[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a lot of screaming in my house growing up. My parents brought out the worst in each other. My sister and I would huddle in a corner, afraid to be seen and become the target of the screaming. It was a relief when my dad finally left.

So far I haven't yelled at my 2 year old. She's a good kid, and I find it more effective to get more quiet, almost to the point of a whisper, when she's misbehaving and I want her to listen.

I admit that I've yelled at my husband a couple times over the past year, but it's when he endangers our child, like the time he was driving her around without the car seat strapped.

It makes me very uncomfortable when my friends yell at their kids. I have one friend that I'll meet one on one, but not for play dates with our kids because she's constantly yelling and micromanaging. [/quote]

My husband drops the ball so much sometimes I yell. But I have no recourse but divorce. I just hope we get out before there is a serious accident or neglectful mistake.[/quote]
