London: A Brit survey has revealed that eight out of 10 people surveyed said it was women who were responsible for
starting any trouble. And mothers are the relatives we are most likely to fall
out with, their survey revealed. The arguments are most likely to be over lending
money, favouritism and disliking a relative's partner. And while most fights get
resolved within a year, one in five has gone more than three years without talking
to a loved one - and one in 10 has refused to speak for more than 20 years. The
study also revealed that a third of Britons would call their families "dysfunctional".
A third had gone for periods of time not talking to their mothers. Fathers were
in second place when it comes to the relatives we are most likely to fall out
with, followed by sisters. The figures emerged in a survey of 3,000 adults by
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to celebrate the launch of Family Guy
Season 9. "Although mums were the family members we were most likely to fall out
with, the study showed that women were much more likely to recognise if their
family behaved dysfunctionally and if there were problems in the family," The
Daily Express quoted a spokesman for Fox as saying.
