I do -.- Trying to stop, but it's hard! Especially when she hurts her baby brother.
She's been raising her voice back at me so I definitely need to stop.

I try to save it for really important things, like DON'T run into traffic/put a fork in the outlet, etc. I have heard him raise his voice to me to get my attention, but not in anger (yet)

I don't do it much, but it happens and I hate it. Mr. jacks does it more than me, but he doesn't realize he's doing it.

Only badly about 5 times ever, and each time I felt like a vile criminal. My father was a shouter, and I hated it. So I work REALLY hard to control my shout. I do well nearly always.

I am doing surprisingly well at this so far (I thought I would be really bad at it because I have a really wicked temper). The other night, though she was crying and yelling through dinner, after dinner and bath time. Finally, I got frustrated during her bath and yelled at her and felt awful afterwards. It doesn't help the situation at all.

I work with the toddler set most of the time so I am in pretty good practice of not but every once in a while (like a handful of times in ten years) something comes out harsher than I intended. I make practice of apologizing when that happens and explaining I was frustrated about something and that next time I am going to try X to calm down instead and then I give an example of a calming method.

I try really hard not to lose my cool but I think having it happen and handling it well can be a pretty good learning experience for them too, so as long as it isn't habit I don't stress about it too much.

Yes

I feel guilty and try really hard not to though. Sometimes I stop myself, go behind a door and let out a shriek which isn't much better but wow, it's hard to keep patient and calm sometimes!!!

Also, I feel like I bottle in a lot of my frustration so when I think I raise my voice - it actually comes out as just strict but in my head, I'm upset. DH has told me that my "yelling" is just a lot more stern than my usual voice.

I've raised my voice in frustration and it feels awful. However, and luckily, it's only happened a few times.
