Not in my house is the chaos, since its just me and my kids. But all my sisters and brothers,cousins are in a huge argument. So now no one will come to Birthdays, Holidays, and everyone talking trash about each other. My parents are upset and Im stuck. Its a really horrible situation. Anyone else ?

petty quarrels are just ordinary to any one in the family, even my family experience that kind of problem, today my 2 elder sisters had a misunderstanding and now they don't talk to each other.
sometimes petty quarrels are healthy for a family to grow because after that quarrel has been settled your relationship will be sweeter and deeper. the only problem with these petty things is when the person involve has a very high pride and will not want to settle the issue. this thing might lead the small problem to become bigger and more complicated resulting to years of ignoring each other and talking nasty things about one another.

My family is way beyond fixing right now. I know I just need to focus on my kids and not let their fights be theirs . I tried to reason I tried to be the mediator, So now some mad at me now also. It s just hard when All the kids get along very well and now all the parents fighting effects them but they are all bullheaded.

That sounds really upsetting and you are in the middle I will bet theres only the two of us so we seldom have a fight and if we do it is soon over. Sounds like all the relatives are acting like little kids and sulking.tell them to grow up lol

Family problems are common in all parts of the world. It is more so, if the children are in big number and if there is not much income, the infighting is always there. If there is too much income also there will be infighting, jealousy. Perhaps the elders of the family had sown the seeds, but forgotten to nurse the plants properly. If the children are grown in difficult atmsophere, they learn the art of living and constantly engage themselves to earn and save for future. The cultural background of the family, the standard of living of the family, the role of elders and the individuals level of education all count in maintaining the harmony of the family. The main reason being lack of love and affection between them and among them. Love ties everyone, all the problems.

hi there,
im still single and living with my 3 sibling and some relatives..i think every family have their own rifts and rafts. i think its inevitable.. i have uncles who are banned from going to our house because they stole my mom's stuff from our rest house in the province..
i guess all we can do is try and make the most out of the situation and if it can get fixed then we should do something to fix it but if not then atleast lets save wha'ts left of the relationship with our other relatives..
