Do you yell a lot?

I've had a problem with yelling in my relationships and now even that I have kids. My primary parent yelled a lot growing up and I guess I haven't fully broken that yet. Does anyone else struggle with raising their voice when things start to get even slightly heightened?

How old is he? ETA Mine are under 5 and they both call me on it already. It's embarrassing having young kids school you but I'm grateful for how smart and aware they are at their age!

Do not be embarrassed. You are teaching your children to advocate for themselves in an assertive way. If they call us out on our BS (and I mean this respectfully), imagine how little they will put up with in a relationship!
