A fight a day keeps families close
WHAT?
That’s exactly what I thought when I first read this article!
While I can certainly see some conflict and proper handling of the situation being beneficial to families, I think there are people who will misunderstand the study and will go around cussing, slamming doors, throwing all out tantrums.
I don’t know about you, but if it takes one conflict a day to strengthen my family, I think I’ll pass. I’m not sure my nerves could take that kind of stress.
What do you think? Conflict daily or no?

My kids have daily battles to the death. But if anyone outside of our family ever tries to mess with a little Prescott, they immediately come to each other’s aide. I’m not sure if fighting makes us closer, but it shows that fights within the confines of our walls, do not ruin the sense of duty that they feel to protect their family. Quarrels are always an inevitable part of belonging to a group. They can be teaching moments for the lesson of communication and diplomacy, if handled correctly. But…yes. The constant bickering frays my nerves some days!
