Don't Go To Bed Angry

Wen I was younger my sister and I used to fight all the time. It was typical sister fights...nothing too bad or worse than anything else. My dad always said "don't go to bed angry". My mother was a little bit more morbid, cornering us when we were silently pushing each other out of the way to see the mirror while we were brushing our teeth, and she'd say "you wake up tomorrow after having fought the night before and find your sister dead. How do you feel now?" Both parents found ways to get us to resolve our issues before they got more out of hand. It's definitely a good lesson to have in my back pocket whenever I need it, be it with my current family or the one I start in the future.
