: "It would be right to describe your father, among other things, as a very hard-working person."

: Could you please use another phrase to explain the confusing saying "among other things"?
: "Fisrt of all"?

I got the definition:
"When you use the phrase among other things, you are indicating that something is one characteristic, example, situation, etc. of many other characteristics, examples, situations, etc. which you could have mentioned instead. "

But cannot understand these sentences!

What about "He suggested, among other things, that she might stay there for a few days. "?
