[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a yelling mother and I *hated* it. She often yelled at me about things that were beyond my control and often yelled at me to take out her own frustrations. She would give me a task as a test with no instruction on how to complete it and then yell at me mercilessly because I did it wrong. And as a child, I was absolutely powerless to get her to stop. She had an easy target to yell at to make herself feel better. As a consequence, I got very good at hiding my feelings and developed a very thick skin. I rarely get things wrong. I am very good at figuring out solutions to complex problems. I am very aware of this and I rarely ever yell at my own child. I am obviously human and nobody is perfect, but I usually don't raise my voice. And I am very careful not to burden my child with adult expectations of competence. [/quote]
