Me and my dad always used to fight at that age.

Mum just used to get on with something else, such as go watch TV or do some gardening.

Its just a phase you go through, so just sit back and be grateful its not you she's argueing with.

Father and Daughter fights are tough

Because he is strict to try and protect her, but from her side its tough because a dad hass no clue wat a daughter deals with today. But just ry to moderate it, make it a mellow and calm talk in stead of a fight. Things will work out better in the end that way.

Please answer my quesiton! Its a big parenting topic right now!

Sit them both down and say, "Look, I can't do this anymore.  I love you both, but this is waay too stressful for me, trying to keep the peace between you. You guys need to work this out.  I don't care how, but I don't want this fighting ANY MORE."

You don't mention the nature of the fight, but in one sense, your husband is right -- you and he DO need to present a united front. Now, that doesn't mean that you automatically have to agree with him!  But it sounds like you and he need to have a long talk about the toll this peacekeeping is taking on you, and come to some sort of  agreement on how to handle this continuing problem.

Your daughter won't keep up this fight when she realizes that BOTH of you are on the same page.  Right now, she's counting on your tacit support, if you are playing peacekeeper, and that is encouraging her continued fighting.

I have a 13 year old daughter, her and her dad clash and they are soooo much alike. It depends on who 'started' it and what the fight is about. It shouldn't be about choosing sides, but making sure they are both doing the right thing. Was your daughter being disrespectful to your husband? Then yes, she needs to be taught to speak or act with respect. Maybe until things calm down between them you should be the one to handle your daughter. Or talk to your husband if you think he has problems handling discipline. Is your husband acting like a 13 year old? Good luck!

You need to sit them down, and talk together calmly.

First, you need to get to the main source of the argument. If it's about something in the house, then eliminate it.

If it's about school or boys, there's always a compromise.

My sister and my mom fight, but they work it out when they walk away, and come back with cool heads.

Is it a step father? If so, you need to take your daughters side, as your daughters and your relationship is a lot more important. If it is her real father, I would stand by your husband then, because he is more of a parenting figure as well. So really it could go either way depending on the situation.
