probably i'll just stare at them. i would look at both of them then watch them argue. they are old enough to know that it's improper to argue in front of us children. probably with that they would stop fighting.

We know arguing parents happens normally but what is wrong is when they argue and shout in front of their kids especially those underage. When my parents argue sometimes I wanted to be in the middle of the fight and try to cool them down but I just don't have the guts to do so. What I do is just like you go to my room and listen to some very loud music which i will not hear them quarreling. But it doesn't happen all the time since they are separated. Some say arguments etc. can make relationship grow stronger but when the limit lapses and when they do not respect each other anymore that cause break up which leads for us to have broken family....huhu T.T

I will just listen to them, now they don't argue, when I was kid, before 15 to 20 years, they used to fight more often, but I will listen to them, no other go...in course of time, you will get familiar to that, and after some time, I did not even consider their argument, I will just ignore, now its fine, they no more fight with each other, don't worry, its just for only few years, then it will be normal once you grow old :)

It's not great to watch your parents argue, it's better just to remove yourself from the situation and not hear the inevitable. When my parents argue, it's my Mum doing the yelling and screaming whereas my dad just remain silent. When my Mum is pissed, she is really pissed and she'll go on and on, blowing up the house. Sometimes my Mum argues about really pointless things and my Dad jokes about her, making her even more angry. He'll be like why do you shout like a goose? And my Mum would pump up the volume and turn all tomato red. When this happens, I just go to my room and watch some TV and sometimes giggle about the jokes my dad makes. Eventually she'll calm down. But every family is different and that's how my family works.

for me , I will listen to them and make myself as their median. yes , it is sad to hear them shouting and arguing in front, so i have to let them know that it should be better for them to talk in a slow manner rather than shouting.

We know that most of the youths are not at all interested in hearing advices or suggestions.but as we know our parents are advising us for our benefits.actually we are not ready to make sense on that.in my case i am used to hear my parents that what they are going to advise.

When I was younger, I always witness my parents arguing and shouting with each other and yes that really makes me sad and that also makes me feel bad for them. And the most difficult part is seeing our mom cries. I usually ignore them and pretend that I am not seeing or hearing anything, sometimes I just leave them and bring my younger brother with me in the room and talk to him coz he's more affected than me due to his young age. But there's one instance that I can't stop my self and interrupt them and tell them to shut up...hehe and I think that's kinda effective coz they stop. lol! I think my brother and I just learn to live like that during those time and that we also learn how to deal with it. We are just happy that things like that don't happen anymore and that are parents are already in good terms, and now, whenever they are having some small arguments on petty things, my brother and I just laugh on them...hehe

They argued so often through my childhood that I would just tune them out by turning the tv up, or if it was daytime, I'd go outside to play. My parents argued in Hungarian all the time, so it was frustrating for me to NOT know what they were saying.

Parents arguing, the one thing that we don't really want to listen to but we really cannot help ourselves. It is like that nasty wreck that you cannot look away from. It is just something that you cannot shake, something that you are unable to really deal with. I remember many times when I was a child, I think that I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide, but I had listened to see whether my name would come up. I didn't want it to come up but it is just some morbid curiosity. It is really bad to hear your parents fight. Or any family members for that matter. Family arguments are the absolute worst and it is rather awkward if you happen to overhear about it. It is like some aura of uncomfortableness. I tried and leave the house without them noticing because it's not something that I wanted to deal with but there is some small part of me that was disturbingly curious.

Yes, it's really a sad thing to hear our parents quarrel. But i think they are just like any couple out there who will quarrel as well. I'm like you too. Whenever i hear they shouting, i'll just hide into my room. I think it's better to let them settle it themselves!

Good thing with my parents is when they have misunderstandings, they just talk about it at night when all of us are already sleeping. And how did I know that? Cause I saw them once. When my mom thought my dad was cheating on her. Gladly, she was wrong. And I never saw them shouting at each other because of some major family or financial problems. At least not yet. But if ever they will, someday, I guess I'll just leave it to them They're old enough to realize how to solve things with themselves.

I feel sad whenever I hear both of them fight. I guess it's hard for every kid to hear his/her parents fight. Whenever I hear them arguing, sometimes I tell them to stop. I can't just go to my room and leave them fighting, I feel like I have to do something. There was even a time when they fought so hard and my tears just started to fell and then I shouted at them and told them to stop. At that time, I just couldn't stop crying. Yeah I feel how you feel. It really sucks.

Arguements within a relationship can't be eradicated,i think it's part of it. Well as for my parents,they sometimes argue but my father always steps down,he just let my mother talk. He will sometimes walk away. Often I just listen to them,or ignores them,but sometimes I interfere in a manner that will not offend them both. After a few minutes or hours,they will be ok.

I always remember that when I was young, my parents would argue a lot of the time. I was sometimes scared to come home from school incase something had happened which had made them argue again. Now that I'm older, it still upsets me, but they don't argue even half as much. My Dad works away from home for three days each week now, and I think that it gives them the space that they need in order to resolve their differences and not get fed up of the sight of each other like might have happened in the past.
