To all the parents who argue in front of your kids
This is one of the most selfish acts you can do. Your kids will more than likely either accept this as relationship norm, or think that his/her family is weirdly different from those around them.
If your child does the former, then this will be the basis on which his/her relationships will one day be formed. Think how hurt you feel when you fight with your partner. Would you like your child to feel the same? Then stop giving him/her the example of that sort of their relationship.
If his/her view is the former, he/she will find it difficult to relate to people of a similar age. He/she will distance him/herself from her friends and find it difficult to connect. He/she will also question why his/her family are different.
I understand that situations can occur and they need to be talked about. But for as far as possible, don't do it in front of the kids! Put the TV on for them and then go yell at your spouse privately. Wait till your kids go to bed. Do something. Please.
