No yelling?

Question

My aunt has this rule in her house, no shouting and no raising your voice. It’s a really weird rule but at the same time it’s kind of cool. My grandparents are always yelling, my parents are always yelling, my brother is always yelling, I hate yelling and I guess my aunt did too so she did something about it. The only place where no one really yells is at my aunt’s house. Do you think that it’s a good rule to have someday when I have children? Or what do you think about a rule like that?

Only mature answers please…

Answer 1

I don't know... there are times when yelling is necessary, but, I think I would specify No ANGRY yelling.  :)

Answer 2

I have a no yelling rule (in anger). My youngest daughter and I really don't have the nerves to handle constant yelling. It sends us both on edge and makes us jittery all day. This is weird for our family, because I'm mostly deaf, so there is a lot of loud talking and yelling from time to time across the room (to communicate). But no angry yelling -like the first poster said. That's too much for me.

Answer 3

Yes it is a good rule to have. Me and my fiance have decided the same thing. no yelling in the house

Answer 4

I believe yelling is okay in some situations. If a child will not listen to you sometimes you need to raise your voice to grab their attention (like if the child won't look in your eyes shout, "HEY!"). But there is no need to yell orders to them. Just a simple, harsher than normal, down to business voice will do when telling them what they did wrong. I think it is a good rule.

Answer 5

Hello!  I think that is a pretty good rule because I hate when someone else yells, because it gets annoying, and with that rule nobody yells!  I tihnk it's awesome.  But also, it should be changed to "No yelling unless you're cheering for someone, playing a game and not arguing" because if you're playing a game and you have to shout out an answer...you wouldn't win, and neither would anyone else!  Although....I really do like that rule.  I think it would be a fantastic rule for when you grow up and have kids of your own.

I hope I helped! Thankss,

Answer 6

Its a great rule. If everyone is yelling nobody is listening so you get nowhere.

It would be a good rule to have even if you did not have children.

Answer 7

I wouldn't like it if I were like 5 years old ahahaha. But I guess it would help discipline your child I guess.

Answer 8

It's a great rule, but quite honestly I haven't met a parent yet who doesn't yell sometimes.  Even great parents yell because we're all human. That's not to say we shouldn't all work on finding better ways.  I can absolutely understand your aunt's rule, though.  It must have been tough growing up in a house of yellers. It can be very scary for a child.

Answer 9

I would probably change it to "no unecessary yelling," though it might be tricky to specify what counts as "necessary." I wouldn't count happy yelling, or yelling to be heard, but I like a bit of noise sometimes, so maybe that's just me.

I would probably also have one place where you are allowed to yell, just because sometime a person feels a need to yell and it can be a great stress reducer.

I would make a couple of alterations, but in general I think it's a good rule.
