Maybe my memory is failing me, though I don't think it is

I just can't remember my childhood being filled with howling hysterics and endless tantrums (though it is true that my sister was responsible for quite a bit of that). Is it really just us or does anyone else have at least one if not two, three, four or five dinners a week that involve one or both children devolving into horrible screaming fits of rage and recriminations?

we don't do "dinner" but if we did that's what we'd have (which is why we don't do it. I have low tolerance. family time. meh. It's a myth)

You know why you don't remember it? Your parents would have beat your ass, that's why.

I don't know if my parents would have beat my ass -- they did beat my sister's, though. As a child she managed to get every adult who had never spanked a child to spank her, like it was some sort of personal challenge thrust upon her.
