I need help with my dad.
Well my dad and I have never been super close but he's getting older and I want to be with him more. But the only thing he talks about is math, math math math! All the time! He didn't used to. It's because I got a C in it last semester. I dread asking him for help because he spends like two hours on 5 questions. EVen if I tell him I have homework due the next day while my math isn't he still continues. I don't even ask for his help anymore because he just walks into my room and says ok where's your math homework? Even my mom groans when he comes home. They have never been close that I know of. They haven't slept in the same room for idk how long and don't hug, kiss, or say I love you. Ever. Please help me, if you can :)

Ask your dad if sometimes you to can talk about something other than math explain to him that you understand he is trying to help you get a better grade but you want your dad around not a tutor all the time.

You could try setting out your homework timetable on a chart or calendar, so everyone knows what homework happens on which day. (If you have no actual timetable, you could do the jomework on the day you get it - its fresh in your memory and hopefully, nothing will be missed.)
You night need your mother's help for the next bit, or another family member or friend if possible, - is there a subject they could help you with? Even if its just ideas on how to approach subjects, doing experiments or whatever.
So, they help on that day, Dad on math day. That would give all of you a break, spreads the help about a bit and organises the whole family too, all in one fell swoop!
I really hope this helps, let me know how you get on? Best wishes X.

This is your dads personality and if you dont want to talk about math you trry bringing up and conversation you can also tell him you dont need help with your math. Maybe start a fmily game night for all you guys. your right to be worried about not talking to him if he is getting older.
