Fighting in Front of Your Children
Being the parent that you are supposed to be in front of your children is often difficult. Trust me, there are times when I feel like only a piece of thread is holding me afloat from insanity. Of course, whenever I feel like I’m about to explode, I make sure that the children are not in front of me or I go somewhere to relieve my stress. Most of the time, I take a walk or I busy myself by doing house chores from washing Michael’s cool skate twin quilt with pillow sham to brushing the tiled bathroom floor, anything to get my mind off my anger. Although this has proven to be helpful, I wondered whether not showing the quarrels with my husband or simply me getting really tired and frustrated in front of my children is a good idea.
There are times when kids need to see the fact that parents do get tired and they do argue once in awhile. For instance, I had a friend that said when she was younger, she used to not see her parents fight so she was just devastated when she found out one day that her parents were getting a divorce. Even though this was a long time ago, she still continues to suffer from the effects that it had in her current relationships.
As parents, we often want only the best for our children; it’s only natural. However, there are times when children know and understand that life is not perfect and so are their mom and dad’s. I think it will help them get a better picture of everything.
