I also believe in not fighting in front of the kids. My wife and I will discuss things at night after we put the kids to bed, but never in front of or loud enough for them to hear. Yes, we discuss stuff with the kids and they know not all opinions are alike, but talking it out is the best way to handle any situation. I know what fighting can do to a kid as I was in the middle of my parents nasty divorce when I was 9 and said I would not do that to my kids.
