I can never understand how a grown ass adult (heck, two grown ass adults) can fight in front of a child… I rlly hope we become better parents when the time comes…
It’s impossible to never fight in front of a kid you’re raising yourselves. If you live in the city during a pandemic, there might be literally nowhere else to go. I think the key is to fight fair; don’t forget that you love the people hearing your words.
Just keep telling yourself, “two Christmases and two birthdays” until greed washes away the pain.
Then try to be less of an asshole to your kids.
Except when neither of the divorced parents has any money, and you get zero birthdays and zero Xmas, but a whole lot of yelling from both sides about how lucky you are and how “I don’t need to get you anything, that bitch/asshole of a mother/father will get something for you.”
It’s what my wife went through. But she is doing a great job as a mom and a wife because she made up her mind to be different than her parents. She also went from a size 20 to a size 8 over the past several years of constant effort but that’s another story.
Except if your parents never end up divorcing and you just having to live with their bickering and one parent undermining the other with gaslighting. Fun times…
“Stay together for the kids, we can make them as miserable as we are together!”
I’ll adopt the hedgie
They’re playing child support chicken.
The backseat while they are in a very big argument was always the most awkward thing.
God this little fucker is ADORABLE
