We hate to argue with a "science," but when it's
reported that moms are the cause of the majority of family tension
... well, it pisses us off.
According to a British study, families spar for what amounts to full four years of arguing -- and dear old mom is the reason for most of the spats. The study says an average of 15 minutes a day is dedicated to just to arguing.
The research, says the Telegraph, involved analyzing the fights of 3,000 families on everything from television usage to chores. The biggest hot button topic? "Treating the house like a hotel." As fights flare up, says the study, moms are most prone to shouting or sulking.
One in ten of the families polled said they were not on speaking terms at the time of the survey. OK, that we believe.
