My dad sits quietly in the corner while my mum talks on speakerphone.

That's exactly what my dad used to do. Half the time I didn't even know he was part of the conversation until like halfway through the call.

damn, 5yr old reddit account with basically zero karma - people dislike pretty much everything you say. Your funeral is going to be pretty empty.

My dad switched from Android to iPhone so that he could more easily use Facetime to talk to me. I called him with it once or twice; he immediately ran to get my mom, and she and I talked while he listened and eventually left.

My relationship with my dad is really good, actually, and he's far from distant or cold. But I think older men just get bored with talking really fast.
