Is it normal that my parents argue everyday?

Its has been happening since my childhood.Earlier it used to be once a day but now its atleast 5 times a day and that too over petty things. My mom always starts it. Sometimes my dad doesn't say anything but then he also starts arguing.They don't even talk to each other without fighting. It never gets physical but its so annoying hearing noise all day.And most of the time they take out their anger on me also because of which i've become short-tempered and depressed. They don't even want to sleep together. I feel like running away from the house.I'm just waiting for college to start. Is all this normal?

    Sounds really hard. They sound like they have fallen out of love. Things will change once you start college. You will feel better. They will most likely start competing for your attention because they miss you.

    Let them know how you feel.

    Tell them you're sick of it.

    Let them know what they are like.

    Best thing is to all see a counsellor together. They hang problems out to dry...They may just have a build up of stress. Suggest counselling or ask your Doctor to suggest it. Maybe your Mom has some issues she needs to get to the bottom of if she starts it all.

    Think about college and your new, completely positive life and just hope they get better.

    Counselling should do the job though.

    This is obviously not normal. It sounds like there's some resentment going on here. It's not technically any of your business, unless they're taking it out on you, then by-golly it BECOMES your business.

    (If you're over 18...) Let them know what's on your mind, and don't bother trying to be nice about it. Tell them you are sick of the bickering and the petty arguing and that they need to get it together. Be HONEST with them, they might not appreciate it at first (because honesty is painful) but they will, I'm sure of it.

    Good luck in school by the way. :)

        It's probably a lost cause then. :P

        I nearly beat the snot out of my step-dad once when we got into a fight. He grabbed me by the hair.

        You don't grab me by the hair. RAWR!

    Get away as soon as you can before they do more damage to you.

        Owww. Do you think you can make it? If not, maybe a relative will take you in until you're of age. My best wishes for you,

    That is literally exactly what happens in my house!! My parents have been fighting ever since I remember but it is more my mom who starts it as well, and then my dad ignores her, but then gets so annoyed at her that he starts talking back too. My parents both then are in bad moods and get mad at me easily, and sometimes it affects me in school if they were fighting then night before. I'm literally living in hate. Same story pretty much.
    So it is normal for me, but, then again, my parents are finally going to get a divorce soon, and I can't wait. So no. It is not normal for the average family. Just the broken ones. I just found this out recently.
    There is really no chance anymore though, not to bring you down or anything. Likely the only way they will stop fighting will be if they get a divorce. So sorry, I know how frustrated and upsetting living in conflict can be ;( I mean they could reconcile, but only if they really still love each other, which I guess is the problem with mine, that they stopped loving each other a long time ago.
    Just try to do other things, and don't isolate yourself! I find doing stuff with friends makes me feel way better than sulking.
    Good luck!

    My heart goes out to you. My parents were like this but luckily their marriage endured and theyre both happily retired now and comfortable financially. If you have a means of expression or stress release I would be doing these things to get through it, or talk to them about it. Good luck.
