[quote=Anonymous]I’m curious as to what people think about this. DH and I went to college together where engaging in political debates was kind of a form of flirtation for us (nerd alert, I know). We’ve mostly fallen out of the habit since Trump (since we are both anti) but from time to time, we’ll still get into it. He leans conservative, I lean liberal. Tonight we were talking about the border crisis and it got a little loud.

Anyway, our teen came down to tell us to “stop fighting.” We explained that we weren’t fighting, we were debating. It might sound weird to people who hate politics or think it’s boring but we’ve always enjoyed debating as a kind of intellectual or rhetorical exercise and truly do not take it personally. We actually tease and laugh a lot while talking this way. Does this sound believable? Does anyone else relate to what I am saying? We explained it to DS (without the mention of flirtation of course) and he seemed to accept it but wdyt: does loud debating = fighting to kids? [/quote]
