My parents have been fighting verbally for the past few nights.
It all starting on Monday (11/19).
My mom told my dad that her side of the family would be coming along with his parents (his parents live closer to us than his siblings, so only they come.)
By this, my mom's twin sisters and their husbands, and 12 kids all together would be coming. with my uncle and his daughter.Also, my mom's parents.
My mom's parents hate my dad's parents and my dad.
my dad had already told my mom they couldn't come, but then she said that their oven didn't work and they couldn't have their own dinner.
My mom's family left yesterday.
My dad and my mom are now fighting about my grades, how I inherited my know-nothing brains from my mom's side of the family.
I failed ONE class. Only because, my homework was hard and my parents cannot speak Latin, so I couldn't understand it.
I think they might get a divorce, what can I do?

Your parents are just acting like children. Sometimes parents do this, you just have to get used to it. Also, your mom's parents have issues with your dad, and they need to get over it because obviously your parents have been married for a long time, so they need to grow up too. Adults act like children a lot, and unfortunately someday they will regret it. Especially your grandparents because their time is very limited and they are wasting time they could spend loving their daughter and grandchildren by hating your father for probably no good reason. Just try to be loving and patient with all of your family, and try not to listen to your parents when they yell and argue, they will get over it, the holidays are just stressful.

To begin with,your grades are an excuse. Your parents need a counseller. Tell your father to use the time he wastes in fighting to fix things around the house. Tell mom to send you kids over to her families place for a weekend and share some time alone with dad. Tell them you want to improve your grades but cant do it with them quarreling all the time.Stress at home hits children harder than they know.Write it all on a paper and paste it on bathroom mirror.

Your dad has probably had enough of your moms side of the family. Sounds like your moms side has some issues.
Can you blame your dad for not wanting his in-laws when you state "your moms parents hate my dads parent and my dad".
I'm on your dads side in this one.

I suggest you tell your parents that you are worried about them getting divorced.
You can't persuade them to do anything that they don't want to do, like stop arguing for example. But as most normal parents, they probably want you to be happy. And when they realize how their constant fighting is affecting you. Then perhaps they will make an effort to stop it and be good for your sake.
