Parents arguing is the worst. I am sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, as the child, you can't really stop them from arguing but you CAN do things to help you. When my parents fought (before they divorced) I often times went to my room and talked to one of my youth group leaders (Or someone whom I trust) on the phone until the fight was over or I was extremely tired. Often times it would be an actual phone call but texting works too. Just something to keep your mind off the yelling.

Explain to them how their arguing is making you feel- to each parent separately if necessary. Parents will usually listen if you explain calmly.

Talk with them. If you don't know what they are arguing about, ask them. If it is financial, ask them how you can help. When I was a child I delivered newspapers at 7 years old and sold goods door to door until my parents found out how dangerous that was then we were all hired out to other family members for cleaning and the boys did outside work such as getting firewood, chopping and stacking it, helping with fishing equipment etc. until we got ahead enough financially for my parents to be self-sustaining. If this is the step, be safe. If they are having relationship problems, tell them you love them and don't want to see them arguing anymore. Tell them that they should make up their minds of what they are going to do but just no more arguing as it is bad for everyone's health. Even adults have a hard time getting through problems without being angry. Sometimes even a child has to show them that they can disagree without arguing loudly.

You can never make your parents stop arguing, they are your parents and they have disagreements and its most likely a issues someone under the age of 18 can not help them overcome. The best thing to do is to sit down and request they not argue infront of you because its damaging your spirit. Request they try to talk things out instead of yelling at each other. If they still cannot hear what you are saying, try writing them a letter and allow them to visually see what you are saying to help it click.

You do not have control over other people's actions. What you can do is talk to them and explain to them how their fights are affecting you. Sometimes parents get caught in their arguments and forget that it's not just about them. So gently remind them and ask them to work on their relationship so you could be happier together, as a family.

Sadly, you cannot control your parents and their actions. It's hard when you are a child to accept that you can't make your parents stop arguing, but remind yourself that they are adults and they are in control of their own actions. They have to want to stop fighting because there is no magic wand to make them stop.

How do I make my parents stop arguing. I know what they’re talking about and partially it’s my fault. They say really rude stuff to each other. And sometimes they even ask me where I want to live because they don’t wanna live with each other. I don’t know what to do

Tell them how you feel about the situation at hand. Hopefully they can work out their differences and you can be a ha[[y family :)

Divorce them. That is what I did and I've never regreted it. If they want to stay together they ave to realize they need to respect and accept each other and not linger on small things and channel their frustration to each other. If they can't, let them go apart.

Most important is an understanding that it's not your responsibility to make them stop arguing. They're grown adults who are solely responsible for their actions. Remember that it's their job to raise you, not the other way around. The only thing you can do is be the best person you can be and hope that your choices will create a calm atmosphere at home or even be an example to your parents. What they choose to do with that is entirely up to them. No matter what they choose, remember that it has never been nor will it ever be your responsibility to fix your parents.
