	In the month following Bob's hospitalization, Chris was remarkably quiet on the subject of his father. News about his condition was hard to come by, as information only arose [[Chris and his ~~Ego~~\|when Chris was inclined to complain about it online]]. Statistically, congestive heart failure is not as immediately fatal as its name implies,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201210121845/https://www.healthline.com/health/chf-life-expectancy]</ref> but Bob's age, prior heart attacks and [[Tour of Chris's House\|lifestyle]] made this a very serious situation.

	Chris's videos over the month of March made no mention of Bob at all.

His silence on the subject of his father was probably because of [[Naïve\|genuine ignorance]] of the seriousness of his father's condition.

	An example of this criticism was Bob telling Chris that, since Bob had looked after Chris for 29 years despite his childish and outrageous behavior, Chris should show more gratitude towards him. Chris was completely dismissive, figuring that his father was ''obligated'' to take care of him, and seeing no reason as to why he should demonstrate any foreign concepts like "love," "support," "gratitude," and "willingness to help." Reinforcing Bob's point, Chris still ran for his father's aid when he felt threatened, as in the later parts of the [[Kacey and Liquid Call]].

	~~Bob's relationship with Chris was rather complex. While he tried to help Chris, his attempts at doing so were either futile, misguided or even harmful to Chris in the long term.~~

	When Chris was a boy, Bob encouraged him to learn more about the world and tried sharing his interests and hobbies, including engineering, geography and [[Stamps\|stamp collecting]].

	Bob wished that Chris were more interested in the world. He tried to teach Chris about foreign geography, such as [[Julie\|Europe]] and [[PandaHalo\|Australia]], but figured (correctly) that Chris doesn't understand countries and continents beyond what he's seen on [[television]], and can only associate with the places he's physically been to in Virginia.<ref name="PSN 37" />		Bob wished that Chris were more interested in the world.

	When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob allegedly consulted with the school principal about Chris's socialization, which resulted in [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] asked to be friends with Chris.		During Chris's fourth grade at [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School]], there was an incident which resulted in Chris being pinned down by staff. Bob took legal action against the school, though his suit was later dismissed. Greene's staff suggested Chris be enrolled at an institution 80 miles away in the city of Winchester. Following the dispute, Bob pulled Chris out of Greene County's school system and Chris was homeschooled through fifth grade. The two moved near the larger Chesterfield County's school district for Chris to attend [[Providence Middle School]] and [[Manchester High School]]. While in Chesterfield's district, Chris was enrolled as a special education student, taking Coping Skills classes, and he also continued to be mainstreamed into regular classes.

			While Chris attended middle school, Bob felt he needed supervision to get to and from the bus stop safely. He paid a classmate of Chris's, [[Natasha Turner]], to walk with him. Despite Bob giving Chris the money to pay Natasha and explicitly informing him it was like babysitter money, Chris [[Slow-in-the-minds\|did not realize]] why Natasha was being paid until [[2013]] when the revelation shocked him.<ref>[[Catherine E-mails#Natasha]]</ref>

			When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob (allegedly, according to Chris) consulted with the school principal about Chris's socialization, which resulted in [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] asked to be friends with Chris. The exact details are, however, murky at best, and Chris's accounting may be affected by a later lie told to him by the troll [[Thetan]]. While at Manchester, Chris had an incident on the regular bus which resulted in him being placed on the special education bus (which makes direct door-to-door pickups) for the remainder of his high school years.

	Bob enjoyed collecting stamps as a boy growing up in the 1930s, and he continued to do so for several decades, with a focus on the United Nations and foreign countries,<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref> building a collection of stamp albums which filled six boxes.<ref>[[I'm selling my father's stamp collection; come on down and buy some of it]]</ref> He taught Chris about his hobby, buying him a beginner's stamp album in 1992.<ref>[[eBay#Chris's stamp album]]</ref> Chris seemed to enjoy the hobby as well, since he had many pages of stamps filled in. In [[Bob's Letters to Chris\|letters]] to Chris (written when Chris was a few years old), Bob gave Chris permission to pass along his various collections to others after inheriting them. In 2017, Chris began selling pieces of the inherited stamp collection. Bob's pieces were decently priced, generally for $5 per set, though he tried to sell his own personal stamp album for $1,000.<ref>[[eBay]] - see listings for their stamp collections.</ref>		Bob enjoyed collecting stamps as a boy growing up in the 1930s, and he continued to do so for several decades, with a focus on the United Nations and foreign countries,<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref> building a collection of stamp albums which filled six boxes.<ref>[[I'm selling my father's stamp collection; come on down and buy some of it]]</ref> He taught Chris about his hobby, buying him a beginner's stamp album in 1992.<ref>[[eBay#Chris's stamp album]]</ref> Chris seemed to enjoy the hobby as well, since he had many pages of stamps filled in.

	In the later parts of 2009 and throughout 2010, as chronicled in Chris's emails with [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2009\|Vivian Gee]] and [[Jackie E-mails 7\|Jackie]], Bob had been forced to take an increasingly active role in controlling Chris's spending and debt, paying off Chris's credit cards with his own money in an attempt to prevent interest charges from spiraling even further out of control. By the fall of 2010, he was monitoring Chris's bank accounts on a daily basis and keeping him on a strict allowance. Upon finding out about Chris's [[~~Tomgirl Pictures\|escapades~~]] in early 2011, Bob's reaction was to question Chris's sexuality, at one point even calling him a "fag"~~, even though he indirectly contributed to it through his unbalanced approach of socializing Chris~~.

	Despite being estranged from his other children and despised by his stepson for alleged abusive behavior, Bob was widely viewed as a better parent than his wife [[Barbara]] by Christorians, and – as far as Chris's own testimony can be trusted – he treated Chris better than any of his previous children. Bob had serious difficulties working with Chris's [[autism]], but nonetheless, he had high hopes for his child despite the difficulties that he faced. Bob hoped to instill Chris with a variety of interests that reflected his own varied tastes, and he created The [[Dreaming Studio]] in their backyard, hoping they'd create things there (though sadly, nothing of note was ever created there).

	Because of this, Bob's popularity stems from his concern for Chris's foolish behavior and from his occasional attempts to encourage a modicum of responsibility in Chris's life, noting that he devoted 29 years to raising his son. Of course, Chris was almost entirely unaffected by Bob's efforts to better him, but unlike Barb, he at least made the effort, even if his attempts were futile or harmful at worst. That being said, he also encouraged Chris to ''not'' seek employment in favor of getting [[Monthly tugboat\|welfare]], even though Chris could still hold a part-time job and receive those benefits, so he's not entirely blameless for the state that his son is in today, either.

	After Chris got his [[CADD]] degree, instead of telling Chris to get to work as any other parent would, he encouraged Chris to stay home just so he could continue to get his taxpayer-funded [[tugboat]].

	In the later parts of 2009 and throughout 2010, as chronicled in Chris's emails with [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2009\|Vivian Gee]] and [[Jackie E-mails 7\|Jackie]], Bob had been forced to take an increasingly active role in controlling Chris's spending and debt, paying off Chris's credit cards with his own money in an attempt to prevent interest charges from spiraling even further out of control.

	~~Bob's relationship with Chris was rather complex. While he tried to help Chris, his attempts at doing so were either futile, misguided or even harmful to Chris in the long term.~~

	When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob allegedly consulted with the school principal about Chris's socialization, which resulted in [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] asked to be friends with Chris.		During Chris's fourth grade at [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School]], there was an incident which resulted in Chris being pinned down by staff. Bob took legal action against the school, though his suit was later dismissed. Greene's staff suggested Chris be enrolled at an institution 80 miles away in the city of Winchester. Following the dispute, Bob pulled Chris out of Greene County's school system and Chris was homeschooled through fifth grade. The two moved near the larger Chesterfield County's school district for Chris to attend [[Providence Middle School]] and [[Manchester High School]]. While in Chesterfield's district, Chris was enrolled as a special education student, taking Coping Skills classes, and he also continued to be mainstreamed into regular classes.

			While Chris attended middle school, Bob felt he needed supervision to get to and from the bus stop safely. He paid a classmate of Chris's, [[Natasha Turner]], to walk with him. Despite Bob giving Chris the money to pay Natasha and explicitly informing him it was like babysitter money, Chris [[Slow-in-the-minds\|did not realize]] why Natasha was being paid until [[2013]] when the revelation shocked him.<ref>[[Catherine E-mails#Natasha]]</ref>

			When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob (allegedly, according to Chris) consulted with the school principal about Chris's socialization, which resulted in [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] asked to be friends with Chris. The exact details are, however, murky at best, and Chris's accounting may be affected by a later lie told to him by the troll [[Thetan]]. While at Manchester, Chris had an incident on the regular bus which resulted in him being placed on the special education bus (which makes direct door-to-door pickups) for the remainder of his high school years.

	On 1 [[March 2010]], Chris [[Twitter\|tweeted]] that Bob had been taken to the hospital in the early morning for "congested [sic] {{w\|heart failure}}".

	After Chris got his [[CADD]] degree, instead of telling Chris to get to work as any other parent would, he encouraged Chris to stay home just so he could continue to get his taxpayer-funded [[tugboat]].

	In the later parts of 2009 and throughout 2010, as chronicled in Chris's emails with [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2009\|Vivian Gee]] and [[Jackie E-mails 7\|Jackie]], Bob had been forced to take an increasingly active role in controlling Chris's spending and debt, paying off Chris's credit cards with his own money in an attempt to prevent interest charges from spiraling even further out of control. By the fall of 2010, he was monitoring Chris's bank accounts on a daily basis and keeping him on a strict allowance. Upon finding out about Chris's [[Tomgirl Pictures\|escapades]] in early 2011, Bob's reaction was to question Chris's sexuality, at one point even calling him a "fag", even though he indirectly contributed to it through his unbalanced approach of socializing Chris.

	When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob ~~arranged for~~ [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] to be friends with Chris.		When Chris entered [[Manchester High]], Bob allegedly consulted with the school principal about Chris's socialization, which resulted in [[Gal pal\|a bunch of girls]] asked to be friends with Chris.

	However, the many instances of Bob communicating with trolls show that he was generally pleasant and amicable, not at all inclined to start arguments, as Chris asserts. As seen during the lead up to the encounter between [[Emily]], Chris and the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]], Bob seemed to be more than happy to discuss stories with people, even those he hadn't seen or heard that much of - [[Robert Simmons V]], who met Bob during his [[Church audio\|visit to Chris's church]] conversed with him extensively, later saying that he was a 'really pleasant guy.' Bob also engaged in friendly and interesting conversation with [[ThePCAssassins]] many times through [[2010]] and [[2011]], further disproving Chris's belief. The antagonism to which Chris refers was likely Bob attempting to constructively criticize Chris in order to better him, as Chris deeply resents being told what he does not want to hear.
