Is it normal for parents to yell at their children excessively?
My parents have been yelling (not lecturing most of the time) at me for the slightest mistake, and I’d like to know if it’s normal.

That would be disgusting. The only reason I know that my dad curses in his sleep is because when we first moved to this house in Dover the first piece of furniture my folks bought was a big sectional couch that we all slept on in the living room for a week until the beds my mom bought were delivered.
If someone had a dream of a sexual nature in my presence I would wake them up my cursing.
Probably how much he hates the guy who did his last back surgery. The the surgeon was about three, or four hours late, and my mother begged him to leave, and find a different doctor. Sometimes I wonder if the doctor was impaired, or hung over.
My dad was initially referred to a different surgeon, who was highly recommended, but was booked up several months. He went to the guy he did, because that guy could take him very quickly. It was an awful mistake.
My dad had had a back surgery in Houston about thirty years ago that went off without a hitch so he mistakenly assumed that this one would be fine. Boy was he wrong!
😕☹
Go to freaking wal mart on any given day. Its the yelling parent hall of fame in that shithole of a store.
As someone who was in four different Walmarts yesterday doing Christmas shopping, I can confirm this. XD
If I had to shop in Walmart, I'd probably be pretty pissed off at the world in general too.
It's the old kick-the-dog syndrome, I guess.
My step-dad used to bitch and lecture a lot but not really "yell".
When parents do yell, like loudly, it is more about being frustrated as hell than anything.
Yes it’s normal, but I don’t agree with it. Maybe try talking to them and tell them that talking to you instead of yelling at you will make you understand better?
I guess it depends on your definition of “Normal”. It’s pretty normal for my mom to yell, but some people don’t think it’s normal. It is really annoying though.
I'd say normal. Both of my parents would raise their voices for the slightest thing. My dad would get really pissed and shout, but I kinda understand, cause he had his own company, lots of stress and shit and at the end of the day, he couldn't continue to remain calm. My mom was always cautious and more quiet, but if she got in a heated argument with my dad, they'd have a shouting match.
Whenever I had to ask my dad for help with math homework, or sciencey stuff and I didn't fully understand, he'd yell.
I can say I'm very similar to my dad. I'd deal with the stress throughout the day, but at home, if something goes wrong, I will yell and curse for a bit and then I'd calm down. My girlfriend doesn't do much yelling, cause she's never really learned what stress is. She is a university student, learning German.
As Swick says, there's a definite lack of context in your question.
Parents get upset and shout at their children for all sorts of reasons, and "slightest mistake" and "excessively" can mean all sorts of things.
Perhaps yelling makes parents forget that they fail miserably at parenting.
