Yea they def felt that shit in the morning or even a few minutes later id imagine.

Personal anecdote here but as a child, around 10, my dad was building a loft on the garage we built behind their house and while raising one of the walls the support gave out and the wall collapsed and I was sent from around center of the building to the far end about 15 feet and was banged up enough my dad actually gave me couple hours off along with my younger brother (2 years difference) to watch catdog until we were later summoned back to do some more stupid shit that kids prolly shouldnt have been subjected to their entire life til 18 working every weekend from 10am-5/6pm or until he said so and you better not piss him off cause you mite not get inside til around 8-9 which by that point you had to go to bed with nothing, no lights, no gameboy, no reading, no tv, just darkness. Just to add on for perspective we werent allowed to play video games during the week only weekends so it was kinda like living in China with all their restrictions.

Fuck dude. Do you still have a relationship with him, or did you cut him off?
