How do I get my dad to leave?

I asked my dad to help me move and we went on this road trip to my new living place and he’s still planning on staying here for a whole week. I love my dad but he’s starting to annoy me. All he talks about is politics and he won’t leave me alone. Any time I try to go somewhere to have some alone time because I don’t have a private space in our hotel room, he insists on coming along. Plus I’ll be starting a full time job so it’s not like he’s really going to see me anyway.

My dad talks too much politics as well :( I haven't found a good solution, other than trying to the best of your ability, point out, you can only handle so much political talk, and you have reached your limits.

As far as the, he wants to go with you every where, while y'all are staying in a hotel, that makes a ton of sense, as he's probably bored in the hotel room and just wants to get out!


How is the weather? Can y'all go somewhere with a nice view and talk about nature? Walk along a steam or river, get a nice view.


As far as staying the week, either he isn't in no hurry to go back where he came from, or what is up with that? Or maybe just wants to make sure you have no other issues?


He should get very bored very fast if you are working that time.

@Viper nah he’s just being clingy like he always has been. Also it’s winter

@Viper he also wants to have my car while I’m at work but I have had to get his attention several times since we got here cause he was too busy looking at cows or the mountains to notice his lane was ending or that the light in front of us had turned red. Plus I’m the one who needs it to get to and from work. And it’s my car.

Time to be assertive with him. You are going to have a long term relationship with him, so you both have to change it from child-adolescent-adult, to adult-adult.

It is a hard thing to get out of doing for both people.

Explain to him your need for alone time or your need to chat about something other than politics, whichever is the most important.

Once you see a move, ensure you thank him - we all like appreciation.

Then start on the other.
Lmao I relate to this sm and I only see him twice a year. Honestly just relax ,you know he will leave and you know you will be spending time not seeing him while he is there anyway

@PepsiColaP he is indeed a boomer. He also was very happy when it was announced AOC tested positive for covid and I’m like your life is sad if you find joy in someone getting covid nobody should want something like that on anyone
@subshelby he sounds like an SW member ,hi dad

@nightjourney he didn’t even play games with me when I was a kid so doubt that’ll work

just try to make the best of it, & if possible, lock the door & hang out a lot in the bathroom maybe?, or drive to the mall alone every day (did you use your own car to get there or did he drive his Shelby? you can also sneak away to my home for a week, (in USA?) if all else fails?? ... best I can do for ideas atm ....🦉

@nightowl99 we’ll in the hotel room the only separate room is the bathroom and I don’t really want to hang out there all the time. It was my car we used but any time I try to go somewhere he wants to go with
you need to talk to him and not leave it up to him when he decides

@swirlie I’d move in over the weekend but my dad mentioned maybe staying longer than our hotel stay

Roll around in mud and start barking like a dog at the wall like you are protecting your home from ghosts
