Yes of course we argue infront of the children.
They must learn that people disagree and it is done VERBALLY without profanity and physical altercation.
Argument is disagreement. No One always agrees especially
if the personalities involved are stong willed and stubborn
( that would be all her, no way am I stubborn).
It is probably one of the most important lessons a parent can teach, conflict resolution.
The ability to argue and get over it later may be one of the most important components of a long marriage. How are children ever going to learn how to do that if they never see it happen?
The children are now in college and have been witness to numerous arguments. It seems they understand that parents argue yet still love each other and work things out.
We did not stay married 32 years without the occasional knock down, drag out to resolve.

I don't have children but one time I dated a woman with children and I ended up meeting the kids. She didn't absolutely care of argue in front of them and I felt just so umcomfortable. For her I think was perfectly normal thing of the "daily things to have in life" and that was the way to do it. It all depends on the person and their backgrounds or what they actually want for their life. I want a life where I will be ok if I have to argue, but the less people are invited to the meeting the more efficient the discussion is going to be, children don't have to be dealing with that kind of things, so just leave the adults to take care and resolve it as quickly as possible or split.

My first husband and I didn't argue in front of our children...I absolutely hate doing that....I saw my own parents do that as a child and it frightened me....I am remarried and we have a 1 year old daughter...I still feel the same way....that children shouldn't be subjected to watching parents argue....I do however think it is fine for children to see their parents disagree about something...

Yeah we argue in front of our children. We never call each other any names or let it get out of hand, but we still argue. We try not to, but we do. Afterwards we usually talk to the kids and let them know though that mommy and daddy had a disagreement and that it isn't their fault.

Argue? Disagree? Work out your differences?! Kiss and Make up?! Yes, then need to see reality.
Name calling? Hate? No ..

We rarely argue and NEVER in front of the kids. Even when we do argue, we talk, not yell.

We don't argue. But if we do "disagree" about something, we Discuss it Privately. And Respectfully.

We try not to but we do on occasion but so far, it doesn't last long. It's never bad. It's usually just a disagreement.

we try not to but we have before. sometimes we do say things they probably shouldnt hear but if your having a disagreement (no yelling, screaming or name calling) and then work it out in front of the kids that actually shows them how to compromise and work things out together.
