[quote=Anonymous]The last three times our kids have spend the night with their grandparents, they’ve had to bear witness to explosive arguments. A while back, the kids mentioned the grandparents arguing, but we assumed it was normal bickering. Well, last night it came out that these are pretty intense arguments in which everyone yells and grandma cries — we had asked them if they had fun at the grandparents this weekend, and they said they had, up until “the fight”. They went on to tell us something like this has happened the last three times they were there, and it makes them uncomfortable. Oldest kid assured us it’s nothing physical, but something sets off grandma and the two bicker until grandma cries.

These are my husbands parents, but he doesn’t think it’s any of his business. He asked his mom about it and she laughed it off as a “typical marital tiff”. But we don’t argue like that, and it makes our kids uncomfortable. DH thinks there should be no further action, but I don’t think our kids need to be exposed to that behavior until they can control themselves around the kids. DH and I are at a stalemate. Any advice?
