lol, you aren't kidding.

I wish my parents just complained about me smoking, instead of 'why aren't you married yet' or 'are we ever going to get grandchildren?' or 'you should lose some weight' or 'why didn't you ever go back for your ph.D?' or 'you know, you should really mow your lawn more often. Your house looks like hippies live here!' or 'you should have never broken up with that nice boy who took you to prom, he's SOOO handsome' and on and on.

They just care. ( I keep telling myself that)

The talk that you need to have with your mother is respecting your personal space.

The talk that you need to have with your dad is not being a hypocrite if he really does smoke with you and your friends, he should be honest with your mother about that.
