I don't like yelling, certainly not hostile intimidating yelling. I didn't grow up with much of it and I don't do much of it, but it's okay if someone yells that they need a roll of toilet paper or raises a voice sometimes. I like to view the home as a sanctuary, a safe refuge.
I grew up in a house of yelling, but not the mean kind of yelling. Once I had a friend over and she started crying because she was so stressed out by our yelling. We didn't know what to do! The conversation that made her cry was something like this:
"WHERE ARE THE CAR KEYS?"
"I DON'T KNOW, YOU HAD THEM LAST"
"I NEED THE CAR KEYS TO LEAVE! GO FIND THEM"
Do oyu mean parents yelling at kids in anger? Pointless and counterproductive IMO. However f you mean just yelling as in talking louder than normal, well that is normal in our household. We are a loud family. If you need to get heard, you probably have to yell, plus our house is pretty big and divided. If you want to find someone you probably need to yell, Otherwise they may move before you get tot eh room they were in and you could miss them. Don't see any harm in that kind of yelling.
Like someone said, there's yelling and there's yelling....
i grew up in a single parent household as an Irish family..no yelling except when arguing or fighting, so in my book i grew up with yelling as not a good thing. My husband is Italian/Irish and grew up in a very rambiontious household with lots of yelling, love, crying, etc.
everybody tends to shut down when being yelled at for discipline. We go defensive. It is a spirit breaker for sure.
We are a very quiet home. Adults use TV ears so family room is really quiet. The girls have their computer in the same room and they keep it very low. We are so quiet that whenever somebody breaks the silence is just regular tone, the dogs start to bark and run to the front door!
There is some yelling because I have a hearing loss and people are getting irritated having to repeat so frequently they find themselves yelling at me. I'm set to get hearing aids soon.
It all depends on whether it's playful, good-natured yelling.....or bullying, belittling yelling.
If it's playful, good natured yelling, it can make for a wonderful setting for a child. A loud, bullying, belittling environment can be horrible for a child. I don't know why anyone would allow their child to grow up in a household like that.
