[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all about context.  I yell sometimes, but I also shower my kids with love, am very attentive, fun, ask lots of questions and we all have good relationships.  You can also have an environment where everyone is always tense and anxious lest they upset the abuser - that is not the dynamic in our home.  I know the yelling isn’t great but my kids feel safe with me, are open, can (and do) disagree and we have an overall happy home.  That said, I really dislike yelling and apologize afterward, and yell less now than I used to.  I know it doesn’t help anything.

However, if it’s something that you really dislike or find upsetting, it’s something you should talk with your husband about.  Families evolve and bad behaviors can be phased out if the will and awareness are there.[/quote]

I think you are a bit self-delusional that your yelling isn’t hurting your kids. Some kids in abusive environments become charming people pleasers who contort themselves to deliver the loving visage their (yeller) parent demands.

Please get therapy before you found yourself with a yeller for a son or daughter in law.[/quote]
