Okay so my parents started their's a bit late they are both almost 60. My mom is trying to lose weight so she doesnt cook anymore and my dad is desparately trying to get her to cook again. He also tells me about how his job is boring sometimes which I never ever thought he would say to me. He has always been about his job. Both tend to throw some comments my way lately. My mom was like I wish you liked Mike more than a friend then gives this sad face. My dad was like you always have had your problems with men. Im like umm I am 24 it comes with the territory and look at the role model I have. Oi does anyone else have these issues popping up? Its wicked annoying.

At 24 years of age, your should so totally be OUT of the equation!!!!!!!!!!!! Your parents are using you as their sounding boards and that's so not fair.
And, it's NOT about the cooking or the job. They both are very unhappy with themselves.
Save yourself and get the heck outta there.

Well, yes and no. I think it's part of life. So far as you dad is concerned, when you get to be 60 in this day and age, your job isn't what it used to be and I'm sure a lot of the old gang is gone. Your pretty much on your own now with computer technology, cell phones, and Lord knows what else. I think your dad should learn how to cook or he and you should learn together. Give your mom a break. Learn how to cook healthful, less fattening meals. If your mom snacks on sweets and crackers, tell her that's what's making her fat (I don't mean to be mean, I don't think meals make you fat if you eat within reason). You guys should start walking every night after dinner. I think everyone is sick and tired of their "rut". when they get to be 60, but you are all very blessed to have each other. I know I went through that. There should be a happy medium. Tell your folks to knock off the personal digs, it's counterproductive. If they are in their 60 and you in your 20s, they kinda got a late start on things themselves (in my view). Best wishes--maybe we can blame it on the winter doldrums.

I wouldn't put much thought why your parents are acting like that Concentrate how you can help your mother,By finding for her a new dish so she will loose more weight.And you will also find to help your dad.but do not put to much effort to your parents,there old anough,keep you strenght for yourself to find the best solution.

Tell your parents to back off, and that your already old enough to care about your personal issues.
