Your father didn't spank you enough.
Perhaps, the older person is saying this because the teenager is not showing him the respect he thinks he deserves because of his age.

Your dad must have spared the rod
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spare-th...
spare the rod and spoil the child - said to mean that if you do not punish a child when they do something wrong, they will not learn what is right
https://madmikesamerica.com/2020/11/republicans-no-longer-be...
There is equally no doubt that Adam must have spared the rod with Cain and we all know how he turned out.
