Pipe down.

I did not grow up in a home where there was much (if any) yelling. To be honest, if any yelling did take place it was probably because I was the one doing it. I am loud. I just am. Before I was a parent, I always said I did not want our home to be a place were yelling occurred. But sometimes it is, and usually I am the one doing it. Recently I have seen Oscar adopting my bad behavior, and it scares me.

I decided yesterday to let yelling out of frustration become an action of my past. So that it does not become an action of my kid's future.

Today I did not yell, and that must mean there is hope for tomorrow too.

I just don't see you as a yeller. I am the same way though from time to time, and I hate it...my Mom never yelled...where does it come from?
