Weird, I heard that exact thing.

Did older generations go to work and tell each other "my kid was crying because of x. I told him to quit crying or I would give him something to cry about," then have a nice laugh? 

Or was this phrase used on television?

Idk, all I know is that hitting a child won't make them cry any less.
