This is a tricky one. Very much dependent on your relationship with your parents. My advice would be to prepare what you want to get across, make sure you know exactly what you want to get across (so you don't forget when things get emotional or heated). Choose an appropriate time. Take a deep breath and go for it!

I would wait for a time my parents are not busy, and the house is empty from visitors. I would then ask them if I could speak with them for just a little time.

Two ways one if your parents are open to listening then it's a matter of you managing to get nought courage and walk to them and requesting some time may be one by one or both together. Other aspect is when they are not the listening types and then you just need to create a seen and introduce that there is a problem and sit quietly. May be they will follow it up themselves.

Depends on their mood. If they look fine, tell them that you have something to share and you need their motivation/help :)

Ask them to meet me in a quiet room and talk with them about what I need to tell them so it is safer.

I don't think that you necessarily always have to sit your parents down. Sometimes it works for people to send a text message, call, write a letter, or tell them in some other form. I think wording is important too, because you want to get the message across that something is genuinely wrong.

A good relationship is all about communication. For that first analyse the situation. Choose a proper time. Fir example if he's returned after a hectic schedule, you never say such things otherwise instead of getting u, he'll think u are complaining. So first choose a proper time. Do something good for him. When he's relaxed and in calm mind, try to explain things in a ways that u want the relationship work not in a complaining manner.
