I run away from such people because it's tiring. Sometimes you just want peace and quiet.

Ishilove:
I don't see what the problem is... He's your father. If you are not used to him by now then when will you be used to him? Is it when he has gone to a place where you can't reach him?

If you feel embarrassed about how he relates with your friends then keep them away from your home. Simple.

Some have shoes, but have no legs, some have legs, but have no shoes. Meanwhile those that have legs and shoes are complaining about the shoes.

Enjoy him while you can because there are many out there who will give almost anything to have a father.

your papa needs a factory reset

saasala:


Oh, you complaining ust because your dad likes keeping his lips in motion. Look, I have a drunkard father who has been embarassng us since the beginning of time. He would fall inside a canal, gutter, vomit everywhere etc. Now that we all have grown and left home, he still does his shiits, and the stains are still unwashed till this moment. I would exchange him for my drunkard dad anytime anyday. Go thank your stars

Hi Nairalanders!

"My dad talks too much" and by saying too much I did not mean he's crazy or something, I mean he talks sensible thing for an absurd long period of time.

Let me use 5 out of million of scenario to define my case.

1. Anytime the family is complete inside the house, and everyone is quiet; busy with something, I browsing on my phone, my little brother playing video game, my sister using beads, mum watching TV and my dad? Talking. When it is very obvious that no one cares to listen, he continue talking.

2. If any of my friends came to visit me, they will become my dad's guest. From the very first moment they say "Good morning" to him, he started talking, asking them questions, essp about their work, school, and talking about his own life too. Like what is happening now, I can see awkward smile on their face as they listen but just don't want to walk away leaving him embarrassed.

3. One day, I was chatting with girlfriend till late in the night, he woke up and say a light in the male children's room, he came in and started accusing me of internet fraud. We talked and talked till we settle it at dawn. From 2 to 4.30. In the morning, my dad started the topic with my mum again.

4. He talks every seconds when he is in the house or when anyone is with him.

5. He make anyone he saw with me (or any of my siblings) to introduce themselves. Indoor or outdoor.

I don't usually talk about my family affair with people but nobody knows me here or my dad.

I just want to know how to handle situation like this because I've started thinking of leaving the house. Maybe I'll learn to accept him when I don't see him everyday.

See? He is starting already... continues to talk when I'm not even looking at him.

Talking much is one of the symptoms old age; you will grow old one day.

feelgoodInc:
your dad is getting old and is giving up on life,
Try to buy him a newspaper or buy him a radio to keep him company, sometimes he just needs someone to talk to, so do the needful and stop staring at the phone ask him what the problem is.

Evablizin:
Sorry dear you can't do anything about it one day you will have your own house and leave the house for him but make sure you are not carrying his gene of talking too much which will manifest later lols

OLUJOSHINS:
I can literally sell my soul just to have a chat with my father again. & U are here nagging that He talks too much.



Just remember that it was this over talking attitude of His that has been providing food on Ur table from the day U were born. He clothed U with this same attitude. Paid Ur school fees 3 times in a year for over 12 years with this same attitude. Provided so much room in a house to the extent if giving U a boys room with this same attitude.



Until the day U start feed more than one mouth 3 times daily, Pls stop harbouring this childish attitude towards Him.



HE is the greatest man U will ever know.

rheether:
Your mum is the solution to his problem. Ask her to turn into a nag and I promise you, your dad will stop talking.

iykofias:
Ur papa na apprentice to my boss

sexybbstar:
My maternal grandfather too is like that and my mum and her siblings always dread his visit. Even I as the grand daughter don't enjoy the home during his visit. Cook beans for him(wahala), cook rice (wahala), prepare amala(problem).. Give him pounced yam(u are the best). He would tell everyone when he returns home how you prepared rice for him instead of pounded yam(he can eat it 3 times daily for the rest of his life). He can travel from one state to another to visit another child and relate the story of how u cooked rice for him. One of his daughter in law made a big mistake by preparing bread nd tea...Secrecy is not in his dictionary... He would tell everyone how the husband of his daughter.... Nonsense all through Sha.

He's not even caring... Whenever he's coming to to visit, he would keep a small cane...(can u imagine)

IntroVAT:
I wish my dad was still alive....i wouldn't mind hearing him talk every second of every day

EmoBoy:
I will give anything to hear my father talk again.

OP

Just imagine that one day, your father that talks too much had a stroke and he wasn't talking anymore. Days past, weeks past and months past but he still wasn't able to talk. Bro, you will be the one wishing he could start rapping like Bone thugs.

Don't wish for what you can't handle, I am talking from experience. This your father that you insult for talking too much, one day, you will need him to even say one word but he can't or he would not be there and do you know what you will do? You will cry and weep like a baby.

You have 24 hrs in a day, spend at least 2 hours in talking to father. Make your father feel special, he deserves it. Your own time will come and will wish your children could talk to you.
