I will keep my mouth shut.My days with this family will end soon, I don't understand bickering every single morningI couldn't fathom living like this with or without kids.When I am gone things will only get worst because they will have to get the kids organized by themselves.

Even if my family were to verbally argue in front of me, that would make me super uncomfortable, but if things were to get physical....?? I would be out of there so fast.

Things can escalate in a heartbeat and who knows where they can end up.

You need to let your bosses know that it makes you extremely uncomfortable being in a stressful work environment + that you know it must also stress out the children as well. Ask them to please refrain from airing their personal grievances in front of you from now on.

If they cannot control their hot tempers, then you will have no other option but to leave this toxic work environment.

Thanks, what is weird the kids don't even flinch when they go back and forth. The dad will usually say something that is not a big deal then the mother starts. 99.9% it's the mom. Just couldn't believe this happened. Yes I already have another job, they don't need me anymore. My mom left my dad years ago, I am sure there was never physical abuse but I am so proud of her for not taking any mess. I can't stand arguing, I would rather leave then argue back and forth.

+1. Look for another job. Thus is their way of "communicating" and if you mention it to them, they will just ignore you or be annoyed with you. It will just escalate from here.

They have no right to do this in front of you. I'd talk to her and tell how you feel. Also, I'd consider looking for new position.

Every morning I am put in an awkward place with the bickering back and forth between the spouses in front of the kids and myself.I feel like crawling into a hole every morning this happens. Recently the mom flew in a rage and grabbed the father. What in the world, I was so shocked I'm trying to convince myself I didn't see it happening. Just venting....
