Overhearing the parents :(

Fleur said:
My parents argue more often than they talk, it's gotten rather boring by this point. When I was younger, it used to scare me quite a lot - especially since one is prone to tears and the other is prone to shouting very loudly - but these days it annoys me more than anything else. Half the time I don't hear it, though, since I almost always have my earphones in with something that will block out the sound, ours is a very noisy household even without the arguing. When I can hear it, I'm prone to jumping in to tell them both to shut up, I don't care what they argue over.

What I do not appreciate either is each of them complaining about the other to me when it's just the two of us in the house. As far as I'm concerned, they're both as bad as each other and can sort their own damn marriage out, I'm not a counselor, nor do I really care. Frankly, sometimes it amazes me that they're still together...

I can relate to this quite a bit. Sounds almost identical to my Mum and Dad's situation before they divorced years ago. Only difference is that my Dad never bad mouths my Mum to me and never really mentions her at all anymore. My mum is the complete opposite and will insult/critisise my Dad whenever the opportunity presents itself. I've tried to tell her that belittling or insulting the father of your kids is going to cause some sort of psychological damage, but alas, she can be neurotic!

I'm guessing this type of issue is extremely common is Western societies. Especially over here in Britain.
 
My parents constantly fought. They are also still together. I think fighting is good unless it gets nasty and down to name calling and disrespect. I am a firm believer of calling your parents out on it, even if you get a good punch to the face. Parents to me are not supposed to be the mentors, but they are supposed to guide you sometimes, due to they have more experience. I have learned a lot from my parents but honestly, it wasn't until I broke away (not completely mind you) that I found an abundance to life.

No matter who people are they will always fight, or they will get a divorce. Sorry but people will always have problems with eachother. Arguing is only showing that they care. If they are complacent and just roll over they will either sink into depression or go separate ways and eventually lose all feelings for eachother.
 
The thread title made me think this was about overhearing your parents in the bedroom or something disgusting like that. I am so glad it's not (and so glad I've never overheard that)

My parents split when I was a kid and they hate eachothers guts even 20 years later hahaha. Luckily this meant that they never ever were seen in the same room together, they never had any contact unless they had to which meant no fights. I'd see mum during the week and dad whenever he could be bothered, usually every second weekend.

I did always have my parents bagging eachother out to me and my sister though. Like mum would tell us how bad dad treated her and dad would say some 'Funny' yet nasty line about mum eg: Why would you go to the store to get milk when you have your mum at home?? (Implying she's a cow :wacky:)

Luckily I'm pretty thick skinned so I didn't let their petty insults and stuff upset me. They can bitch and moan all they like, and in the end I am glad they divorced and lead separate lives. You always hear about parents who are still together who argue and fight every day and I often think why the fuck are you still together, what kind of horrible boring life is that??
 
Everytime I see the title of this thread, I expect it to follow up with

''Having sex''

that would be traumatising, Id rather listen to the arguing

edit* lmao, not just me thinking that then :wacky:
 
Dear Lord. I was unfortunate enough to actually be in the room while my parents....... Created my Lil Broski inside my mom. I remember it was actually my birthday, and we were getting ready to watch Royal Rumble that night. I remember hearing weird noises and it was dark. I was trying to build some stupid Lego contraption. I just remember wondering why they were in bed in the middle of the day.

Pretty grossed out just thinking about it. The Result of that was my first Lil Broski that ruined everything I loved at that point in time.

Yeah, I never want to over hear my parents doing that ever, ever again.
