Okay. So I'm too lazy to find the right forum for this right now, and I'm too distraught. >_<;; I hope I spelled that right. Anyway! Okay. So my dad is visiting for the holidays from Michigan, and it's awful. He flew in yesterday, and right when he walked through the door he was bitching about everything. "This place is such a dump. You kids need to do this. Don't do that. Blahblahblah." It's pissing me off! And today, as you all know, is Christmas. My dad is on the couch right to the right of me, and my mum's on the chair on the far left of me. They're arguing about nothing and everything all at once. It's so ******** retarded. I wish they would just shut up for once. So I was like, "You know, it'd be a better holiday if you two wouldn't argue so much." We're in an apartment at the moment, so things are under enough tension as it is. I feel so bad for telling them that, because they got all quiet for a minute, and I didn't realize I was crying until I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Then I pretty much ran to my room to grab my box of tissues, and here I am. What should I do? Should I feel bad about telling them to not argue on Christmas?

Hun, you have no reason to feel bad. You're just being honest, and out of respect for you they should've stopped fighting for -one- day for the sake of you and everyone else. My family made it a rule that we don't argue and we get along as best as we can until the holidays end, because Christmas is about family and happiness, and by them arguing it brings no happiness and it breaks apart the family more.

Maybe by saying that your parents will realize what dumbasses they were being.

But like I said, you have no reason to feel guilty. heart

Yes, I agree, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. Christmas is supposed to be a happy time (although for a lot of people, it's certainly NOT that), and your parents should think about YOUR feelings more then to fight like that. Don't feel bad for telling them not to. You were completely right.

I know a bit of what you feel. My parents are together but have huge monetary dissagreements all the time. They were talking about the other all the time during this about She needs to sell horses then we'll have a good holiday, and he always insists on not even bothering with price,
and she doesn't realize that I provide for this family and get nothing back, and he doesn't realize that all this stuff adds up...we'll be poor in no time...
It's her horses that are gonig to make us poor.
They were saying that to me off and on when the other had gone to do something. It's just like figure it out will ya? Then they go and cuss at each other, stop the truck and argue in front of my brother and his gf. I was so upset at that moment I just didn't really speak a whole lot the entire time we were in the barbecue joint. But I knew they were trying to make the best of it. All you have to to is weather it out. Tell them how stupid they are being if that's what it takes. Or give them the silent treatment. It sounds kiddish, but used at the right time it gets people to realize what they are doing. Don't let their stupidity get you down during the holidays.

You have nothing to feel guilty about, hun.
Good job for telling them to stfu. D<

My family doesn't argue amoungst themselves alot, so I don't have to worry about them arguing when the holidays are ensuing.
But I think there is this unspoken agreement that we don't argue on the holidays, because that's the time for being merry and happy and joyful, and arguing kind of destroys that concept.

:c I hope you feel better, Rexy.
