Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
It sounds as though you are maturing. You are realising that the world does not revolve around you and other people are affected by the way you act and the things you do and say.
That is a good thing but don't let it worry you, parents understand that this comes with the package of having kids and at some point (hopefully) the children will understand just what their parents do do for them.
I would suggest that maybe you could prepare a meal for them, sit them down and tell them how you feel, that you really appreciate everything they have done for you and that you will attempt to show this appreciation more in the future.
My guess is that they will be thrilled that they have brought you up to become so responsible and will understand and accept what you are saying to them. You can tell them that although you have had this 'epiphany' that it doesn't mean you won't slip occasionally, after all, you are human. Just don't leave them with all the washing up.
Best of luck to you.

Well they aren't gone yet right? Then you still have time.
Lately I've been hit by how supportive my parents are as well. They aren't perfect people and I'm not perfect either, but they love me and have been wonderful to me and I am grateful.
Call your parents or write them a letter explaining how you feel. You could also make them a nice dinner, or buy them a gift certificate to a restaurant, or clean the house or mow the lawn or something to make their lives easier as a small thank you for all they've done.
There is no reason for you to feel guilty. Your parents probably don't feel the slightest bit bad about making sacrifices for you. You are their child and they want you to be happy and have a good life. I do think a lot of your sorrow will go away if you just take the time to thank them and let them know you love them.

If you feel that bad about it then you should tell them that you're sorry, and do all you can to make up for it
