Mr. Pumpy:

Hola everyone. Observation...as a person that lives alone, and is now living with a parent, the biggest problem is not really the obvious stuff. For me it is scheduling. For instance, I'm drinking a beer and eating Bravos right now as I do some work an the PC and hang on the accu, but I prepared some fish for my dad. I am so used to doing what I want, when I want, that it is a bit of a challenge. Luckily my dad is cool about the whole thing, but it still makes me feel a bit guilty for not eating with him. Although he is right across from me and we are chatting. Anyone else feel their personal schedule or laissez faire lifestyles are now under scrutiny, actual or imagined?

Thanks, Chris. My father learned from a master of the guilt trip, his Irish-Catholic mother, Helen. That being said, he has been pretty cool. However, talk about the art of saying something as simple as, "That's fine." and it landing a dagger in my heart! It's working though...I get it.

@mariano...word! I know he gets it, more me piuting pressure on myself than anything. It's not the biggest deal, but I do benefit by posing the scenario and getting feedback. I'm also confident enough to take solace in the fact that I am helping the old man out even if he is not completely happy with my methods. And honestly, he's pretty on board with everything. It's more my own psychosis more than anything. I am also learning how he likes his fish and chicken and such cooked, and getting intimate with his stove and it's quirks, so that's cool! Thanks for the input.
