He's 6.  He doesn't realize that it's causing me stress or issues with my dad, because he knows me being a bit controlling and upset over his intake is normal.  I think to him, it is what it is. I totally agree with the kid again thing, though.  I also had to give up my dog to move here, and my lizards are now twice as hard to care for as I must adhere to their ways as long as I'm here.  It sure does make me feel like a child again lol!!
