[quote=Anonymous]The fact of the matter is this (like it or not): you have no right to someone else's property. That's one thing. Everything that belongs to your father is HIS to decide what to do with. Nobody else has that right. Yes, it may seem stupid when it comes to towels and sponges...but a dishwasher is actually quite a big thing just to replace without talking about it first...

So. Stop, step back, take a breath. Your Dad is VERY fragile right now. He probably feels like any little change in his home is a big deal. It will get better over time. For now be patient. Talk to him about these things. "Hey Dad, I noticed all these sponges are so dirty, mind if I get some new ones?"

Or maybe he'd rather just be involved: "Hey Dad, your dishwasher broke...Think it would be a good idea to go to Sears together and get a new one? When would be a good time for you?"

I know it's hard to sacrifice your time and family life etc...but it's not like your Dad is just being an ass. He is grieving. Give it some time :)[/quote]
