To think Dh may have finally lost the plot?

He has instigated 'news of the day' time at dinner. So when we've all eaten we have to sit there while he imparts the facts he has learned during the day. So today was the news that Corbyn won, and the fact that turmeric has healing properties. And then we are supposed to have a conversation about it.

Then we all have to say one good thing that has happened today.

Urgh. I just want to get back to MNing and ignoring the children. This is torture.

AIBU?

I might just start needing the loo urgently after dinner or something.

for tomorrow's discussion you could just bring the spice rack to the table and talk endlessly about the healing properties of each one just make it up as you go along, I'm sure that's what the experts do anyway then you could mention you are running for prime minister. Or fit ear plugs and nod occasionally 😀

Tonight's discussion centred around the little old man sitting in his car in the supermarket car park. The backseat and boot (estate) were stuffed to the gills with cannabis plants. Nobody batted an eye.

Mittens idea is a good one!
Let the kids "discover" something gory or disgusting when they get home, so they can tell him in detail about eg gangrene, parasites, body farms.

Bless him though - I'm sure the idea came from a good place but I can't think of anything less likely to allow natural conversation.

I shall lend you ds. he can talk minecraft for hours.

we eat with the radio on usually. misophonia is a bastard. by the time it is tea time we are all suffering from sensory overload and just want everybody else to stfu. ds eats more, and healthier in front of the computer.
