[quote=Anonymous]My mom was a yeller and to this day, whenever I hear someone loudly calling out a name my first impulse is to look around to see if my mom is yelling for me. As I got older it became apparent that she lacked the tools to deal with difficult situations and always resorted to yelling. DH's family is the opposite to mine, voice level-wise, and we don't like to raise our voices. However, with a spirited 2-year old that's gone out the window. I once screamed at DS when he was playing with something that he's not supposed to and I can't get to him fast enough. My mom was nearby and saw the whole thing. Later she asked me if I thought my screaming was the reason DS prefers DH over me. I can't even. Oh the irony. [/quote]
