I side with Christopher's mom in the argument. Although she did not try to be involved in Christopher care, I can't stand his father. His father killed the dog and Christopher had every right to be upset. His father also lied that his mother "was dead." (195) This was unfair to Christopher and his mom.

I side with his dad because he has a good point he takes care of him feeds him gives him a home pays the bills get scared when I'm gone and Christopher's mom just writes letters and leaves them and his dad telling him his mom is dead is not a good idea but your mom leaving you is just taking it to far his dad did almost everything for him his mom not so much

Christopher's mom was ecstatic to see Christopher again after a long time. While Christopher was more down to earth and it seems that he really did not care.  When his mom tried to hug him he "pushed her away because she was grabbing me."(191)

His mother was surprised to see him and curious as to why he was at her apartment but is also very happy to see him. Christopher's mother says " Christopher, let's go inside and get you dried off." (192). Christopher was the opposite and didn't seem to care. When Christopher's mom tried to hug him he "pushed her away because she was grabbing me." (191). I don't think this is because he doesn't like her, more that he doesn't like being touched and she didn't know/remember that.

Christopher's mom was very excited to see Christopher. She was so happy that she forgot he doesn't like to be touched and she started to "put her arms around [Christopher]" (191). This shows that she was so excited to see him since she forgot about everything else. Also, it was a little awkward because Mr. Shears was happy that his dad was not there with Christopher.

He's an impatient person that can't deal with kids. He's also very sensitive to the topic of Mrs. Shears and Christopher's father. I can tell because first of all, Christopher said around 5 sentences to his mother before Mr. Shears had to interrupt to ask "Are you going to come in or are you going to stay out all night?" (Page 192). And not to mention, he cursed right in front of Christopher without any hesitation, saying "Jumping Jack Christ" (page 192). In the end, Christopher's mother had to stop him from talking further. Lastly, he had a very big argument with Christopher's father that woke Christopher up, and that was because he was very sensitive about the topic or affair they're having.

I would take Christopher's Father side because he was the one who looked after Chris and " worried myself (father) sick every time he wandered off somewhere."(197) Christopher's Father is a good father but like every parent he makes mistakes.

I side with the dad a little more than the mom because she did cheat on him.Christopher's dad has dealt with a lot and it was Christopher's mom's fault for making him the way he is.He was blinded by his burden and anger and I believe we would all do something that we probably shouldn't have if we felt the same way.

Deep down, both of Christopher's parents are bad people. His mother cheated on his father, and his father hid the truth and took his anger out on another living being rather than sitting down and explaining it to his son.

Christopher's mother was very happy to see her son even though Christopher did not seem to have any type of reaction toward his mother. also, Christopher's mother knows him very well because after Christopher pushed her away from him, she remembered that Christopher does not like to be touched and she tried to help him stand back up "and mother put her arms around me and and said "Christopher" and I pushed her away because she was grabbing me and I didn't like it."

Christopher's mom was very happy to see him after not being with him for a long time. Since they have not been together for some time Christophers mom forgot some things about him. She "put her arms around" Christopher, and later realized that he "didn't like" being touched. (191) This shows that she forgotten some things about Christopher, and that Christopher did not trust her too much, even though that is his mom.

Though both of the parents were not handling things very well, I side with Christopher's mom in their argument. I don't support the Mom but I also feel like Christopher should at least stay with his Mom for a little while until things get sorted out. Christopher's dad has a right to be angry that she wasn't there for him and had an affair with him, but he also shouldn't have handled things as he did. They had to get the policeman involved so they could tell the dad to "calm down" (198) and they "took him out of the flat" (198)

I side with Christopher's father during the argument. Even though his mother did send him letters every week, his father was right saying that the letters did nothing. Sure it proved that she still cared, but then again his father was the one who took care of Christopher all these years, and that's what a parent does. They care for them, cook their children's meals, clean their clothes, looking after them in general, which is what Christopher's father said he'd been doing and it is what he'd been doing all this time. Even though his father did lie to Christopher, he had his reasons which were reasonable and since his mom wasn't even there for him anymore, there wasn't exactly a point in saying that his mother was still alive when she won't even come back to see Christopher.

Christopher's parents are not exactly good and evil. I would consider both as bad parents since Mother has cheated on the other and Father has a short temper and was hiding the fact that Mother was alive. It is important to acknowledge how Christopher is autistic and most people around him have bad habits such as swearing and smoking.
