Is it normal for my kids to fight all the time?

My family seems to fight all of the time. My parents are divorced and my dad is remarried. But that doesn’t make a difference, he and my stepmom still fight all of the time. My little bros who are 9 and 10 talk back all of the time and I have to admit I do too. All of my parents say that no other kids talk back to their parents, and I just wanted to know if that was true…?

Also, do most parents fight constantly, and about everything?

Answer #1

well I don’t know. I’ve always had a messed up family. when I was 2 my parents divorced. my mom married my step dad when I was 10 and my dad married my step mom when I was 7. every other weekend I’d go to my dads house. my dad and my stepmom NEVER fought. they were like perfect for each other. but my mom and step dad, they fought EVERY SINGLE DAY (no exaggeration) FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. and like my step dad set my house on fire and then when my mom called the fire department he yelled at my mom for calling the fire department because hes the biggest jerk in the world. I hate my step dad. now its gotten to the point I ignore him all the time and my mom says how much she hates him but she wont divorce him because that would mean that we’d have to move back to this slummy place where I used to live where some people consider it a “ghetto” and my mom doesn’t want that. so practically the only reason that got married in the first place was so I could move where I am now. ahh. and where I live now all my friends have the perfect parents and whenever they come over my house they get really scared because my step dad likes to rip a door off its hinges all the time when he gets mad and smear dust all over the white walls (im not even joking) then he complains about how me and my sister are such horrible kids when I get straight A’s and dont do drugs like other kids in my neighborhood. and then he complains about my mom and I want to seriosuly kill him. omg sorry im going on and on but I really hate him. well anyway yeah my friends aren’t used to the atmosphere and their parents are perfect so yeah not every family is like that. and for your other question, I try not to talk back to my mom. because my mom has to deal with enough already. :)

Answer #2

I talk back to my mom, but more of a joking manner because I love my mom and feel bad when I make her feel bad. My parents do not fight, a random one now and then but nothing bigg.

Answer #3

well first that is true if I talk back to my mom I get a black eye and second yeah they do evertime your fight or argue they let eachother know who they feel and that what keep them together

Answer #4

yeah I try to. but I don’t know, trying doesn’t always work. and I guess not all of it is my fault. cause even though I love my parents to death, they are not very good parents because I don’t get punished that much, I just get yelled at, and I’m so used to that it doesn’t even matter anymore. don’t worry about going on about it at all. I hope that you have someone to talk to, cause I know how much it sucks not to. wish you the best zimmyzimmyzoomzoom cause I know how much life can suck… try hard to see the glass half full lol

Answer #5

In a respectful manner, tell your parents that if they feel like they have to argue, to do it in private. Let them know that you think it’s setting a bad example for your little brothers.

Answer #6

I wouldn’t say ‘most’ parents - there are many excellent parents who teach their children respect, responsibility, and good values, but unfortunately not all - I would hope what you described is not normal…I wish you the best !!
