LYC personal

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Apr 26 '10, 13:04

I feel like I yell at my kids too much. Not a day goes by that I don't end up screaming at them about something. Not like Bravehart screaming but voice raised really loud. Of course, it's all because they're not doing what I want them to do when or how or how fast I want them to do it

*sigh*

I need to change that

Are your expectations of them appropriate? When you find the need to yell, is it because - TWuG Apr 26, 13:13 3
- Not every interaction, but yes. I think many times it is external factors that have exasperated the situation - oblique Apr 26, 13:15 2
  - why not try to not yell for one week, at all. you might find that they change quickly. - Andie Apr 26, 13:19 1
    - Yes indeed - oblique Apr 26, 13:21
Not a parent but maybe when you think you're going to yell put them in time out instead. I don't know, just an idea. I have no clue. -- nm - lileve Apr 26, 13:12 2
- I'm a bad Supernanny. I've threatened it too much and not implemented it enough -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:14 1
  - You got to start going through with it. Once they don't take you seriously you need to let them know you mean biz. - lileve Apr 26, 13:20
Is it a bad thing that 'not like Braveheart screaming' made me laugh a little bit? -- nm - Diva Apr 26, 13:10 1
- Hmmm, would "This is Sparta!" screaming be above or below "braveheart" screaming? -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 13:21
I care, and I encourage you to change it. - b. Apr 26, 13:08 3
- totally me too. especially at work. i've walked out of meetings b/c of it. -- nm - kare Apr 26, 13:16
- I don't recall this being an issue in my house growing up - oblique Apr 26, 13:10 1
  - there are some good tips out there on how to stop/ease-up. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 26, 13:14
perhaps Amazon.com has a cheap megaphone? - Danedukenuuk Apr 26, 13:07
I don't know how parents do it. I had to walk a dog four times a day, and got frustrated with taking care of *him* -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 13:07
I have the same problem. - groiny Apr 26, 13:05 14
- Yup. Just wait until they're a teenager. - JaxSean Apr 26, 13:07 8
  - So along those lines. My daughter is 7 now and we just - oblique Apr 26, 13:09 5
    - ugh. - groiny Apr 26, 13:09 4
      - yeah - oblique Apr 26, 13:11 3
        
        my daughter is 8, and she is certainly not ready for that - groiny Apr 26, 13:13
        
        Have your talked about it with her doctor? -- nm - lileve Apr 26, 13:12 1
        
        My ex-bosses daughter...3 - lileve Apr 26, 13:13

  - Aw man. I feel your pain. I *hate* when I raise my voice with moose jr. (nm) - musubi Apr 26, 13:08 2
    - it is worse in my house, because my wife will not do it. - groiny Apr 26, 13:09 1
      - from what i can tell from my friends/etc, that seems to be the household norm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 13:10
hire someone to yell at them for you. - tRuMaN Apr 26, 13:05
