The axiom of, "Wait until your father gets home," is a transferal of rage to a beta vessel mindlessly heeding the demands of a tyrannical mother/wife. Dad gets home from work, fuming wife demands he punish the child, dad dutifully follows orders. The man is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't (would woman who demands her husband hit her child idly step aside at his refusal? Of course not, she's likely to attack him as well)
