I will go crazy. My dad is staying with me during the quarantine. He is an old teacher, he just can’t stop talking and watching loud Facebook fakenews content. I can’t send him away.

Maybe you are discovering that your dad may have a hearing problem. Would be a good time to maybe discuss it. Put your earbuds in when you need a break *or* you can offer him yours. Also, he probably thinks your news source is also fake. Practice tolerance even if he doesn't.

Why did you take him in? 60 is not old. Unless he has health problems, he could take care of himself.

Do you have any headphones that he can use? It will help save your sanity. So sorry that you are dealing with this. Unnerving for sure.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +1 headphones. For music or order noise cancelling ones online now.

Do you have a garden/balcony/basement/garage? A new hobby that takes you there. (I am doing yoga from YouTube).

Long baths reading a book?

Something online to study? Google MOOC there are plenty to choose from.

Start a new tradition of watching the news (most trusted tv channel) every night say after dinner for a SHORT time together. Discuss for a short time. Then, gotta go *insert yoga/study/read/wash my hair*

My kids stay either on their PCs or dying their hair to escape my DH & I 😁
