As odd as it sounds, why can't you make home like an adventure too? Try on several jobs and see what fits. No need to sit around. You wouldn't be doing that in New Zealand right?

Your parents...well you have grown and they have stayed the same. Frustrating but it is life. When you aren't actively moving forward and trying out new things, you can so easily fall into a rut. So your Dad sounds deep in affairville where everything around him that he knows and loves is bad and his partner and that life is grand. Your Mom probably has an idea what is going on but as she is getting older, most likely doesn't want to rock the boat.

How about a seabreeze as I am first? Yippee!!
