It's a hard thing to find family time with two busy doctors in the house.

But I'm sure they have a day or two off, you have to catch them then, and express your feelings to them.

ask them to bring you out for family outing, if not, keep asking until theyre feel guilty

When you grow up, you would hate it if they pay attention to you, but if you really want them to, then simply tell them, there is no easier way and any other way will make you an attention seeking drama queen.

Sit down with them and tell them seriously that you want to discuss something with them. Then tell them how you feel.

If they don't even have enough time to do that, make an appointment with them, since they're doctors.

Whatever it is, make a point. Be serious. Don't appear whiny and clingy. Appear like an adult so they'll know you're beyond serious and you have to be taken seriously.

Let them know that what you're about to go through is very important for you and your future and you want them to be a part of it. Tell them you don't want to look back when you're an adult and realize they're not really part of the 'picture'.

Good luck!

You need to talk to them and tell them what is coming up and that you would really appreciate their support in this matter. Leave them messages on their phones, or the best is to talk to them at in person. Tell them you know they are very busy and dedicated doctors, but right now you could use a little bit of that attention too.

Tell them how you feel. Go to dinner together or a family outing and let them know that you should go together as family atleast twice a month.

Talk to them. Doctors play a very important role in the Society. When it is husband and wife as doctors, their goal is to provide the best for the community and for you.They might want to provide you things that they didn't have, but in the process they have forgotten to see your needs than wants.

Leave a note on the fridge explaining what you need and stay at a friend's house (pretend you vanished) .. They'll come crawling to you soon enough! (via a phone call)

By acting out. This is what kids usually do unconsiously because kids want attention good, or bad. You could go tell them to their face that they aren't even raising you or paying attention to you,but most kids don't want to do that.

Sometimes I feel the same way.

Maybe try suggesting a quick little breakfast before they go off to work. Better yet: cook them a breakfast. While you guys are eating as a family start mentioning the exam and etc.

Good luck!

TELL THEM!! Just say, "I'm feeling like we don't spend enough time together" ooorrr "I'm feeling a little neglected." SOMETHING like that.

Parents are the ones who will always understand, and if they heard how you felt Im sure they would jump all over the opportunity to be with you.

talk to them and ask for it, tell them that if all efforts they are doing is for you then its waste if they dont give some time to you, even tell them that you need their help in your life as being your parents

tell them atleast they can think that you are also a patient of their love and they must give sometimes in their busy schedule to this patient as well :)) i think they'll understand your problem.

and about the encouragement let me push best of luck!! soon you'll reach to your goal of life. goodluck with your exams.

It is very easy for parents to get tied up in their day to day responsabilities with work and supporting the family, paying bills etc. , but they chose to have a child and every child needs a certain amount of attention. Ask them in a mature fashion to sit down with you, that you have something to say to them and explain, you understand that they are busy and have a lot of responsabilities, but that you are feeling a little left behind and need them a little more at this time in your life and explain to them why and what you are feeling.

Leave a note for them that you need to talk with them. When you have their attention, let them know you're at a point in your life where you feel the direction you go depends on the outcome of this test, and it's kind of tough and you would like their encouragement and some of their time to help you through it.

I like your attitude!
