When they say welcome to the family they mean it. You're family. You're bound to upset each other now and then. But at the end of the day, you're still family. So if you've talked things out, apologies have been made or steps have been taken to right what was wrong, let it go. Holding grudges and harboring resentment will only push you further apart and make the next argument even worse. Step back take a look, assess whether you feel the arguing parties are genuine in their forgiveness of each other and whether the situation has been resolved. If not, keep at it until it's done.

Value everyone's opinions. It is likely that everyone has an opinion on the argument or has been affected by it, even if they are not directly one of the arguing parties. Sit in a circle and hold hands or on level ground to indicate that everyone in the family has feelings that are worth the same and give every member of the family, no matter how stupid or deformed, a chance to speak up if they feel the need to. To the family

Tibido was talking to Boodrow. "Boodrow, look out there to the field. Do ya see that fence? Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with my own two hands. I piled it for months. But do they call me Tibido the Fence-Builder? Nooo.."
"Then Tibido gestured at the bar. "Boodrow, Look here at the bar. Do ya see how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down by my own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labor, for eight days. But do they call me Tibido-the-Bar-builder? Nooo..."
Then Tibido points out the window. "Eh, Boodrow, look out to sea. Do ya see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can see? I built that pier with the sweat off my back. I nailed it board by board. But do they call me Tibido-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo..."
Then Tibido looks around nervously, trying to make sure no one is paying attention. "But ya screw one goat..."
On a final thought though..... has anyone seen any foreign countries offering to assist us in our time of need?
