your role to patch things

If your parents have had a big fight ... it is between them only and nobody else. Adults fight about all sorts of things ... and adults also includes parents ... and it is never a good idea to get involved in fights or arguements between other people. Best let them sort it out between them ... do not take sides and if one wants to explain to you what happened ... you have to decide whether or not you want to listen to their point of view. If you listen to one point of view then you have to listen to both of them. Then you cannot make a judgement on either of your parents ... they are the only ones who can work it out. So smile at both of them, give them both hugs and continue with your life as though nothing had happened. On the whole though ... you are better off not knowing what their arguement/big fight it is all about .. and it is better not to be wanting to hear what each of them has to say about the matter. Verbal fights or disagreements or arguements happen in every marriage ... and only the couple can work it out between themselves.

I wouldn't do anything but just to try my best to make them smile and try to make them laugh so that their mood will change and lighten up. Whatever they fought about, it has a reason that only the two of them can solve and fix. I won't meddle in things between two married adult because whatever it is, they know what to do about it and it's just important that when they talk about it, they are in a better mood and not both smoking mad at each other because if that will be the case, they won't be able to fix anything but just make the fight bigger.
