I Hate Fighting And Arguing

Mum and dad had some real blazing rows, back when I was around 5 or so. Not nice; really vicious. At one point I felt that mum was going to leave dad...leave me and my sisters...for this other guy.

Freaked me out.

Whenever I hear an argument I just find myself transported to that frightened 5 year old on that day...

PTSD? Maybe.

My idiot parents were always fighting, that's why its funny people these days are like "Oh its terrible!! That families these days use their ipads at the dinner table!!". Like really? As opposed to my parents screaming at each over the table about politics, gun laws or my Dad's insistence that Africa wasn't a continent. My Dad is a moron.

@Allelse Oh, I am sorry to hear that....

Yes, I guess that tech does take away some of that stuff. Good point.

@MiyaDuponte I mean if we'd all had something to do instead of sitting in akward silence before the next fight started, maybe dinnertime wouldn't been so goddamn awful. Yep!! Mum fighting with Dad, Dad fighting with Mum, sister taking Mum side, Dad feeling ganged up on, Dad goes ballistic, then dead silence till one of us was finished eating.
