[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]My husband's mother was a yeller, but otherwise a very loving, involved, dedicated parent.  So occasionally he'll throw yelling fits and thinks nothing of it.[/b]  My father yelled when he was angry and I HATE when someone yells at me; at the same time, it's a bit of learned behavior so when I'm impatient I sometimes speak crossly and a little loudly (not yelling) at my child. It makes me cringe afterwards, so it's something I'm working on.  I think it really depends on the context of the yelling and the personality of the kids being yelled at; my husband wasn't affected, but I was.[/quote]

I wrote below---and I think this describes me.  However, I think it also effects children differently and I believe some of it is innate personality.  I don't see my older son ever being a yeller.  He is calm, cool and collected like his dad...also very tender and sensitive.  Little brother is a different story.  His Irish/Italian from my side is definitely more dominant than the German/stoicness on the paternal side.  From 2 on he would stomp around blowing hot and cold and have some really funny tantrums.  However, it's all over in minutes and then he's all lovey-dovey.  Thats my M-O too...some of us don't keep it bottled up...we blow loud and quick and then are all better.  Ironically, we are supposed to live longer than those bottling up all of those emotions.[/quote]
