I can't do my homework because my Dad has the TV too loud?

Question

I am trying to write a paper for school except I cannot concentrate due to the blaring TV that my Dad has on. I have to research things on the internet and type up the report. I cannot concentrate! My Dad is hard of hearing so he has it turned up to the maximum volume.

Is it normal to not be able to concentrate with a loud TV on? Or am I being weird?

I ask my Dad to turn it down but he won't and he yelled IM WATCHING TV DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I cant concentrate.....He is watching Nancy Grace and it is really loud

Answer 1

I would stand in front of the television and ask him to write a note for my teacher explaining why I couldn't do my homework.

Let's hear it for the passive-aggressive approach!

Answer 2

  omg omg  omg omg so does my dad. he is such a hypocrite. he always turns on the tv reeeally loud when im studying and when i turn it on he always tell me to keep it down! ughh.

   ok anyway i think you should tell him to get small speakerphones so he could have the speakerphones close to him, and the volume low.

Answer 3

What you can do is go to the drugstore, and get some earplugs, that will help block the noise from the TV.  

Answer 4

Go to another room in the house, if talking to him doesn't help your situation.  There's always a friend's house, the library, even at the back of a hole in the wall coffe shop.  If you don't get a very good grade on your paper...let him know why!!! lots of luck!!

Answer 5

wait till he is done or go in a dif room

Answer 6

You should tell go into your room or your parents room and shut the door. Then stuff a towel into the hole from the door to the floor to help block out the sound. Hope I helped. I have the same problem except that my dad isn't hard hearing and I am usually trying to sleep when he does it.

Answer 7

Answer 8

might not help you right now, but invest in a pair of noise canceling headphones.  or even, earplugs.  i'm not kidding.  my husband uses either when he wants to read and i have the tv on, in the same room.  works good.  good luck.

Answer 9

It is not weird to not be able to concentrate with a loud tv on in the background....especially if it's Nancy Grace.

Put in some earplugs or wait until your dad goes to bed to finish your paper.

Step 1: get the **** off of Yahoo Answers, and start doing what u need to do.  

Step 2: tell him to turn it down, or turn on subtitles, or w/e, b/c school is important, and that needs to get done.
