Hi Woody [img]smile.gif[/img] . I guess what advice you need really depends on details that we don't know. For instance, you say your host father always needs to have little talks with you about cleaning up and such - I can't tell whether that's justified or not from your post. Some people (like me
) are more concerned than others about cleanliness and having order, and perhaps your standards are less strict than his - what you call 'little things' he might think are quite important. He may expect you to do more, or better, in terms of chores than you are doing, or you realise you should be doing. That doesn't mean he doesn't like you, though. Without knowing how the little talks pan out (ie whether he's angry or not, how you react and so on), it's hard to say what you should do - maybe just sit down with him and ask for a very clear indication of exactly what he expects and how he expects it to be done?
As for the basketball thing, well that does sound a little petty, but again, details are missing. How long was the rest of the game? Were you in positions where he should have passed it to you but clearly didn't want to? It may be that there was no malicious intent at all on his part, but it seemed that way because you were feeling like he doesn't like you.
