ObErikson: Who cares, they're your parents, not mine. ObEmma: Make them a nice cup of tea, and sit down over some scones to discuss things. ObKoz: Don't waste your time with them. Do something important, like filing your books by publisher. ObRothgery: Upgrade them to Windows XP, it will fix everything. ObMaggie: Everything can be cured with chocolate. ObWillick: Slap them until they behave. ObLeigh: That and many more questions will be answered shortly. etc ... Hoping you can see some humour in it. That aside, perhaps try talking to each separately, find out what they want from the other, and try to find some common ground they can work towards.
