Hello sunshinerain, it's nice to meet you, welcome to psych central.
Have you tried talking to him about this situation? It sounds like he is missing the routine at his parents house, do you guys have a routine or is the work schedule making that impossible?
Try to be as sensitive to his needs as possible and maybe with more time this will resolve itself with you two working as a team.
If you have any questions while navigating the site feel free to private message me or any community liaison or moderator, here is a link to a list of forum leaders.
