Parents arguing?

Well i personally think that a kid should never have to listen to their parents arguing, trust me have listen to enough of these arguments and it can only ever upset a child so i have a few things to say about this topic:

• Firstly, if you are a parent and you are reading this, take this from the perspective of a 16 year old girl who has listen to years of her parents screaming at each other, it isn't fair on your child and if your gonna argue do it away from them.

• More importantly if you are a kid and your parents start to argue take some advice from me go into your room, close the door and play some music and text your friends because the last thing you want to do is listen to that. And if they ask you questions or guidance that they are in the right, please don't give your opinion because it only comes back to get you!

Adding to my last thought, today it occurred to me how awkward it is for the boyfriend too, how he has to watch his parents wave at his ex girlfriend and say how much they used to like her knowing that either you broke her heart, or she broke yours. So sorry i didn't think of that sooner boys, promise I'm not sexist or something.

Why not to meet the parents

I'm not saying that you should never meet your boyfriends parents, in fact i think it can be a brilliant bonding experience, not necessarily the other way round as girls parents can be very protective but a boyfriends parents always seem to be welcoming to a girlfriend. The problem is when you break up.

I think if you are under twenty years old, its not likely that you will marry the guy and a break up will likely happen. When i first got together with my ex boyfriend i used to go to his house nearly all the time, and of course because of this i would see his parents a lot. They are really nice, i liked them straight away. Then his birthday came around and his dad asked me if i wanted to go out to dinner with them, and before that he would have a driving experience. I was really excited to spend time with them as part of the family, and whilst he was driving i spent two hours getting to know his parent. We talked about so much, and they even joked about getting him to but me an expensive birthday present. Afterwards we went out to dinner and the night ended very sweetly with him falling asleep on my shoulder.

Fast forward a month and he had broken up with me. The breakup was hard but I'm finally starting to get over him, the thing is his sister is a good friend of mine, so i still see his parents a lot, and every time they smile at me, and wave through the window of their car when they see me walking. Its really hard to respect the fact everything is over and then smile at his parents and listen to their stories.
