My dad and grandma have always had a pretty good relationship, but now that my dad has started dating, it seems that it's fallen apart. They are always fighting. I love them both so much. How can I help them work it out?
Stop It!!!!!!!!!!!
If your dad is dating and your grandmother doesn't like it, that's too bad. If your dad likes those women, your grandmother shouldn't control his decisions.
Tell them that their fighting is bothering you and you'd like for them to stop. They're acting like teenagers, fighting about dating and stuff and who likes who and they shouldn't date this person or that person! Let them know it bothers you. --Posted by brownsuga493 07:44PM EST 05/06/07
This is a very common thing, but also a delicate thing. You need to first talk to them separately, and then maybe sit them down together. Also, keep in mind that relatives fight all the time; it's the hard facts of life. But, if it's continually happening, consult them. Hope I helped! --Posted by sydneymissesjosh 02:11PM EST 05/06/07
My advice is to stay out of it. Your dad and grandma need to work this out on their own. However, it doesn't mean you have to put up with the noise. Just tell them that if they insist on fighting, can they please go do it elsewhere? --Posted by whatever_it_is 10:34PM EST 05/04/07
All families have fighting family members. Sometimes it's between parents and their siblings, other times between in-laws.
It may make you upset, but you shouldn't worry about it- or even try to get involved. Whatever the case, you're loved by each fighting family member.
Your grandma loves you and so does your dad. You can still stay close to both of them without getting involved with them.
The next time you hear them fighting, even if you're curious, don't stay and listen. Go into a different room or put on your headphones and turn up the volume.

Whatever you do, don't take any sides. Sit them down and ask them why they are arguing and state that it bothers you. --Posted by darkfaeriechick2684 04:19PM EST 05/04/07
The only way you can help is by talking to them. I know it's an obvious solution, but it's usually the right one. If you don't try to help, sooner or later it could get out of hand. However, I also think you should mention how this is affecting you and that you don't want to see them like this. I know that's what I'd say. --Posted by babyjoss 01:29PM EST 05/04/07
This is a tough situation, but you should tell them how upset their fighting is making you. I'm sure your happiness is important to both of them. Just be there to support them both and hopefully they will work out their differences. Honestly, it is between them, but I'm sure they will try and control their arguing if they know that it is bothering you. --Posted by gurlmod_eintern 01:05PM EST 05/04/07
