Mean Mama Monday

Mean Mama On Yelling
I have a problem. Either I am deaf and can't hear myself or I think my kids are deaf and cannot hear me. My problem is "raising my voice". I get SO frustrated sometimes with Riley & Jack. After telling them the same thing over and over day in and day out, they must be deaf right? I must HAVE to raise my voice so they can hear me....right? SO WHY DOESN'T IT WORK? They clearly LOVE my voice, so much that they act up just so they can hear it. I ALWAYS said I would never yell at my kids......man, I was SUCH a great Mama before I had kids.
