WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it doesnt work if you do it all the time, kids get use to it and its just another form of speaking after awhile. You can always tell what kids get yelled at the most because those are usually the loudest kids around. Its not there fault thats how they are raised... IMO.

I don't yell.....don't have to
My mutts know when I'm mad and they pretty much straighten up pretty quick
btw....my mom wasn't a yeller either...she always told me that if you have something to say to a child, whisper it....they tend to try harder to hear what you are saying more than when you yell

My mom does that TO DRUNKS!!!
She is a bartender and whenever people get outta hand she talks very low, it makes them concentrate more and it also calms them down ALOT... Its AWESOME to watch her mentally kick someone's azz in the bar.

I came from an Italian family, we were all loud. At family gatherings we all tried to talk over eachother. I naturally get a little loud when I get excited good or bad. I hate that about me. I do a lot of grounding and taking away of things. I think I've been a bit frustated lately, tired and irritable.
I was a yeller 
It worked for releasing my steam without beating the #### out of the damn brat. But what really encouraged compliance was when I got reeeealll looooowwww and v-e-r-y c-l-i-p-p-e-d. My mean Mommy voice.
Then they knew they better get and do. Now.

I don't tend to be a yeller but I have my breaking point and just have to sometimes. Most of the time, all I have to say is "knock it off" and give them "the look" and they sheepishly say "ok". They know that mom doesn't play around like dad does. Dad is just a fountain of empty threats. Mom makes a threat, they know it will be cared out.

I do that too, I talk clear and low and slow when I mean business. My blood pressure gets high when I yell. I sometimes fly off the handle fast. I don't hit, I don't have it in me to do that. I have smacked the kid's but a few times, just 1 swat on his backside.

I hate people yelling almost as much as I hate when people slam doors.
I am the same way with my family though in that we try talking over eachother a lot
Phone conversations are hell sometimes

It's the other way around in our house.

I think you're my long-lost, identical twin (at least in mind)
Well, besides the whole Redskins thing.
Yelling doesn't bother me, and being yelled at doesn't bother me. I come from a vehement family and we yell.

Being yelled at makes me laugh. Which is great, because then they yell at me for laughing at them, which just cracks me up even more. Viscous cycle.
There is a HUGE difference between vehement and verbal abuse.
I am a yeller... I SAID CLEAN YOUR ROOM NOW!!!
I don't say... CLEAN YOUR ROOM YOU VILE WORTHLESS PIG....
difference....
I don't name call just emphasize the orders given, when needed, and with 2 sons, often.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong. I have no problems being yelled at most of the time, and I usually laugh because the person is getting worked up while I'm calm, but its the rudeness that gets to me. Yelling/arguing in public is ridiculous, IMO, as is slamming doors while other people may be trying to sleep
I just dislike when people argue so loudly in public because it should be our business, not everyone elses (and there is no reason to disrupt someone else's nice dinner with our arguement, for example)
