My ISTJ dad is going through a divorce and is having to sell his house. He's been talking about moving into an apartment, and I may move in with him. By the way, any ISTJ/ISTP parent-child relationships here?
Anyway, I'm completely comfortable with apartment living. I like how carefree and non-committal it is. If something goes wrong, it's somebody else's job to fix it. I've had my gripes about the neighbors, but I don't really care that much. I could hear every time my neighbors on the left had sex and when they watched television on the right. A lady underneath me had a little yappy dog I joked about shooting everyday. So, sure, the noise is there, but it doesn't get to me 99% of the time.
My dad, on the other hand, is very concerned about his peace and quiet. He is also uptight about the space. He has already drafted on the computer every apartment and inserted his furniture to scale to see how it will fit. Must. Be. Efficient.
Whatever.
Anyway, he knows that moving into an apartment, temporarily, is the best solution. At least, I think. I'm all gung-ho about it and he's dragging his feet, mopey-fied. He's like the eighth dwarf. So, how do I... I don't know... make him comfortable with it? Can I do anything to like, get him excited about the living situation? :laughing:
