What Causes the Biggest Arguments in Your House?

[Saj]

The tv - arguments over the remote control ?
The car - I want it tonight, no I do !
Cooking - You cook tonight, no you do it !

In our house it has to be DIY. We bought quite a bit of stuff from Ikea over Xmas and the New Year. Over the last few days I've been assembling it (or shall I say trying to assemble it :D ), boy have my attempts at assembling the bedroom furniture caused some heated debate in our house !

With the kids:-

-Over the P.C/Internet
-TV Remote - cant afford that Sky Multiroom/Plus thing
-Sweets. They eat too many; and I have to face the shame at the dentist!

With the wife:-

-She wants to goto Pakistan...as soon as she gets back!!!

[karachiite]

TV used to be the biggest argument causing topic before. But now its firmly under my control and Im more tactful in how to exercise my authority over the remote too.

Do you just sit on it now?

[Somali Pirate]

getting food supplies from the shops and vaccuming

my mom is a nightmare when it comes to household chores

[suhaib]

must be the tv in every house

[z10]

my mum is a perfectionist, she would wipe the house clean of even the last peck of dust

and my room looks like a warzone

[Daoud]

My mum is generally very accomodating with TV so nothing happens there (either way neither of us watch THAT much TV). My dad either watched cricket or news or ocassionally Pakistani soaps. Of which Im usually watching one of them.

I dont think me and my brother have ever gotten into an arguement over what to watch.

No matter how much I get the urge, I'll never tell my nani to bugger off when shes watching "Kabi Saas bhe kabi bahoo thee" for the 3rd time, so no arguements there

That leaves my sister :16:
Same applies with the computer but I guess we're pretty civil now

[Geordie Ahmed]

Used to be the tv remote but nowadays doesnt happen cos i have Sky Plus which makes it easier - Football is a priority in the house

[Khalil]

I live by myself and mostly in the jungles and so I don'thave any family arguments

Lucky me :)

[peridot]

With my hubs over the internet and sleep timings.

My parents home: My dad lets my baby sis go out only if I am going, but I usually dont feel like going on a shopping spree every other day to check out new hand bags, jewellery, shoes, fast food outlet. This results in my sis raging that shes unfairly treated and that I am an old fashioned bore who knows nothing of "enjoyment'.

Arguements with my dad are him lamenting about how I'm wasting my life by not doing a job and not helping him in his business with me giving reasons for not working which dont go down well with him....makes him even more angry. I then calm him down by bringing up my Phd.
Mommy dearest always complaining that I dont eat proper food.

[Hussain]

with my brother: on internet timings, and tv remote controls

with my parents: on that i waste too much time and dont study enough

[z10]

my parents are always telling me i spend too much money :|

[entralinks]

Does your money have a problem with your parents? No.

Why do always parents have problems with our things? Miggy do you have a problem with something?

[Geordie Ahmed]

Oh and i hate the fact i cant decide to skip lectures, well i can skip lectures its just every 5 minutes im told "wake up" "wake up" and its so annoying i think i should have just went to the lecture - there is nothing more frustrating than that

[catwoman]

I don't really fight much...

With my mom:

- me not eating properly
- me sleeping too much

With my dad:

- Shoaib vs Sami
- Waqar vs Wasim
- my favorite actors and singers

[nafajafam]

Why are you awake still?
Why havent you eaten yet?
Where are you going? Why are you going?
You are not studying enough !!

and the list is endless... used to live alone and then my family also decided to move to canada... that day my life changed. :(

Dont Ikea offer to assemble it for you for an extra £15-20 or so?
That is so worth it cos you let them do all the hard work, check up on the once in a while and if you dont like tell them to sort it out again :19: :23:

I helped my brother assemble or rather try to assemble a drawer and it was a pain in the aaa.... so from that day i vowed to never assemble large furniture

They can assemble the furniture for you !!! Oh damn I wish I'd known that. Bruised fingers, nearly smashed a window, drilled the bedroom carpet and left a big hole in it and I havent finished yet :D

[HAFRIDI]

--If i dont want to go to a wedding...my mum goes mad at me for some reason

that has to be common!

[Oxy]

dad forces me to eat tomatoes,

Sounds like an issue for the Social Service/NSPCC!

[entralinks]

Or perhaps being born at the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Raz]

With my brother its over the computer. Don't really have many arguments other than that, my parents sometimes lecture me about money but thats about it.

[Fawad]

Of course about TV. My sisters are forever glued to crap indian channels watching rubbish indian soaps. They watch about 10-15 different soaps everyday and tell me to stop watching cricket as it affects my studies. :12:
