Do your parents realize that you're serious? I've seen far too many
cases of non-observant people not realizing how much they're hurting
their observant relatives by making it impossible for them to be
observant. There's a great tendency for people to feel as if anyone
who's more observant than them is unreasonable.
Perhaps going somewhere else for the second Seder (if you have
somewhere else to go) would convince them. Or perhaps they'd just
think you were being ureasonable. I don't know. You certainly have
my sympathy.

problems very well)
