Interesting way of thinking of it, Perna... But, I'd think, if she resented me getting him up, she'd make sure he was up before I made that first call??? She would do it first and then I wouldn't have to, which to me would be great... But she doesn't wake him....

I don't know why it happened the way it did... TO be honest, I don't think she resents me. We get along pretty good.. I'm not over involved in her life with AJ.. I pretty much leave them alone..

Actually she is really sensitive too.. She let AJ's dog downstairs when she came down to do laundry and he peed in my bathroom.. AJ heard me telling Guinney to come out of the bathroom so he came down hollering at the dog.. AJ's g/f kept saying she ways sorry and I kept telling her it was ok that it wasn't her fault and tears filled her eyes.. I said I am not upset.. Those things happen .. I'm not blaming you... and she hugged me and said "i love you"...

Think to be honest... it is hard living with people and we are all moody people which makes life here sometimes colorful, to say the least....Think the key is to realize no one person under this room is perfect. Think it boils down to adjusting. What makes it easier is there is a door that divides the upstairs from the downstairs..........I have my space.... AJ and his g/f has theirs.... I don't intrude on them ever... Since the kitchen is in the basement, they are always welcome at any time to come downstairs...

I dunno..... the answers.... guess we will have to figure them out when "stuff" arises...
