Honestly speaking, which mother has never yell or raise voice at own kids?

My hubby dislike me raising voice at my girl but I explained to him that our child is very mischievous and super active unlike other child we have seen before. I need to raise or yell at my child because she’s doing something dangerous and what I did is to prevent & stop her from getting into serious trouble, especially when she’s almost out of sight. I explained to him clearly that many mothers are the same like me, we are not being scary but to warn our kids before accidents happened, we really have no choice but to yell or raise voice from a distance to save their lives. But to him, he said don’t ever compare with other mothers. He just can’t accept this fact, dislike or rather say he hates it. But on the contrary, he doesn’t only raise his voice, he actually ROARED like a madman at my 1yo (now 3yo) girl several times. He even banged his fist on the wall to vent his anger on us. He’s acting like a timebomb and madman which made us very scared of him, so fearful of what he may do to us the very next moment. I just don’t understand why he doesn’t sees that every mum is quite the same when raising voices at children. Even he admitted his late mum was also like that when they were kids. Mums only raised voice when danger approaches the children to warn them. I need truthful confessions from any mother. Pls indicated anonymous if you are afraid to reveal your real name to protect identity & confidentiality. Thank you!!!!

I haven't really yelled at my baby yet because she's still small but I understand the need for it sometimes. For example when my baby's about to touch the electric socket I'll get scared and scream 😅 it's just a reflex and hard to control. I wouldn't agree to constant yelling and shouting at your kid as a disciplinary measure, but sometimes we need to be stern and that's totally fine. Your husband is imposing a weird double standard on you and you should call him out. If he thinks yelling is so bad then why is it OK for him to do it? Makes no sense to me.

That’s why I also think he’s being double standard when he not only yelled, he roared like a crazy man in late wee hours 2am. Neighbours opened windows to see what happpened. I never constantly raise voice at my child, only when she misbehaves and doesn’t stop after I tried to tell her to stop. But my hubby is suddenly go berserk and roared at us & threw things at her.
