Leave it to you to write a callback to that one really lovely moment in Fetal Position.
This whole thing is wonderful -- they all are -- but what an interesting take on the beginnings of the souring of House's relationship with his dad. I always did think it had to have started when House was really young, about this age; some of the very immature emotional reactions House has point to such a thing, and you worked it beautifully here. The notion of it not even being a clash of temperaments so much as a man who couldn't stop himself taking out his frustrations and insecurities on his child.

I feel bad for all three of them.
