PC2K,<br><br>You're an effective communicator. So just use whatever language in which you are all most fluent. You really do need to keep your parents well informed. Who knows, you might even find them helpful. I'm sure they're trying their best to be good parents. That's not an easy job. No matter how hard they're trying, they're bound to make mistakes. So cut them some slack. Even parents need that--at least I need it, and sometimes a lot, from my own kids.<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>John
