Is this bad if I'm standing here doing the dishes and watching him?
No not at all. I do the samething. Even though he can see I'm in the kitchen when he is in the living room he flips out if I don't come back in there with him after 5mins so he sits with my while I do dishes & watchs
@Valerie_jean, I don't know I thought it would be considered as propping or something.. @motheroftwojk he recently started playing in there @Mel0011 he's the same way it's hard for me to get stuff done
