What's its like when your parents fight?

[Cicero]

What does your dad do? What does your mom do?

[Manga]

It's awkward for me. My mom yells at him and calls him names, he argues a bit and then usually leaves to do something.

My moms an idiot half the time though so it is usually just her being stupid and not him.

[mrmooers]

My stepmom sits there and calls him names tells him to f*ck off and other things he just sits there and let's it go over his head. It's not smart of him that's the main reason she usually yells at him

Good thread. Mine are actually fighting right now :/. my mom's usually the instigator. She likes to gamble so its usually a fight over money. My dad's like the stabilizing part of the house, im glad he has so much patience. Since I've never really had many friend's houses to go to, guess who's stuck in the middle? heh. Right now its in the "no one talks to each other" mode, so it will last 2 days before things turn to normal.

When I was much younger my parents would scream and scream and scream. They would separate my brother and I (my Dad would take my brother and my mom would take me) and shout insults at each other while my brother and I cried. During those times the entire house was full of their shouting. When my brother and I got older we made sure to stay out of their way when a fight began (which was ridiculously often), and my parents began containing their fights to a single room.

Now my parents don't bother with the shouting much; they've been through the motions so many times. My mother starts muttering insults at my father, making fun of him, berating him and he just walks off to let her whine about him to my aunt. It's only really bad when we're all in the car together, when my mother keeps a string of insults going and there's nowhere for my father or I to escape. I usually just listen to painfully loud music then.

Beautiful family, I know.

Haha that part when you said beautiful family I know made me laugh. The thing I hate about my family is that we act like we're the perfect family out in unlucky, but the smallest things can make my mom mad as hell. Like 1 year ago I farted right when I got in the car, then she goes ballistic, "What, why did you fart in the car, you just have no respect for us, you know what we're not going to the beach this summer."

My mom will get extremely mad for the smallest things that noone except herself cares about. My dad is a patient and smart man, he is very highly educated, and chief of surgery in the largest hospital in the city, and knows EVERYTHING. But the thing is, he's very fond of making jokes, weird voices, singing, and playing guitar. My mom hates when he does any of this, even though he is a very good singer/guitarist, so mom will always totally lose it, and start yelling insults at him, while he does almost nothing. Firstly, it's must be very sad for him, and secondly, it's extremely embarrassing, as she does not particularly care about who's in the room, so all my friends and everyone knows about it.

Indeed my family is a lovely one. :)

My parents split when i was 6 so its been a while but back then i used to have a banister on the stairs so i couldnt get down but i used to lay at the top of the stairs sometimes and just listen to them scream and cry at each other. Sometimes my mum would come up having been slapped and I used to tuck myself into a ball telling myself that i was dreaming... I was 6. Sometimes i used to cry to and sometimes i used to sit there motionless.
I remember one time when i was about 4 and i was sick and i was trying to shout over the banister for hel but they couldnt hear me and it was ages before they found me and cleaned me up.
Tbh now they still argue about the smallest little things even though the only thing keeping them in each others lives are me and my sister. It would be about how my dads gf's son is babysitting or how my 11 year old sister would be watching one age (15) movie. The thing is its starting to get like that with my dad and his gf, at 2 in the morning tehy would have a screaming match and i would just put my headphones on and just cry for ages. I hate it and I just think it would be better if i live with one of them and cut one out of my life completely or just to get away form it all. :(

My parents are divorced so it's always ocward

[Carlyle]

My parents just scream at each other, they're divorced and don't talk much other than plans for I have to visit my dad.

[maramara]

I think it's hilarious when my parents fight. They are both totally manic and insane and will not listen to reason. Their fights are like a free show.

[screamtobeheard]

Normally my mom screams and my dad speaks in a stern tone, loudly, but not really yelling. My mom throws things and slams doors and talks about how no one does anything but her, and how she hates her life, and then she will threaten to kill herself and go for a drive. Sometimes it's a long drive, and there's nothing we can do to stop her or contact her.
