Money, jealousy and choice of lover are the most key causes of family fallouts, according to new research, and you're twice as likely to have had a family feud if you're from the north of England.
Up to 26 million Britons have fallen out with a relative for up to 10 years, according to research commissioned by Genes Reunited.
The most common arguments occur among siblings driven to disputes over money (61%) but also include sorting out who cares for an elderly relative and politics.
On average, 45% of children do not talk to their parents but this rises to 61% for children aged between 18-34.
Regionally, the image of the stubborn northerner remains with more than half of those living in the North East and North West of England admitting they have fallen out with a family member.
In contrast, Londoners step away from their impatient reputation with more than half of the people questioned saying they have never had a family bust-up.
