Does everyone face problems with their families, like arguments? I have noticed that a lot of people seem to get along with their family better than me.

I know you must love your family, but maybe there are complications. I know my parents are often mad about my sister's school grades. Also, at one time in the year, my dad gets mad at everything, and our family tears, but ultimately gets back over time. Hope you guys are alright.

I think it's not that other families get along better than yours... it just LOOKS like they do :) My friends think that our family is a "happy family" the ideal kind because we seem so happy together. But no body knows what goes on in the family - but it's just like any others! We fight over things, even petty things, we don't always get along with each other. But we don't show it because we've been taught that we shouldn't show that we fight each other because if other people treat us as a family that is separated, then that's how we'd end up :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Well conflicts and problems with family is a very common thing. I think all of us has somehow came to a phase of experiencing that conflict with our family. But I guess everything can be resolved in time if you would try to make amends or they make compromise with the situation.

Problems and conflicts is part of our lives. In a family, arguments is sometimes inevitable especially when it comes to the siblings. There is always called the siblings rivalry but in my case as we grow older, my arguments with my sisters lessens. I think it is because we are already matured enough to put little things into arguments since arguments is sometimes a cause of conflict between us. Our parents take part also when it comes to discipline and it plays a very important role in our lives. If you say, parents and children's argument, we also have some but we are afraid to backbite or sometimes reason out with my parents. For me this is somehow a sign of respect to them. We are taught to be like that. Just remember no conflict or problem that is big or small that a family can't solve. they just have to stay put and always be together no matter what happens. That's why we are still together and our relationship get's stronger despite the circumstances we are encounter.

Hi Demonsway, I think it's only usual for family members to have arguments. My siblings and I used to have lots of disagreements and quarrels when we were younger; but we would often make up again. Now that all of us are older (and hopefully wiser), we are more patient with each other; hence less arguments.
