Between a rock and a hard place

Have you considered seeking counsel from your pastor or his wife?

Are you concerned they're doing this, or that you have to hear it? That really makes a difference on how you handle it.

A little bit of both, but mosty because their complaining to each other and not consulting it with the people that are important. It really shouldn't consern them.

Any other outlooks on this situation?

My parents have pet peeves that they don't want to talk about with the people whom they have the pet peeves.
Parents always have pet peeves, and the reason for that as you get older we can’t run with the flow of younger people.

We are living in the latter days of perilous times when we will see the flock begin to fail in true faith, and take on a new age faith that is contrary to His Word.

We see it daily, and as we get older we think back to the times when leaders would speak out, but today they don’t, because of the political correctness, and the never-ending attack upon the Body of Christ.

You are 17 years of age, and your parents are seeing things changing, and they can do anything about it, because it appears to be too hard. So they begin to whine and moan about this and that, and then the Pharisees get on the band-wagon and accuse them of gossiping and backbiting, but when they are concerned what they see and they just don’t seem to have an answer to what they are concerned about.

(if you can follow that) It always happens on a Sunday after church. on the way home they complain and voice their opinions to each other. It drives me nuts!
Yes, when you are young and have a life ahead of you, all you can see in your parents is what you are seeing, because that is how it is in the latter days of perilous times.

Why not ask your parents, why they feel this way, and get them to explain their real feelings, and you won’t be knocking them but encouraging them to get it really off their chest what is really biting into to them.

When we carry hurt and ofence around in our heart, it shows up in different ways.

And I can't voice my opinion too much or else dad would consider it backtalking.
Don’t voice your opinion, but ask them why they feel that way?

Dad gets irritated with a church member who he says seems to "always has to talk out". and my mom gets exasperated with two of her Suday school students.
Now this is normal, but I believe their might be something deeper as well.

Since I live in a small community, I know all three of these people. I partially agree with my mom on her front, but I think my dad is just being a stiff christian who isn't really listening to her words, because she asks the congregation to step up in some way or another whether its to pray or to go visit a community member. How do I handle my parents with their problems, yet not crossing any lines.
In love, forgiveness, encouragement, and understanding. Speak to them, and learn from their past experiences. Maybe some commonsense may come out of it.

Be blessed in Jesus’ Name.
