If you are not the combative type, then just don't say anything and end the conversation as politely as you can. But that won't ever stop them from scolding you in such a manner.
Do they always scold you over small things or big things? How are you compared to your siblings? Are they more successful than you? Education wise where do they stand?
And your parents, conservative? Old fashioned? Retired? What do they do or did for a living?
Not intending to pry into personal details, but I am trying to form a mental picture of the type of parents you have. It'd go along way to understanding where this scolding is coming from.
