Me and DH have been bickering over everything the last week, and today, our wedding anniversary it all came to a head. My DD5 walked in to the middle of the kitchen, when the row was at a crescendo, with a letter saying "you are hurting my feelings stop it both of you" then ran up to her room and starting crying.
We havent rowed like this for years and some bad things were said. I feel bad because I am worried how this will effect my dd. Do they bottle feelings up at this age? After things had calmed down i explained that all mummys and daddys row sometimes and that its a normal part of life. I even got one of her barbie and ken dolls and pretended they were having a row which made her laugh. I am unconfrontational and hate rowing. The problem that we rowed about has been resolved I think, but I also think its a touch of Cabin Fever as we have all been in this house for the last two weeks.
What can I do or say to make my DD feel ok about this awful slanging match me and DH had.
