Try as hard as you can to recognize the arguement and set a time to talk about it later. Not only does that keep the fighting way from the kid/kids, but you both have time to think about it before hand. It is also good for them to learn how to resolve conflitct, so smaller things are a good idea to resolve with them there.

It's really hard - but you should try it...I think it really makes each person hear what the other is trying to express. There is no stomping away or slamming doors or silent treatment, there is genuine communication - but both parties have to be open to this technique. Good luck

mariettap - 874 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I do not think it's wrong to argue in front of a baby or child. Actually, I think it would be kind of weird for a child to grow up sensing that something's not right between the parents but not ever knowing what it is or whether it's getting resolved. I think a lot of good can come of it if the couple can have an occasional spat and get it over with, achieve some resolution, apologize to each other so the child learns how to do that, and *move*on*. Can you imagine growing up with all that unexplained nervous energy around you, or growing up without ever seeing an honest apology between your parents? I realize you're not talking about the occasional spat, but I thought that was an important point to make. Kristina, in this case, I vote for an hour or 2 of baby sitting so the 2 of you can lay it all out and decide together whether the arguing is going to be the theme for you as a couple or whether you're both prepared to face whatever it is that's eating you and make things work in harmony as a way of life.

shelly-b - 874 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yeah, i know what you mean, i don't want my DD seeing or hearing us fight either. what do you guys fight about? if an argument starts, just end it right there. say i'm not going to argue with you infront of our baby, we can go somewhere else or talk about it later. if he keeps trying just stand your ground-i'm not arguing with you right here or now. he'll finally stop trying.

But yes, it's not best to keep arguing in front of the baby - they can pick up on bad vibes easily... At least make an effort to go into a different room..
