Six Ways To Stop Arguments From Escalating

August 23, 2015 By Lauren

I’m gonna go ahead and say it: Parenthood is probably my favorite show of all time. I love the depth of the characters, the combination of sweetness and silliness, and the complex ways they show so many different parts of marriage and family life.  But in the words of a friend’s husband: “Is Parenthood the show where they’re always yelling at each other?”
