[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't leave my kids with them. Perhaps I'm overprotective and over sensitive but I dont want in situations where adults are making them uncomfortable like that, especially overnight. My parents argued, including a lot of heated arguments with yelling, mean things said, door slamming, etc a lot when I was growing up. It made me anxious, uncomfortable, I worried constantly they'd get divorced and that the arguing would turn physical. It was scarring. My brothers and I are all quite anxious as adults and I do think it's in part because of our parents' arguing and my dad raising his voice often, being overly critical of my mom and if us. I felt like i was always waiting for the next fight to happen, always on edge. Now in my own marriage we don't argue like that ever and if I feel myself being too critical or raising my voice I try to quickly stop myself. I do not want my kids growing up around such negativity and poor impulse control. With that said, we also don't and won't leave the kids with my parents. My parents are much better now but every once in awhile they still have these arguments and I just don't think it's healthy for kids to be around that.[/quote]
