Last night my parents have some little arguements which lead to not minding each other until they went to sleep.I really don't know what's the cause coz I usually don't mind them whenever they fight.I just consider it as a trifling or minor fight in which no viloence involve..lol( )...It will just be a plain and simple arguement but it will last long.I just get into my room and don't mind them at all.I just let them handle it and I don't let myself involve.How about you guys? you're open to share! thank you
have a nice day and happy mylotting!

Hi
Well, I have already crossed 60 years. So you can imagine that my sons are well grown up. But yes, I was younger and my sons were kids, if we would fight, my kids would start shouting LOUDLY. As they grown up and realized that this is a very common thing, now they don't interfare. Or sometimes just say something making a fun of our fights.

Parents fighting in front of the kids is never good! I can still remember when my mom and her sperm donor would fight, I had to be very young! But, when I was in high school to a couple years after graduation, my and her husband would fight sometimes! I believe he pushed her to the ground and my younger brother told me, so we went out there and jumped on him, she called the police and they came n gotm! That happened more than once!
My ex wife and I got into a few times, she would jump on me, pull knives, and all types of stuff. My son would cry, he even called the police when he got older..lol. I would restrain her someway til she either calmed down or I got tired and just went for a walk, or the police came, which never went over well for me! Glad we're divorced, let someone else deal with all of that craziness!

very good topic..
well whenever they argue, it's over little things, but occasionally it does break out into a bigger fight, about greater things, which is really bad for me, because I don't know what to do. Usually I take my mom's side, I mean not usually, always.
Fathers and men especially, usually do things that are wrong, by not taking out the trash, but are also more important things that women usually tend to get upset over.
I don't cope very well, and when I was small, I used to go and yell at my dad too, very loud...and then he'd feel bad...mostly I just used to sit in my room and cry bc I didn't understand why two people in love would fight.

Good thing I was not able to witness my parents quarrel in front of me, they did their best not to argue in front of anyone.
If I will experience that I don't really know how to react and what am I going to do. I might just keep quite and pretend not to hear things or see them arguing.

I don't mind them quarreling with each other. They are old enough; I know that they can handle it. If it involves violence, that's the time I will stop them. I do not want any one of them to be hurt. I cannot simply watch them hurting each other. As far as I can remember, they were quarreling when I was still in college. Maybe that was four to five years ago. I do not know by now because I am far from them. Anyway, both my mother and my father are responsible; I hope it would never happen anymore.

Everytime my parents fight i went out or stay in my room. My parents never come to a point where they yell at each other or hurt each other physically. But sometimes my dad raised his voice when he is mad about something and i really hate it. I dont like my neighbors to know about whats going on inside our house so it really bothers me if they started to argue and my dad started to raised his voice. He had a loud voice so neighbors can hear it.

Children should not get involved in parents fights and parents should not get involved in children's fights too. LEave it to them to sort it out. They will ultimately sort it out themselves. if you get involved, you become a fool.

When my parents quarrel, most of the time it would be about trivial little things like household chores. My dad would screw up the washing or the cooking .

good enough that mom and dad don't raised voices with each other,they will just don't mind each other after such petty arguements with their mellow voices,but we would already conclude that they are fighting based on their arguements..lol.. thank's for sharing!

Hi Bestie! I'm happy to hear from you again dear!
Oh, when I was a kid...I'd hear my parents quarreling over petty things. And when I did, I'd get sad...I'd cry and would be so bothered because I loved them both and would not want seeing them that way. But as I grew older I realized it was a normal part of marriage. Yes, sometimes, I'd see them having some strong disagreements to the point of yelling and crying! But at night, I'd see them embracing each other. Ha!ha!ha! Now that I am a parent myself, I know now why those petty quarrels happen and how kiss and make up happen just as well! (ha!ha!ha!)
Right you are, petty quarrels are common to couples. After some moments or days of cold-treatment, you'd see how they will end up even sweeter with each other. Ha!ha!ha! That is the life of couples. It is called the spies of romance. Sometimes we hate each other but in the end we are in each others arm loving and laughing! Ha!ha!ha! So wise child you are! Don't let those petty quarrels affect you. Just pray for your parents so that their marriage will remain sweeter and stronger. God bless!

I don't know... it depend upon the mood in which I am....
Last year, when they quarrel I started shouting at them, why do you make such a big noise like a market place, in a very big voice.......
after sometime they ask me why do you "shout" to say "Don't shout".
Some days later, they again started to quarrel, this time I sat and watched who is better in quarreling....
So, it depends upon the mood and time....

when i was younger in my student days, i would be like you just return or stay in my room and not interfere. however, now as i gets older, i play my part as a peacemaker to them since i am also a grown up. i try to resolve the conflicts between them and most of the time i would succeed

I just love to see my parents fighting. They've never had any serious fights. Both of them will behave so childishly and both of them will ask me to support them. Things will be quite interesting. And I love to see my dad getting scoldings from my mom,he'll sit quitely without opening his mouth,will sit beside him and watch his face. If it's going to be some serious fights I never interfere.
Thanks

Like you, I try to let them figure things out for themselves because no matter how close we are to them, their the only one who know the whole story behing their argument. But I make myself available when they want to talk to me about it. Hope all goes well, God Bless!

I'll be in my room with the door shut and probably listen to music and just do my work. I've heard worse when i was younger so i couldn't care now. Well, those arguments still get on my nerves becaue i want a quiet environment but those arguments will pass.
