I can never understand how a grown ass adult (heck, two grown ass adults) can fight in front of a child.... I rlly hope we become better parents when the time comes...

It's impossible to never fight in front of a kid you're raising yourselves. If you live in the city during a pandemic, there might be literally nowhere else to go. I think the key is to fight fair; don't forget that you love the people hearing your words.

Fair... Although in my mind, I was thinking of a fight as an escalated disagreement. Disagreements are fine. In fact, they are inevitable. In this context, I define a "fight" as "a disagreement involving raised voices, shouting, cursing and even violence at times".

It just seems that we share slightly different definitions when we refer to a "fight". Either ways, the advice "don’t forget that you love the people hearing your words" is extremely useful in such cases. Let's hope that we can live by it to the maximum :)
