Hi ~ I would pick a time when they're both in a reasonably good mood, and ask them if they'd come and sit down with you so you could all have a talk.

I don't know how old you are, and that is going to make a difference. But I'd next telll them that I'd like them to try to treat you as a young adult, who has opinions and who would like to discuss those opinions with them AS a young adult and not as a child like them seem to think you still are. Tell them you are trying to develop your own ideas and outlooks and you'd like to discuss them with them, but they don't seem to want to listen. Say all this with MUCH respect!!! Don't argue EVEN IF THEY DO. Stay calm, and show them that you ARE growing up!!!

Tell them there are ALOT of things you want to talk to them about but you haven't had a chance because they haven't been listening.

I hope this works, but it may not. Just remember -- RESPECT. I wish you the very best.. Please let us know how thiings turn out, ok? God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
