"stop the fights over the washing-up"
Hello teachers,
It just came to me that I'm getting confuse of this sentence:
Regarding the sentence "stop the fights over the washing-up",
can I write it as "stop the fights on the washing-up"?
Is the over here means "regarding"?
Would it quite often for native speaker to use "over" insteads of "about"?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.
