do you fight or argue in front of the kids. sometimes you don't know when the fight would start so it's difficult to say we do not argue in front of the kids. yes sometimes it happens in front of the kids and it's not good because my kids remembers the fight. sometimes when i or their dad get mad or angry to them i would hear them say bad things and if i asked them why they said it is becasue you said it first. kids copied almost everything that the parents do and we should set examples to them but sometimes really you cannot avoid arguing for something but i guess you should control saying bad words.

My husband and I do argue in front of the kids some times and not very quietly.Just like most people we don't always agree.The thing of it is we also make sure the kids see we resolve the conflict and make-up if necessary with apologies spoken so they know.Everyone fights even the kids and they have to see it is okay as long as you come to a conclusion.We fought just last week and the kids were upset about it.It lasted less then ten minutes and we talked with them about it.We tried to explain that while Mom and Dad don't always agree we love each other and that we were done fighting and all was well between us.
