My dad has lived with us for 8 months now and watches TV in the living room with us every night. My husband seems to go up to our bedroom more and more leaving me alone with my dad. My dad and I both give the remote to my husband to pick the channel he would enjoy but he continues to go upstairs. I don't feel close to my husband any more and sometimes get angry with my dad just for being there.
Did your husband fully support dad coming to live with you? Is dad paying his way? Do dad and husband get along? Is your husband still the king of his castle, so to speak, or are you now deferring to dad?
Believe me, there's much more going on here than just dad sitting with you guys and watching tv.
