I'm with Jeff on both accounts! My father is a total control freak too and has always tried to treat us like 10 year-old children when we go home. Most of the time I let it roll off my back, but occasionally he gets way out of line and I don't hesitate to let him know. After the first couple of times and the shock wore off that I was actually standing up to him, surprise, surprise he does this quite less now - at least to me.
