he was.

Thats not going to matter unless you take their phone and/or disable LTE at which point you might as well take it.

My mother did the same and I got away with finding the cable for a bit but then she learned to touch the PC to find out if it was hot or not when she got home to see if I had been using it.

are we supposed to know what opd is?
Here are the 2 most likely definitions I found.
ODP stands for Ouate de phoque. Translated to English, it means ''absorbent cotton of seal''. But it is pronounced the same way as ''what the fuck''. So ODP is kind of fench translation of WTF. It is cool to use 'ODP' when text messaging, instead of 'WTF'. ODP are you doing.

John often ODP's to better communicate with people outside the bathroom
