No, its not a parent-child relationship! They are both adults. No adult deserves to be treated like a child. Yes, telling an adult to go to their room is treating them like a child and is an attempt at control of the other adult. THis is not the way I would want to live.

Like I said earlier, if my AH had done something like this, I would have removed myself and my guests. That is taking control of my life, not trying to control another adult.
