Adults still disciplined by their parents?

We lived with my ex's parents when I was going to college. They were very nice and very serious about members of the household honoring the house rules. Violations of the house rules resulted in firm old-fashioned discipline. His mom was also disciplined for disobedience etc. They were a very loving couple and I was happy to live under the house rules even though I was punished for violations. His mom skillfully used a wooden paddle and his dad masterfully used a leather strap to apply discipline. I wrote a pinned post about the experience... Birdie
