I really don’t like my major and I’m on the week of finals…help?

My parents are wondering why I’m delaying signing up for the online course I need to take this summer, but I never told them why I’m delaying it. It’s b/c I don’t think I’m gonna be able to handle the major I’m in. I already failed a certification exam. This is for nutrition. I did well when I was an education major and also had an associate’s degree in it. I got B on average in the major courses. In nutrition, I already got a D in a course for it and need a C+ for it. I’m failing chem miserably. I don’t know how to tell my parents that I don’t like this major and I don’t want them to feel hurt. I wanna go back to my old major or even switch it to psychology. They’re gonna be so mad at me, and may even make me quit school even though I’m truly sorry. I feel like I’m so toast. How should I tell them? I mean it’d be cheaper for them to pay for retaking of the praxis rather than extra semesters of retaking nutrition courses.

i hate finals
