  • We do this with our kids just over 5 times a week for about 14 minutes each time. What? Have an argument. That's based on an average of just over five arguments a week for 16 years, which works out to 4,210. Those fights last for an average of 14 minutes, which means you'll spend about 41 total days of your kid's childhood arguing with them.
