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.

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, I swear if he's a journalist it would be all over the newspapers.
Secrecy is not in his dictionary... He would tell everyone how the husband of his daughter hasn't bought a car for her.... Nonsense all through Sha.

He's not even caring... Whenever he's coming to to visit, he would keep a small cane in his bag incase my siblings misbehave(can u imagine)

But grandma is a total opposite of him(the best grandma in the world)

BiafraBushBoy:
Cover his mouth with an adhesive!!

or

Fart whenever he is talking. He will surely run for cover.

Its jxt old age... my dad does d same thing and i give him the attention anytime we are together... he talks till he sleep off... then i will walk him into his bedroom... if the chat takes place in the sitting room... i actually like... give him the attention needs nw or you might regret it later.... stop complaining u wil get there someday too... btw thank ur stars his own his been a talkative nd nt forgetfulness,perfectionist or total kid atitude

AmuDimpka:
Now you have two choices....If he talks too much, grow up and stop been a dad boy, get a job and rent a house. Be a man....He is in his house and he has the right to talk.

I think you are lousy because you come here and wash your dirty linen in public. You talk too much not him

dadebayo1:



Perfect description of someone i know .... Seems like you are my far away cousin

Johnsown1:
Op from ur explanation i can deduce that ur a boy less than 21 years old.
U just feel like ur a grown up and see what he says as noise,
But remember one day he will not be their again and no one will talk to u again in that lengthy manner.
I will advice u to keep tab on the things he says to u because it will help u alot in the future. He is teaching u in his own way and knowing who u mingle with, just keep calm and digest his words

Daboomb:


Funnily enough, he may just have that "Gene" of talking in him as well and when the time comes, l hope his kids beat the hell outta him, for TALKING TOO MUCH!

If it is to collect money from him, the He-Goat, will not complain about his talking !

Let him get put of the house, rent hi sown house and go create his own environment where dumb people stare at the Telephone/Computer Screen all day, doing foolish things.

AmuDimpka:
Now you get my position. Can you imagine the kid coming alone in a public forum to complain his father talks too much. What an insult.


People like us wish that our parents are alive ,even if they talk too much ,we don't care ,once they are alive


Can you imagine the lousy fellow saying his father talks too much, yet he is still in his father's house and eating his food

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.
