Why do parents fight in front on their kids?

Question

Seriously, are they not aware of the emotional damage they bring onto their children? Every time my parents yelled at each other, I felt like they forgot all about me. I considered leaving the house and going somewhere for a while just to get my mind off of it. It would be nice if parents could simply get along and not get into a nasty fight (hopefully with words only and nothing more).

Answer 1

Yes it would be nice if we all controlled our emotions . But when you're pissed off , do you really care who's there when you argue with someone .

Answer 2

Some parents are oblivious to their kids sitting feet/inches away. Their to wrapped up in their arguing to notice.

Answer 3

Don't worry. my parents are the same way and they always bring me and my sis in the argument. then it gets nasty because my dad has anger issues so he starts throwing stuff. and calls everyone names. its horrible. idk y parents do that in front of kids cause it just provokes fights between me and my sister. i just know that any argument me and my future husband get into will not be in front of my kids.

Sorry about everything : (

Answer 4

it is actually very healthy to show conflict with resolution to children.  they need to see how people can share opinions that differ and solve problems together.  

Answer 5

Because parents are human.  Nobody is perfect, so it's normal for parents to slip up every now and then.  It also can be a good thing for parents to occasionally have an argument in front of the kids, provided that they don't go too over the top (screaming and of course physical fighting).  Children can learn from it that everyone makes mistakes and how to resolve conflicts.

Answer 6

all parents make mistakes. they probably don't mean to fight in front of you it's not like they planned it.  

Answer 7

i belive that they dont do it on purpose maybe sometimes they forget and have like breakdowns then later they realize thier mistake and thats when they should apoligize not only to themselfes but to the other people hearing them fight
