What problems is Wil experiencing at home in the novel, The Island?

Wils' mother and father are good people who work hard, but Mom is constantly cleaning the house while Dad works long hours for the highway department and dabbles with get-rich quick schemes. From Wil's perspective, they are too quick to turn on the television at night or to bicker over Something Important instead of conversing with their son. Wil is not angered by their behavior, but he is frustrated. So he ignores them as he perceives his parents ignore him.
