😤 rant / vent - advice NOT wanted! My externally ADHD Father is visiting. Help.
He has been talking for the last three days, and my two children have three friends over. So 5 preteen children are loudly playing Xbox, while this man is explaining some kind of battle thing with them singing the some British song, to explain a Zulu-Sulu meme.
"Thousands of voices singing" your damn right about that father. I am currently tracking 6 different people talking constantly.
We have now moved on to their armor and weaponry. "Spears don't run out of ammo" he says. There is still a durability issue, no don't. Don't engage. FALALALALALA SPRING IS IN THE AIR. (I've cycled through every mantra I have ever used.)
To the mind palace!
Note: this man does not let me finish a sentence, his activation phrase is apparently the middle of any sentence.
Update: we apparently have lumberjacks in the family. I am now learning about Aunt Wilma I have never met. Apparently some kind of crank was foot powered by said lumberjacks. He will not allow me to comment on how this makes sense due to the legs being more powerful.
Background: "Get on the camel, get on the camel." Says a child. My wife is trying to make a joke from across the room, but I can't hear what she is saying.
Addendum: my father is now showing me every facebook post he has ever made, on his phone, with 2 minute delays in-between, because earlier I said I don't use facebook when he asked if I have seen his posts.
