We don't yell. I was taught (as was my brother) that yelling is for specific circumstances, like emergencies/getting someone's attention outside. But my brother didn't think my parents loved him because they wouldn't yell at him. What the heck? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51984 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:00:30 +0000 MegWag 51984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My immediate family are def not yellers... we're more "tense jaw of silence withdraw-ers". :)<br /> Now my mom's brother's family are def yellers and it has taken me years to get used to it. They just are louder than my family and I used to think people were mad all the time, but that's how they communicate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51942 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:25:29 +0000 mrsjyw 51942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're loud for sure. My dad's voice carries through everything. I can hear him having a cell phone conversation while I'm having a convo with my mom on her cell phone while standing in opp ends of the beauty warehouse they manage... LOL.</p> <p>I'm definitely the LOUD one in our relationship, but I don't yell and if I do - it's not out of love!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51936 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:22:06 +0000 Rubies 51936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad was a yeller and it was definitely NOT out of love. He yelled to instill fear and it worked...I'm STILL scared of my dad! LOL. The crazy funny thing is that he is a total mushball when it comes to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51820 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:18:22 +0000 tequiero21 51820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hm. i don't consider my family yellers and i don't think it = love. but i can see myself yelling at my kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51769 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:12:11 +0000 looch 51769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I come from a family of yellers. I just recently realized it can partly be attributed to large amounts of background noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51756 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:40:04 +0000 pastemoo 51756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me and my dad.... we can yell at each other and freak my mom out and then 2 seconds after we're fine. mom doesn't get it.</p> <p>neither does my husband (yet) which is bad since sometimes i yell at him expecting him to yell back and he doesn;t. we're working on it.</p> <p>for me (and my dad) yelling=love<br /> now if only i could get my husband to believe me. y mom believes me bt doesn't really like it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51746 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:49:05 +0000 mediagirl 51746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Modern Family. :-) We haven't watched this week's episode yet, though. </p> <p>We both come from quiet families. We get loud when my Irish family is all together but no one yells. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51740 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:14:09 +0000 MH.Abroad 51740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes. My dad. I'm set on there being no yelling in my home now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51670 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:59:33 +0000 BoogieBea 51670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom's a yeller. Drives my sister and I nuts, but I find myself picking up the same bad habit when I tell my LO not to do something sometimes. But I catch myself and stop. I really need to be more conscious of that - I don't want to be a yeller, I don't think it's effective at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51665 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:56:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 51665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunts and grandmother get loud and yell. My stepmom did as well. I cannot stand yelling. To me it does not equal love. My husband and I have yelled at each other once in our relationship and it was awful. We work at arguing in a calm way, even when we are angry. We also don't cuss at each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51631 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:59:00 +0000 lemondrop 51631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my dad is a yeller, I definitely got it from him... we were well known for our yelling matches when I lived at home. Now mostly I just yell at the dog and cats when they get into trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51625 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:51:24 +0000 Andrea 51625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is and her temper did rub off on me but I am not nearly as bad.....I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51556 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:03:45 +0000 Boogs 51556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yelling = love. We all talk really loud, especially when we are together. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51482 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:29:25 +0000 cyndistar3 51482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to yell at us all the time... Usually for no real reason. She was a very frustrated person I guess and thats all she really knew what to do. I try not to yell but I guess I have a couple times... Definitely not proud of it and I still feel bad about it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51479 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:28:58 +0000 lilteacherbee 51479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is a yeller. She gets really worked up over little things and yells about one thing and then changes to another. One of the reasons we can't spend too much time together. I love her because she is my mom but she stresses me out really badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51474 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:27:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 51474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my childhood, yelling was ubiquitous. I don't think we really raise our voices. Maybe like once in a semi-dangerous situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51472 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:27:15 +0000 chopsuey 51472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Nope! HAHA. He talks really loudly when he's excited/expressing love though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51468 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:26:33 +0000 heffalump 51468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad's not a teller.... but his voice is so loud and he repeats himself because he talks so fast he knows nobody ever understands him, so you could mistake his normal talking as yelling.</p> <p>But no we're not yellers. I'm crazy sensitive and hate when people yell at me. Thank goodness I never had to deal with that at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51467 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:25:25 +0000 mrbee 51467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Is he yelling to express love? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51456 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:21:16 +0000 chopsuey 51456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. I just finished watching Modern Family online. :)<br /> My dad's a yeller. DH and I don't yell. I raise my voice every once in a blue moon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-in-your-family-a-yeller#post-51450 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:20:23 +0000 mrbee 51450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Modern Family this week, Gloria talks about how for her family, yelling = love. In my family, yelling did not equal love. But there was still yelling. :-)</p> <p>With our kids so far, there's been no real yelling. Maybe voices get raised from time to time, but no yelling. I am not a believer that yelling = love. But I can see that perspective.</p> <p>Is anyone in your extended family a yeller? For your family, does yelling = love? </p>
