I am so definately a yeller. However, that said, I do have excuses: I grew up in a huge family, in a three story (without the attic) 9 bedroom house. I grew up on a farm. If you wanted to communicate, that was the only way to do so, most of the time. You should have seen dinner time. Oh, wait, no you should be really glad you didn’t. Plus I am half-deaf in one ear, and three-quarters deaf in the other. None of my ENT doctors when I was young would give me hearing aids “because you just wouldn’t like them”. Belive me, I STILL haven’t figured out the logic of that myself. Now that I FINALLY have them, at the age of forty plus, I can’t ever remember to put them in. Jeez, louise, the first time I wore them-leaving the doctor’s office-and heard the traffic for the first time, I about crapped. NOW I understand why people bitch so much about traffic noise. My husband is very soft-spoken and my yelling really annoys him. However, he is not going to retrain me out of something I have been doing for forty plus years. On a side-note, my fids (fur kids) know that as long as I am still yelling that they are alright. But if I get REALLY soft-spoken, they know that they have screwed up very badly and find someplace to lie low.

Just found you through Kimba’s blog. I cringe with yelling – we don’t yell in our home.

Hi! Found your blog...I can't remember how. You were on another blog I read. You make me laugh. I don't yell across the house. I hate being yelled at across the house. But we have a small one story house so really we can hear each other just using normal voices. Beth´s lastest post..: P

That happened a lot in my family. One way my parents stopped yelling at us for dinner is they bought one of those big triangles and rang the “dinner bell” when it was time to eat. you don’t have to ring it long and the kid that is helping with dinner can have fun ringing it sometimes too.

I'm definitely on the yell across the house side. It bothers me too especially when my kids do it, but I guess not enough to retrain myself! Mel @ A Box of Chocolates´s lastest post..Sunday Linkage
