Do you shout at your kids?

[HolyMoleyGuacamole]

Feeling a bit shit as I've realised I've become one of those shouty Mums.

I know its wrong, I don't remember my Mum shouting a lot and I don't know how I've become this really.

My son ( 6 ) never listens. I'm constantly having to repeat my regarding him kicking the football at the window, playing football in doors, putting his shoes on when we are leaving the house and such. Then there's the backchat and he seems to have an answer for everything already.

I'm feeling it more these holidays, and we are only two weeks in.

Does anyone have any strategies on not getting to that shouty level?

I'm really feeling a bit broken today.

Seriously? You think anyone on Mumsnet will admit to shouting at their children? Maybe I'm unusual,but I witness SO many shouty parents on a daily basis. It makes Mumsnetters sound like saints!

DM never shouted but did hiss. That now makes me much more upset than anyone shouting so I’m far from convinced it’s a better option!

Yes, don't mean to, and it isn't my goto parenting method, usually after asking politely 38394 times.

It happens, we're only human.
