Family survival

Avoid family arguments over stuff like whose turn it is to do the washing up!

Article by : SpunOut.ie

Listen to another family member's point of view.
Be the first to make up after a row.
Admit when you are wrong.
Patiently accept a parental decision, when a good tantrum might get you your own way.
Accept that parents try to be fair, but that you can't get your own way all the time.
Talk reasonably when you feel like screaming and shouting.
Pass up an opportunity to get back at a family member who has annoyed you.
Take other family members' feelings into account when you act or speak.
Keep promises.
Own up when you've done something you really shouldn't have.
