Think I've made an awful mistake

I'm going to throw in a different perspective. I offer to do all sorts of jobs for my parents, and I tell them to just tell me when they're ready. Then I wait, and wait, and wait.

I found out through the grapevine just the other day that my dad doesn't like to bother me, so he won't ask. By extension, my mum is probably the same. So in essence, they're waiting for me to fix a time, and I'm waiting for them to say when they want to go ahead.

 

Clueless, are you up for adoption? Maybe?
