Answer:

Gregor's mother enquired, "Didn't you want to go somewhere" (line 89) rather than indicate that he's not early for work. Gregor's father called to the attention of how his son "sits with us in the kitchen and just reads the paper or studies train timetables" (lines 247-248), revealing how Gregor does not relate with his family. Gregor is not close to his parents.

Answer:

Gregor’s mother disapproves of her daughter’s selfish desire to alter Gregor’s bedroom.

Explanation:

Then, quietly, almost whispering as if wanting Gregor (whose whereabouts she did not know) to hear not even the tone of her voice, as she was convinced that he did not understand her words, she added “and by taking the furniture away, won’t it seem like we’re showing that we’ve given up all hope of improvement and we’re abandoning him to cope for himself? I think it’d be best to leave the room exactly the way it was before so that when Gregor comes back to us again he’ll find everything unchanged and he'll be able to forget the time in between all the easier.” ("The Metamorphosis," Part I, p. 9)
