I don't want to fight but I'm hoping that if things get heated, we will try save the fighting for a later time. cupcakemama on "Will you argue in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-argue-in-front-of-your-lo#post-73318 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:41:33 +0000 cupcakemama 73318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: I think that is much the path we will go down. It's ok to be annoyed with your other half, it will happen. I think fighting isn't helpful or necessary for kids to witness. chopsuey on "Will you argue in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-argue-in-front-of-your-lo#post-73315 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:39:43 +0000 chopsuey 73315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We'll probably argue in front of our LOs. I think it'll be good for them to see how their parents communicate.

I think that is fine. I want her to have a realistic view of personal interactions and won't pretend that everything is happy happy joy joy all the time.

I don't ever want to fight in front of my kids. My parents have a beautiful marriage but I remember every one of their fights and it was scary to me as a kid!

And our kids will fight amongst themselves and learn that it's not the end of the world, so I think they'll survive our spats. If it was anything serious then it'd be after bedtime or pref out of the house entirely cupcakemama on "Will you argue in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-argue-in-front-of-your-lo#post-73262 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:10:43 +0000 cupcakemama 73262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I don't argue. Ever. I think we would rather not argue in front of LO. Kids don't understand the dynamics of an adult relationship. runsyellowlites on "Will you argue in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-argue-in-front-of-your-lo#post-73239 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:44:42 +0000 runsyellowlites 73239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I don't really "argue" very often so that's not usually an issue. There have been a handful of times where I've gotten pretty upset with DS around (all since being hormonal & pregnant). We generally try to talk adult talk after DS goes to bed...... that's more b/c DS is nosey as all get out & we end up having to try & explain things like bills, & scheduling & all kinds of stuff that is over a 7 y/o's head. lol Otherwise DS has heard us talk serious things plenty, and seen how to appropriately disagree & compromise so I'm pretty happy with the system.

But I don't want to argue in front of her when she understands. I know it's normal to fight with your spouse, but I hated seeing my parents fight even though it was rare.

I don't want my kids to think that we are perfect and never argue but I don't want them to see us arguing/fighting all the time. I think we'll have to pick certain battle to be seen and not seen.
