parents
My parents do the same thing. I think most people do what your parents are doing. You know... having "family meetings" and shit. I know we've talked about this before and I know that you know it already, but sometimes you just can't change people. You can try, but sometimes it just doesn't work. It can be very frustrating though.
I know.... just had another bust up... and they took it badly when all I want is to explain myself. They want me to be more enthusiastic and motivated in life, but I keep telling them that I need a reason why anything should matter, and they keep going round in circles (assuming that I care about stuff that I wouldn't) - it's more fundamental than that.
What really annoyed my dad is that I said that in honesty I sometimes feel pressured into doing what he says just to keep him quiet, (including particularly that job interview a few weeks back), and that although I do stand up against it sometimes, when I do I always face a huge arguement and I couldn't see any way it could go well. He was annoyed that I allowed him to go to the effort of trying to find me work when I felt really torn up about it inside, but it was either that or put him through another go-nowhere arguement, nothing I could have done would be nice.
Maybe I can't change them, but it's my only hope. I care about them, but it'll take pressure on them to understand, I'd have to get them to feel guilty themselves, that would hurt me, but it could work. There is no easy way, it breaks my heart to put them through this, but long term I don't see any other choice

I know it can be painful, but I think you're doing the right thing by standing up to them. Maybe one day your parents will realize that you aren't trying to be difficult and that you aren't a kid anymore... that you are capable of making your own choices.
thankyou 
I like to think that everytime I get a little tiny bit closer - but I dunno, maybe when they've tired themselves out psychologically... then anger would strain them, and they could also give up advocating social pretences
